Blushing From Head To Toe–And Passing It On.

January 25, 2009

I’m as embarrassed as a possum up a plum tree! I always get that way when people say nice things about me. Momma didn’t teach me how to accept compliments, and I’ve never done it well. Last week, in one single day, I was bestowed two different awards (by two of my favorite blogging buddies). [...]

Not Just For Grannies

January 11, 2009

Are you “crafty? I’m not meaning “crafty” in the sense of “sly,” but as in “making crafts?” I may have some links that will inspire you, especially if you are interested in crochet. For the longest while, there were a lot of crafty people coming to visit my blog. They visited because of that Share [...]

If You Have A Y Chromosome, This Is Probably Not A Post For You

January 10, 2009

Have y’all ever been out to eat with a group of people, and find that suddenly all the women get up and go to the bathroom together? A man would never turn to his buddy and say, “Hey, Bob, I’m going to the Men’s Room, you want to join me?” But, women do that kind [...]

In Harmony

January 6, 2009

I visited the blog of my friend Robin, who lives just outside of Tel Aviv in Israel. I’ve been worrying about her since this latest war began, though she assures us she is “safe.”. She begs the question “what is the etiquette for blogging during wartime?” Robin lives in the center of the country, and [...]

A Sandbox With NO Cats!

November 8, 2008

When y’all were little, did you ever go running to play in the sandbox only to discover a “present” the neighborhood cats left for you? Or, maybe worse that the fire ants had moved in and built a city overnight? Playing in the sandbox is great fun until you encounter such trials. I love sand! [...]

Some Thank You’s And An Invitation

October 30, 2008

Isn’t it a huge relief to get home from a trip? I just got home from a pretty grueling road trip to Houston. Mind you, I’m not complaining, because it meant work and a paycheck (Hallelujah!). However that trip has left me with a “full plate” of things to do today, and I’m going to [...]

Pressure Cooker

October 13, 2008

I think I know how Mount St. Helens felt before she ERUPTED! This is after she blew her top, but you get the drift. So much pressure is building and I’m trying to stay calm and centered. Forgive me, but it’s not happening! I’ll tell you about that in a minute. First, let me go [...]

Link Love Again

October 9, 2008

When I first began this blog, I often sent you to view posts by some of my favorite bloggers. Lately, I’ve been remiss. For my 49th Thursday Thirteen, I decided to tell you about some posts I’ve seen that I liked AND about some happenings around my place. I know you are busy trying to [...]

Loose Ends

September 20, 2008

I have a bad habit of telling y’all stories, but never following up to give you the ending. To my perpetual surprise, some of you actually care enough to write and ask. You don’t know how that warms the cockles of my heart. So, I thought I’d tie up some of those loose ends this [...]

But, You Can’t Spell “Mediocre” Without “Me!”

August 17, 2008

When I was in high school (which was too many years ago to count), there were basically four different “crowds” to which a kid could belong. You had your “Popular, Cool Kids,” the “Hippie Freaks,” the “Geeks,” and the “Band Qu**rs” (that’s what we called them in the days before “political correctness,” “The Band Qu**rs,” [...]

Is She Really Bleeding Espresso?

August 11, 2008

I have a delightful friend that I want you to meet. I think you’d really like her. When I first started reading Bleeding Espresso, Michelle Fabio called herself “Sognatrice.” She has since decided to ‘fess up and tell folks her real name (you really can’t hide on the WWW, can you?). Michelle is an ex-patriated [...]

Thursday Thirteen #46: Cholesterol, Crochet, and Country Music

July 31, 2008

No, they don’t have anything to do with each other. However, all are on my mind this week, as well as a lot of other things. I’ve been doing a lot of “pondering and piddling” this week, y’all. I’ve had plenty of time to think, because I’ve been all by my lonesome. I look out [...]

Thursday Thirteen #45. My New “Baby!”

July 10, 2008

It’s Thursday Thirteen time, and I want y’all to be the first to know: I HAVE A NEW BABY! Well, not really a baby. In fact, it’s only a camera. A Canon Rebel XLI. I had to have it finally. And, I have the same problem with it that I have with new babies: I’m [...]

Blogging Award Time

July 7, 2008

I’m headed out to deliver those afghans to Camp Sanguinity today. I thought I’d give you something to do while I’m gone. I’m passing along a blogging award, and I’ll tell you about it (but bragging about me is a yawn). Let me first show you the folks upon whom I bestow the “Arte y [...]

Simple Recipes? A “Meme” Full of Them

July 2, 2008

Though I can cook quite well, I’ve gotten out of the habit of making five course meals. I want in and out of that kitchen as fast as I can. Especially during the July heat in Texas! I’m always looking for simple recipes. There is an interesting “meme” at Rocks in My Dryer called “Works [...]

Br’er Rabbit, He Lay Low

May 27, 2008

Did y’all ever get to hear a storyteller relate a Br’er Rabbit tale? I remember a repetition of the line, “And, Br’er Rabbit, he lay low.” That meant that he was biding his time and waiting for his next mischief. I’ve been doing that for a few days. Actually, I haven’t been “biding time” at [...]

I Think You are Going To Like Alltop.com

April 3, 2008

Do y’all ever go searching for new blogs to read, and flit from blog to blog. Sometimes, you follow commentors. Other times you look at blogrolls. All that work in the quest for something new. You don’t have to do that searching anymore. Have y’all visited Alltop yet? Their motto is “We’ve got all the [...]

Whew! Third post of the day…how do people do this? On top of posting, I’ve been writing contracts all day so I get to eat this summer! Gotta bring home the bacon. Thanks to all of you who participated (or promoted) the This Post Blows My Dress Up Contest! It’s now officially closed, and the [...]
