It barely rained at all this April, but we’ve had spectacular flowers anyway. Once it did finally start raining in May, everything started growing, growing, growing. Sprouts, shoots, branches, buds, springing up from every empty space. Cracks in the sidewalk, the space between the slats on the porch, the nook in the tree, chinks in [...]

Hi. Remember me? The flaky unreliable one?

Y’all, I’m honestly embarrassed by how long it has been since my last post. But I do have a few excuses. I am also well aware that no one wants to hear excuses. But, 2010 has been kind of crazy so far. I left my old job, had a few panic attacks about what I [...]
Drop off a Bear, pick up a Lamb

Briscoe is at the salon today, getting her hair did. Her hair was getting so long I was starting to feel neglectful. I can’t wait to pick her up so Bobby can have a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb. I’ve been getting some awesome blog love from Betsy and Molly, my sweet Atlanta friends [...]

Listen, just last week I was bragging on you, how awesome the month of October is, and all the wonderfulness that goes along with Fall. But ever since, you’ve been sort of acting out. First you got really hot. Like, wow. My car said 101 in the sun one day last week. I think it [...]
Happy October!

As most of you know, October is the best month of the year because it is the month I was born. No really, it has to do with football. Or maybe it’s the weather. Or the leaves and the candy corn and the pumpkins (and the pumpkin candy corns) and the smells! October smells like boiled peanuts, [...]
The road to hell

I had great intentions of having lots of interesting and funny things to say tonight, but then I got really distracted by this blog – Strange Maps. I love maps. That, coupled with the fact that my laptop is on his last leg and the keyboard only works when tilted a little forward, has sort [...]
Adventures in Babysitting

I have been dog sitting for my parents for the past week. Bo and Bella are kind of ridiculous dogs, but I love them and they have been trying to be cooperative, but mother nature has been making this very difficult. I went to sleep early on Monday night, and Briscoe was upstairs with me. [...]

My brother and I are 4th generation Musketeers, as is my cousin if I think about it. This year marks the 225 anniversary of [...]
Frosty Update

So I’ve told y’all about Donald, my handy-man. He has single handedly remodeled my house for me. Donald was installing some light fixtures for me the other day, and he was telling me about how he had to go home and baby sit his aunt. Apparently she’s real old and doesn’t know what is going [...]
