We visited some friends at their farm today. Ali got to see many things… Including being shocked that “fishing” didn’t at all mean what she thought it meant: It was a bit of a jolt, but fascinating nonetheless… She enjoyed climbing all of the different fences to see the animals… Including the Llamas digging deeply […]
Ugly Ducks.
Ali and I have been taking trips to the park lately to feed the geese. And, because we’re nice (and we’re afraid of what they’d do to us if we didn’t), we’ve also fed the overly pushy and extraordinarily frightening Ugly Ducks. …of whom I mentioned one day on Twitter and Facebook, and no one […]
When Tailgations Collide.
The LSU / Alabama game is always a study in human nature worth experiencing. ESPECIALLY before the game (and, I daresay after the game may even be more so, but we’ve never stayed to risk it.) LSU fans are hugely supportive and tailgate-esque, nearly as much so as Alabama. So when the two come together, […]
The Only Blog Post This Weekend Without Halloween Costume Pictures.
My family, along with a very large group of other families, has gone on an annual camping trip the weekend of Halloween since I was about six or seven years old (last year’s trip can be found here). This being said, my child has yet to own a Halloween costume in her short life. So, […]
Friday Night Lights
Friday night was Homecoming at our Church’s Private School, which also happens to be Chris’ Alma Mater. So we decided that Ali needed to experience “Little Football”, since she recently got her first experience of “Big Football”. Ali was quite thrilled with the situation. Every time the fans would cheer, she would jump, wide-eyed with […]
The Contents of My Brain, In Numbered Fashion.
1. Admission of Guilt. Mom gave me a dozen eggs lovingly laid by her chickens yesterday at lunch. Ali was thrilled. Nothing is better than Gramamma’s eggs. Err, Gramamma’s CHICKEN’S eggs, that is. Anyway. We were getting out of the car, and…. Yes. It fell. All of them, in their multi-colored beauty. Smashed. In the […]
A Fleaed Foamy Feline.
So I very suddenly and violently came down with an allergy to Oreo on Friday. We’ve had her for five years, and I have always bragged about her amazing hypo-allergenic properties – she doesn’t dander, she isn’t oily – she’s tiny and puffy and pretty and clean. Until Friday. I couldn’t quit sneezing, feeling sinus […]
I’m Using My "Get Out of Blog Free" Card Today.
So the last couple of weeks have been ten times more chaotic than normal weeks, BESIDES the fact that I’m leaving for New York this morning and have been completely unprepared, thanks to the current state of chaos of the rest of my life. So, in order that I can get myself together enough to […]
A Shredded Diary.
So I have been doing The “30” Day Shred workout video along with the rest of the Bloggy World, and, in the interest of full disclosure and accurate blogging, I kept a diary of my workout experience to be able to properly review the DVD of Doom product. Without further ado, here is my Shredded […]
Kind of Like a Slideshow…Or A Pretty Pink Princess Photographical Parade.
Ali was invited to a Fairy Princess Birthday party on Saturday. The honored Princess was Abby, who was turning four. Ali was thrilled at the prospect of a party full of princesses, so we prepared the present in princess fashion and set off for Princess Paradise: We were immediately rushed upstairs to the Princess Preparation […]
