Choose Joy. Every Time.

NaNoWriMonday – 1:3

Beginning Previous “I should not speak of it, but I was. I always pictured that the Almighty was a Heavenly Father. It should not matter if the Almighty has a male or female form. The Almighty is greater than anything we can picture.” She straightened in her seat as she said this. Ever concerned that she let her audience know that God, in any form, was nothing to trifle with..

Weekly Winners – Photos

Week Two of Lotus’ weekly winners meme. Why this picture? Because this bit of blissful baby sleep is after he nursed all day long. Nursed. NURSED. Every. Time. All. Day. Not just a little snack, but like, “Good Lord, Mommy, where have these things been all my life?” And … because … he’s just beautiful in this shot … And it’s such a nice complement to *this* little raspberry blowing..

Friendship Award

I got this award from Mrs. Flipphead – which is really humbling to me because she’s spent a whole lot of time talking me out of my crazy tree created by the head baby of Camp Sleep is for Losers. This week, this award is meant for two people. Which isn’t to say that they are the *only* two who I want to give this to, but this week, it’s.. Read More

7 Things Meme

Got tagged, twice which was funny, because I’d been thinking of answers to this meme – then got tagged and promptly forgot about all the genius things I’d thought of to say. Here are the rules: 1 – Link to the person who tagged you and post the rules on your blog. 2 – Share seven random and/or weird things about yourself. 3 – Tag seven random people at the.. Read More

I’m thankful for blogging

There’s no way I’m going to be as eloquent as this topic deserves, but this post has been rolling around for a while, and today is the right day to set it to words. Please bear with me here. *** I started reading blogs while I was pumping. It gave me something to focus on to pass the time of the at least two hours a day I spend listening.. Read More

Travel and stuff….

So while I’m virtually sitting vigil with Lotus while she waits for John to make his way through the heinous flight schedule he has – I get this email from my mom: Since it was about 70 degrees yesterday, the SNOW is melting when it hits the ground. And I laughed. Actually I’m still laughing. I’m giggling. I can’t help it. It just so ridiculous!

Tainted Love

Last week I read this post, which was entertaining and aggravating because we’ve all been there, it totally sucks when you get stuck next to someone anal on an airplane. I clicked the link in the post … and when I saw what the link was about I got icky cold shivers and clicked away. And then I got curious and I clicked back. Then I put my fingers in.. Read More

Cheapa$$ part two

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

NaNoWriMonday – 1:2

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

Weekly Winners – Photos

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 🙂

My Preppy Name

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..

PBK meets Cheapa$$

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
