Oh here we go! Now I’ll break it down (stop! hammer time!) 4 dollar peg rack from Michaels that I painted – sucky part was that it didn’t come with hanging brackets on the back so we had to hammer tiny little nails into the back to hold on the brackets. Redneck bumper pad. Alex keeps backing out of the crib and he can’t figure out how to pull his.. Read More
Beginning She relaxed and said, “Good morning.” The other woman smiled gently, as a mother to a daughter and replied, “Good morning, dear.” She gently smoothed her hand over the younger woman’s hair as she shuffled past to her own chair at the table. The older woman was thin, angular and harsh looking around the edges. Her hair was drawn back in a bun, but there were springs of hair.. Read More
Lotus has started a weekly winners meme. My photography skillz totally don’t measure up – but I think my subject will help make up for it. He’s playing with my favorite bear of all time – Jasper. And he has the “just woke up” pink cheeks going on. 5 points to the person who can identify the publication he shredded in the background 🙂
Your Preppy Name Is… Pomeroy Steele Holden the Fourth But most people know you as Buffy What’s Your Preppy Name? Feel free to refer to me as Buffy in all our correspondence now. As a side note – Alex started crawling on Thursday. It seems to be helping him fall asleep better – last night he was grizzly and fighting sleep till he crawled up on Scout’s chest and fell..

Nursery decorating part one: Pottery Barn Kids curtains. Bed Bath and Beyond hardware. And I swear ya’lls, I should have taken photos and blogged how effing long it took me to get the thing out of the package. It was hermetically sealed in scissor deflecting plastic bordered by cardboard. It took me longer to get the thing out of the package than it did to attach to the wall. No.. Read More

Unintentional Darth Tater flashing:
Okay, so I’m actually more or less at post 200, but you’ll forgive me if I only give 100 things about me – really, I’m just looking out for you. 1. I have turned 27. 2. More than once. 3. Scout and I were married 9 years, 1 month, and 14 days after our first kiss. 4. I knew he was my lobster before he knew he was my lobster… Read More
Here’s the first page of the novel: The table was wooden, walnut, stained and scarred from years of use. Shiny like many hands with many rags had swept over it’s surface to keep it clean. It was hard, dented, worn, and loved. The chairs that were placed around it were in similar condition. Mismatched, selected for the comfort of the user, rather than the beauty of a matched set. The..

So yesterday I spazzed over not getting to read people, and ya’ll assured me that I was still loved and to pull my head out of my ass and stuff like that. Irony is that yesterday, I was 3 hits away from my best day ever on the blog – traffic wise. Which I think I just really, really funny. PPD Watch – day two – much better – the.. Read More
Today I had to do the unthinkable. I can’t…. I don’t even want to admit it to you…. But you deserve the truth…. In the midst of NaBloMe (Dawn 2Pair coined it, I merely steal it) and NaNoWriMyAssOffMo, and the hundreds of unread posts in my reader, and then the painters being here and not being able to get on the ‘net all one day this week, and then actually..

Officially, it was last week – as Mary Alice and Jen planned. And I was actually working on it. Last week. On Thursday. It was even ON my calendar. But I forgot it was Thursday. You know, Mom brain. So, now that it’s Thursday again … I’ve learned how to knit hats, on circular needles. Alex has been sleeping on me for naps (still). I have a ton of old.. Read More
