Read The Fine Print

September 29, 2007

A stop at our handy dandy convenience store this morning caused us to notice this sign in the window. Yes, they are hiring at the convenience store. As an incentive to sign on, they even offer medical insurance! Did I tell y’all that my husband has a twisted sense of humor? Faster than a speeding [...]

Name That Tune Contest

September 28, 2007

I told y’all in yesterday’s post that we would have a contest today (aside: go see the video I posted, if you haven’t already). I showed you the prize that you could win, as a teaser. Some of you jumped the gun and tried to name a song associated with the prize! That’s OK, it [...]

For the Moms (and anyone who ever had one)

September 27, 2007

My friend Connie sent me the link to this in an e-mail, and I thought it was hilarious so I had share it with you. The performer says she figured out what a Mom would say in a 24 hour period and condensed it into 2 minutes and 55 seconds. She sings it to the [...]

Thursday Thirteen Number 28. I Do NOT Feel Guilty

September 26, 2007

Y’all, it’s been said that “Guilt” is my middle name. I do carry a lot of guilt around on my shoulders. I feel awful when I don’t go read my friend’s blogs. If I don’t get a thank you note or a comment answered on time, it makes me feel wretched. Just to cheer myself [...]

Time Makes Me Cuckoo

September 26, 2007

Time makes me cuckoo. There is never enough time in my day to get everything done. Once in my life I was considered to be a very organized person. So much so, that I was asked to give seminars on the subject. Y’all get up off the floor and quit giggling! OK, the truth is [...]

Only The Good. About Face

September 25, 2007

As we were riding around Dallas, TX trying to find some good places to shop for vintage clothing, my husband and I passed a high school with some remarkable artwork on its walls. I didn’t even write down the name of the school, or on what street it was located. All I know is that [...]

Manic Monday, In More Ways Than One

September 24, 2007

It’s Manic Monday, in more ways than one around here. Mo at It’s A Blog Eat Blog World gives us a word prompt each week, and those of us who participate use that to inspire a post. The word for today is “kit.” This weekend, I’ve been working on some afghan “kits” for Share A [...]

All The Signs Are There

September 23, 2007

A change is in the air. Today is the first day of fall. It’s the autumnal equinox, when the sun is directly over the equator, and day and night are of equal length. I’d know that without a calendar, people, because all the signs are there. When I step on my porch to have my [...]

Neck And Neck

September 21, 2007

The Dear Abby Writing Contest is a close race! At this moment, Jamie’s King Henry VIII has only a slight lead (one vote) over Sara’s Muffin Lady. But, Lara’s What Now and Teamouse’s All Plucked Out could come from behind. I’m curious to see how it all shakes out. Tomorrow at High Noon, the voting [...]

Disappearing Act

September 20, 2007

Y’all, I went to my hairdresser the other day, where I always find out interesting tidbits of information that I would otherwise not know. All of the world’s knowledge passes through the doors of the beauty shop. Lucky for you, I share it with you, and you don’t have to go to the hairdresser. Paula [...]

Up A Creek Without A Paddle

September 19, 2007

Technically, I did have a paddle on the day I’m telling you about. And, I wasn’t quite up a creek. My Momma and Daddy had decided to take their party boat, the “Digger O’Dell,” out on the lake and had invited several other couples to go along. Though my sister and I were invited, neither [...]

Dire Consequences

September 19, 2007

Do y’all remember back in the old days, when you sauntered out to the post box, expecting to see bills, and got the unexpected surprise of a letter from a friend? You were delighted until… YOU OPENED IT TO DISCOVER THAT IT WAS A CHAIN LETTER! You know what I’m talking about. It told you [...]

In The Meme Time

September 18, 2007

In the blog world, we pass around “memes.” If you aren’t a blogger, you are thinking, “Say whut?” It rhymes with “themes,” or “dreams,” or “schemes.” Basically, it’s just a questionnaire, sometimes used to tell you more about, well me-me-me! That’s assuming that you want to know about me, and that I haven’t already told [...]

Manic Monday. Beauty Is Only Skin Deep

September 16, 2007

I don’t know about the rest of y’all, but when I was young I totally bought into the idea that I should look like a supermodel. The magazines at the checkout stand in the grocery store told me how I was supposed to look, and even told me how to achieve that look. All I [...]

Dear Abby, You won’t believe this, but

September 15, 2007

I let YOU be Dear Abby on my Thursday Thirteen, and some of you got very creative! Y’all are funny! I woke my husband up with my cackling this morning; he thought we had a hen in the study laying eggs for breakfast. Scroll down to see how some of you answered the Dear Abby [...]

A Quick Note

September 13, 2007

I’ve been all tangled up in yarn again. We are getting many afghans made! Connie K. just e-mailed today to tell me she will have four more to deliver on the last day of the month. She also shared her “wallpaper” on her computer at work. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ [...]
