Hale bales. Hail bales? Hay bales!

Melanie’s photo shoot was one of my favorites. I mean, wouldn’t every girl like to have pictures of herself all dressed up in her twenties? I love to look at pictures of my grandmother when she was in her twenties. I wish I could go back in time and meet my grandmothers and mother and [...]

Sneak Peek: Melanie, mid-twenties.

Well, guess who finished up at the office hours before she thought she would and ended up getting to have three little fairies come over to spend the night? Apparently, from what their father told me when he called to ask if they could come over, they were missing me as much as I had [...]

Something to love.

Because I’m working so many hours this week (not complaining, I promise!) I haven’t gotten to see the fabulous five much this week. MacKenzie’s in Knoxville, but I’ll see her this weekend. Aviean is at the beach with her grandmother. Angelina, Juliana and Olivia are here in town, just not here in my arms since [...]

Dear MacKenzie, meet the Pioneer Woman.

Internet, I think you’re going to like this story. This past Sunday, I went to Toys ‘R Us to find birthday gifts for MacKenzie and Angelina (I am planning a mermaid birthday party!). I really wanted to get MacKenzie a digital camera, because she loves watching me take pictures and has asked me for her [...]

Whilst dancing circles around him.

The other day, Gosling sent me a text asking if I wanted to play Dr. Mario. I replied: “What’s wrong, is your self-esteem too high and you need it beaten down by a girl?” because, when it comes to Dr. Mario, I reign victorious over Gosling. He sent some text back about how I couldn’t [...]

Things that happened to me before noon today.

1. I made my hair a little too curly. I looked like a goose. – — – 2. I went to a bakery to pick up a big order for a meeting at work and, when I got there, realized they weren’t open at 7 a.m. Went around to the back door (I know the [...]

Here comes the bride. And here comes the other bride, too.

As I mentioned yesterday, it’s wedding central over here in my little world. Both of my cousins from opposite sides of my family are getting married. Marisa will get married in October and Cate will get married whenever her fiancĂ© gets to come home from Iraq. (Cate is doing extremely well with it, by the [...]

We put the we in weekend.

Oh, the weekend, it was full, full, full. A friend of mine from high school, Melanie, came to visit me! I took her to eat dinner at the historic Chattanooga Choo Choo. Here’s the story: they took some train cars and made them into hotel rooms and restaurants. I have wanted to go on a [...]

Tender.

It’s time to tell you about Bank Boy. You’re only going to understand what I’m about to tell you, if you go and watch “Taylor the Latte Boy” first. Basically, there’s a boy who works where I bank – Bank Boy, if you will – and I’m pretty sure we have a “connection” with each [...]

Hips don’t lie.

Oh, Thursday, how I wish I had done better with you. It wasn’t a bad day, I’m just frustrated with myself. Relationships are messy and I hate that sometimes we all feel caught in that awful place of knowing that whichever way you go is going to hurt you or someone else. I also hate [...]
