Yes, it has been a long time since my last post. One of these days, I’m going to get back into the habit of regular blogging. Aywho, tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Last year, I posted a list of things I’m thankful for. I’d like to do that again this year, but with a twist. Since my…
Read MoreAs I’ve probably said before, I sing with a fabulous group of ladies called the Metro Nashville Chorus. I’ve become rather involved: Not only am I in the chorus, but I’m also in a quartet, I’m on the music team, and I’m on the management team as the Membership Coordinator. As Membership Coordinator, I decided…
Read MoreThe prayer service started at 6:30. It would be short; the president would be addressing the nation at 7pm (central). I stayed in the nursery with Pierce and Reagan, because neither of them were in the mood to sit quietly. I could watch the service on a monitor. At seven, the men in the control…
Read MoreEyewitnesses were being interviewed one after another. The second plane was crashing into the tower over and over again. One thing I noticed was how blue the sky was. It was such a beautiful day in New York City. The black smoke just didn’t belong in the picture. Finally, at 9:30 (central), I scooped up…
Read MoreAs I get older, it is unbelievable to me how very fast time goes by. In just a few short days, the world will acknowledge the 10 year anniversary of 9/11. Even though I was not directly affected by the events of that day, I find myself resisting the process of remembering. All of the…
Read MoreApril is Autism Awareness Month. It also happens to be the month in which our son, Pierce, celebrates his birthday. In less than two weeks, my boy will be (gulp)…a teenager. I can hardly believe it, though he’s had acne and a mustache for months now. Last week, Tim and I went to a meeting…
Read MoreA week or two ago, I got an email notifying me that I’d been added to a new group on Facebook. It was a group for my high school graduating class of 1992. It seems it’s time to start planning our 20th reunion. I have to be honest and say that the very thought of…
Read MoreOkay, so here is how I’ve been doing on my quest to save more money. I waited until today so I could report on January and February. I’ll give you the total amount saved for the month, and then give some highlights of my best deals. I’m pretty stinkin‘ pleased with myself, but I know…
Read MoreBefore I get to the topic of my post, let me say, “Happy New Year”! I’ve obviously been slow to get back into the swing of things. Today marks the end of our first five-day school week since mid-December. To say I am sick of snow (heck; winter in general) is a ridiculous under-statement. So…
Read MoreI’ve had this blog for nearly a year now. When I started, I was full of motivation and ready to make some changes. I’ve had some personal setbacks throughout the year, as did most of Nashville. Let me tell you, the Noah’s Ark jokes got old reeeeeeally quickly. With each speed bump, I managed to…
