I got a call a few minutes ago from someone who told me they have two tickets to an event for me — “and a date.” There was about a one second pause before I began laughing hysterically.  I mean, I just could not stop laughing. For me “and a date.”  Seriously, it’s cracking me [...]

I’m happy to report that last night’s adventure at Disney on Ice was quite the success but, before I tell you about it, first things first. We haven’t even really talked about the beach trip yet! We had a lovely time at the beach this past weekend! As you already know by now, not only [...]

Tonight, fastening the car seat strap around Avi before we headed to my house for a slumber party – “Avi, we’ve got to get home because the puppies are alone and sad!” Avi, without missing a beat – “What if they’re just alone but not sad?” – — – I’m trying to learn it, even [...]

I met up with Gosling to have lunch in the campus Dining Hall a few minutes ago and, upon seeing him, said the following: “Gosling, I am about to say the truest words I have ever spoken to you.” But then all the sudden I realized he smelled good so I started talking about that, [...]

On my way home from Memphis a couple of weekends ago, Nicholas and I met up near Atlanta and went to run some errands together on that Sunday evening. We finished up at a store and, as he drove us through downtown Atlanta after the sky had gone black, I began thinking about the last [...]

I did not make even one tiny edit to this photo… … because I want you to see exactly what my eyes got to see this weekend as I peered through the lens of my camera. (If you think you liked this photo, you just wait for the rest.)
