Showin’ off on Saturday

So. I’ve been known to share some of the cooler things I’ve been able to pull off … which I realized might just be construed as … showin’ off. And showin’ off alone isn’t NEARLY as much fun as showin’ off with your friends. (Right Ivy?) So, here’s my brainchild – Whenever I find something to show off about, I’m gonna invite YOU to show off with me too. I’ll.. Read More

7 things + Christmas Hoopla

I figure when I get tagged twice, I gotta do it. For Carrie and for MP, here I go. 1. I have the coolest Secret Blogger Santa ever. Go say hello to her. Now… I’ll wait. 2. While I go insane at the whole “politically correct” arena, I think people who use the word “retarded” and don’t know the actual common criteria of diagnosis of it must be a little.. Read More

The preppy crowd

The things that I ask should be read with a “no really, I’m curious, and want to know your opinion” tone of voice, not a “why the eff would you ever do something like that” tone of voice. Just something to keep in mind as you read.) In.. Read More

How to make my husband fall in love with me

again and again and again. He’d been away on an overnight trip for work that involved some hella long hours and stress in a part of the state not particularly known for its culture nor class. As he was putting away groceries I noticed he was putting away some American Beer*. I gasped in shock. Me: Scout, you were away TOO LONG! What happened to you?! WHY did you buy.. Read More

NaNoWriMonday – 1:6

Beginning Previous entry Leta was immersed in another thought by this time. Her mother’s words were coming back to her. “Mother, do you think it would have been different for Glenna if Dr. Welch hadn’t have died? If Father would not have needed to ride so far for a doctor?” Abby was just slightly past the point of contemplating possibilities. “I believe it was Glenna’s time to join our savior,.. Read More

Courses of Study + Pay it Forward

(First off – can anyone look at my source code and tell me what I need to do to move the “Alex Year One” down so it’s not cut off? I really don’t know what I breathed on to move it, so I don’t even know where to begin hunting and pecking to see what will fix it.) I nabbed a tag from Secret Agent Mama for this one: Rules:..
