I Love It When He Talks Dirty

December 30, 2007

Did I tell y’all that I fell in love with Mr. Tucker because of his HUGE…        …vocabulary? I’ve always been fascinated by words, to the point that my Momma had to remove the dictionary from our bathroom “library.” I’d lock the door and spend hours in there reading while everyone in the [...]

Resolution

December 28, 2007

I was cleaning out a stack of papers yesterday, and found a list of New Year’s Resolutions that I had made a few years ago. Among other things, it listed: Lose 10 pounds Stop procrastinating (in March) Clean out all that junk from the garage Boy Howdy! Now, I’d have to list, among other things: [...]

I FOUND People With Big Hearts

December 27, 2007

During the holiday season, many charities report receiving more donations. It is the “Season of Giving,” after all. It just doesn’t occur to some folks to “give” year round, probably because we all lead such hectic lives. Taking the time to give isn’t always easy. Then, there are some folks who give of themselves (not [...]

Life Gave Me A Lemon

December 26, 2007

So, I bought an Apple. OK, it wasn’t an apple you can eat. It’s a computer. I’m trying to work on my brand spanking new Mac Pro. I haven’t figured out how to do pictures yet, so I can’t show you how pretty it looks. You’ll have to be satisfied with what I could put [...]

Dreaded Vacation Pictures

December 20, 2007

Don’t y’all just hate it when you go to visit at someone’s house and they pull out the Dreaded Vacation Pictures? No they didn’t dread the vacation; YOU dread having to sit there with an artificial grin plastered on your face while they show you pictures that bore… you… to… tears. Well, the good thing [...]

San Francisco 101

December 19, 2007

Have y’all ever been to San Francisco? I believe I’ve told you that it’s just about my favorite place to visit. In fact, I want to live there. I will, just as soon as my Google ads start to pay off for me (or when I win the lottery—which will probably happen sooner!). We just [...]

Loose Ends

December 18, 2007

I’m limping along here and can barely sit at the computer. The weekend trip to San Francisco was a blast, and I’ll share more about it later in the week [if I get where I can sit]. It seems that I aggravated the arthritis in my left knee while navigating all those hills! Or, perhaps [...]

Thursday Thirteen Number 32. Dear Abby Is Back!

December 12, 2007

Dear Abby, I’ve been promising my readers that I would have a contest on my blog, but I have so little time! I’ve been crocheting for a cause, and having to work, too! On top of that, there are the holidays upon us AND my husband and I are planning a last minute getaway leaving [...]

Because I’m Crazy

December 11, 2007

Someone didn’t get the memo. Or, the “meme-o,” as it were. I prefer not to do “memes.” I talk about me-me-me all the time anyway. But, Crank Mama passed one to me, and she’s a sweetheart, so just for her I’ll crank this one out (I just wanted to use a pun). That doesn’t mean [...]

Only The Good. Relax, Cat.

December 10, 2007

Cats sure know how to relax, don’t they? We had a dreary day this weekend, and I wanted to curl up under my electric blanket. Unfortunately, the cats didn’t want to share the bed! That’s alright. Since I couldn’t sleep, I got some of my work done. Imagine for a moment trying to actually sleep [...]

Even Magic Couldn’t Save It

December 8, 2007

At a conference once, I shared a hotel room with a gal from East Texas. I had never met her before, and I decided she had a really strange habit. It made me gag to watch her every morning as she performed her ablutions. She filled the sink almost full with water each morning. First, [...]

Stands With A Fist

December 6, 2007

For my friend Cathy, She is “like an old lover who refuses to fade into the past.” She sits on the couch and whispers to Cathy in a soft voice. That’s not how She is with me. She‘s like a Blue Norther (a weather experience that any Texan knows) swooping down unexpectedly. Oh, you know [...]

Thursday Thirteen Number 31–Just A Jumble

December 5, 2007

It’s Thursday, and that means THIRTEEN. Thursday Thirteen! This is the day of the week when a group of bloggers post thirteen things about themselves or their interests, and then flit back and forth finding out about each other. I’ve been missing getting to play, because I’ve been all caught up in Share A Square—-and [...]

Time

December 5, 2007

When she handed me her last batch of squares at the Denton Senior Center in October, Kathleen grinned up at me and asked, “Do I need to make any more?” I laughed and told her, “No, ma’am. I think you have done your share.” She nodded, and replied, “I said I would make a hundred [...]

Bah! Humbug!

December 4, 2007

Did y’all hear me screaming in utter and complete frustration?? Listen harder. I’ve been wailing like a banshee for thirty minutes. There is an imp in my computer. A whole host of imps who are conspiring against me, and I’m so mad I could spit. Yesterday, I spent hours taking pictures. I climbed up on [...]

Bragging Rights

December 2, 2007

Did y’all think I got lost in that nasty hotel room in Beaumont? I’m back home now, and hard at work here at the house. That Share A Square Project can be overwhelming! I have tons of work to do for it over the next couple of weeks. I can’t keep up with you folks! [...]
