While driving home from Kentucky on Sunday I was chatting with Nadine when I suddenly noticed police lights behind me. Since my natural tendency is to slam on the brakes regardless of what speed I’m traveling, I slammed on my brakes and watched him in my rearview mirror. I looked up in time to notice …
Actually, I walked away from this weekend with THREE t-shirts, a hat that says Up Hoo’s’es (my writing friends will understand), a bracelet … and enough memories to hopefully last until the next time we all get together. Camp Runamuck (aka Cumberland Falls, KY) lived up to its moniker. I wasn’t there the entire week …
*rustling and crashing* *sniffling and snuffling* HEEEELLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPP! I can’t find my mama anywhere! Do you know where she is? Is she ever coming back? I looked all over the place and I can’t find her. OOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWOOOOooooooooOOOOOOO!!!!
This is where I’ll be tomorrow! I’m leaving after work today to join a group of my writing friends for a camping trip in Kentucky. Squee! This is the same group that I met in Chicago last December and I’m even more excited this time around because the nervousness of meeting them is gone. Squee!
Saturday I brought Owen to the vet for his one-year rabies shot (that’s right, he’s got a big day coming up) and I asked the vet about obedience classes. He knows basic commands but he’s STILL super excited all the time and I’d like him to greet people without climbing all over them. (I know …
Our church is having “the world’s largest garage sale” this weekend and we’ve had piles accumulating for the past month or so. I went through all the clothes I’ve had in storage for the last three years and ended up with ten bag (TEN BAGS!) of clothes and shoes to donate. Ten bags! A lot …
We all know that feeling — you’re looking forward to something SO much that when it finally arrives you’re either let down because it’s not everything you thought it’d be, or on the flip side, it’s so much better you literally explode from the excitement. Either way, a day or two later, you are wiped …
My best friend got married on Saturday and while the entire weekend was a blast, the bride was GORGEOUS, and we had fun at every turn, a little thought kept niggling at me: You have to write a speech. You have to write a speech. And even worse: You have to GIVE a speech. You …
Well good morning! I arrived in Kentucky yesterday for my best friend’s wedding and it seems my blog slipped my mind. Sorry about that. I’m leaving the hotel in three minutes and will spend my day finishing programs, drinking champagne, painting my toes, drinking champagne, rehearsing for the big day, then probably drinking champagne. Oh, …
I finished reading Stephen Parrish’s The Tavernier Stones over the weekend and have been anxious to tell you about it. As I’ve said before, I suck at book reviews, so please bear with me. In the opening pages The Tavernier Stones is compared to Dan Brown’s Lost Symbol, and I’ve gotta tell you, that worried …
