I awoke this morning to the semi darkness of the late sunrise of early autumn. Getting out of bed this time of year is exceedingly difficult, and as much as I hate the darkness when I get off work, I appreciate the sunlight in the morning. I intensely covet the ability to bounce of out bed [...]

Monday After Lament of the Maid of Honor
Posted in Augusta, Favorite People, Georgia, Weddings on May 2, 2011 | 2 Comments »
I know I’ve talked about the Monday after Masters being miserable, but today was equally as depressing. Y’all, Libby’s wedding was last weekend, and I had so much fun, but now I’m depressed. I’m sure that part of it is that the wedding is something Libby and I have been discussing for, oh, the last [...]
El Camino

My new favorite song is Amos Lee and Willie Nelson, with the above stated title. It is soothing, inspiring, and brings to mind desolate, dusty roads with the sun on your shoulders (we are in a convertible of course) and wind in your hair. I”m wearing faded jeans and a white tank top, no watch, [...]
So Icy
Posted in Augusta, Briscoe, Charleston, Weather on January 10, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Everyone in the Southeast had a snow day today. Everyone but a large portion of the city of Charleston. Despite the fact that my stairs were coated with sleet, all of the bridges were closed by 10 am, and ice was heavy on the trees outside my office window, I did not get a snow [...]
Happy Day!

About a month ago it was discovered that statue in memory of my sister, Alice, had been stolen from the grounds of the Old Medical College in Augusta. Alice died from a genetic disorder four months before I was born. She was five years old and had been sick for over three years. My parent’s friends [...]
The Love of October
Posted in Augusta, Briscoe, Charleston on October 21, 2010 | 1 Comment »
I love October. As a classic Libra, October is my month. The stars tend to line up for me in October. Not in any concrete, observeable way, but more in an inter-balance sort of way. Briscoe and I are adjusting to our new city. Kate and Trav came to visit last weekend, and Kate and [...]
April Showers Bring May Flowers
Posted in Augusta, Beauty, Thoughts on May 10, 2010 | 1 Comment »
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?
Posted in Augusta, Georgia, Masters, Television on April 19, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
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 [...]
