There Will Be Blood

March 17, 2008

I’m trembling and trying to control my breathing as I prepare to go to Carter Blood Bank to donate platelets later today. My hope is that I will be a match as a bone marrow donor for a young man named Taten Court. He’s part Cree Indian, and finding a match for him has been [...]

Hodge Podge Again

March 14, 2008

This is another one of those posts that I do where anything that pops into my head goes through my fingers to the post. My mind is unable to focus very well right now, because so much is happening in my mundane little world. Life is just steamrolling right over me these days. I’ve been [...]

Manic Monday–What Do I Want?

March 3, 2008

“What do you want?” my husband asks, as my birthday looms on the horizon. “Oh, nothing,” I reply sweetly. My husband is a smart man. He knows that if you ask a woman what she wants and she says, “nothing,” that’s not what she really means. She means, “Think it up yourself, buddy, and it [...]

Thursday Thirteen #36 I’m A Bag Lady

February 7, 2008

Do y’all ever get side-tracked when you go on the internet? I sure do. I just wanted to look up “bags” on the internet, and got all carried away (I’ll tell you why I was looking in a minute). It’s a good thing I can never find my purse, or I’d whup out that credit [...]

Trivial Pursuits

February 4, 2008

Dang! Today was a day when I was all caught up in trivial pursuits. Now, I don’t know if it’s a National Holiday, but according to Holiday Insights it is indeed “Trivia Day.” That website proclaims: It is an opportunity for us to share those many little trinkets of knowledge. It doesn’t matter how big [...]

Scheherazade Complex

January 14, 2008

Some of you may be familiar with The Tales of The Arabian Nights and the storyteller, Scheherezade. If not, let me give you the Reader’s Digest Condensed version of who she was. You see, there was a Sultan who didn’t like women much, because his first wife had done him wrong and had ” R-U-N-N-O-F-T” [...]

The Clean Plate Club

October 26, 2007

Do y’all know a picky eater? I’ve never been a picky eater. Lordy, one look at me will tell you that! I’m a bona fide member of the Clean Plate Club. I’m happy to eat healthy vegetables and fruits, and I love my bacon, too! I’m not fond of “organ” meats, but other than that [...]

All Over The Map

October 16, 2007

Do y’all remember the cartoons with Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner? I’ve been thinking about how that coyote pursued the roadrunner with such a passion. The image in my mind is of the times he ran blindly toward that bird and ran smack dab into a wall (or other obstacle), and slid down to [...]

Manic Monday. “Orange” Means It’s Halloween.

October 1, 2007

“Orange” is the word on this Manic Monday. Mo gives us a word, and we are supposed to be inspired to write. It doesn’t always work! My first thought is of some orange trucks that we have around Denton, Texas, I’ve already told you about Frenchy’s Brand. That leaves me with “Halloween” as my only [...]

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 [...]

Thursday Thirteen Number 26. Scattered

September 6, 2007

I can’t concentrate, so this Thursday Thirteen will be all over the map. Usually, I take great pains to put together something silly, but today I’m just going with the flow, because I’m 1.

A Hodge Podge

August 14, 2007

This is just a jumble of several things that I needed to get said. I thought it would be an easy post to put together, but there are a lot of links. I’m mostly sending you to some of my favorite people, and I hope you like them, too. Don’t you love that picture? Those [...]

Fishing For An Audience

July 27, 2007

I went fishing with my Grandfather one time. One time was all it took for Papaw to decide that I wasn’t the best fishing buddy to have. You see, I didn’t quite “get” the concept. Papaw was one of those men who are uncomfortable around “womenfolk.” He didn’t have much problem with my sister or [...]

I’ve Got My Eye On YOU

July 26, 2007

YIKES! OK, I know that picture is a little scary. Sorry. I just want to get the point across that I’m spending Friday looking at you. I’m reading your blogs. I’m answering comments that have been sitting here for more than a week (so don’t be surprised if you hear from me, at last). I’m [...]

This was supposed to be the week of our “vacation,” and we were planning a trip to Eureka Springs, Arkansas, which is one of our favorite places to visit. However, by the time we discovered that we really got this week, rooms at The Crescent were booked. We considered other hotels, but we discovered there [...]

Before you skip down to read my Thursday Thirteen, I want to offer some quick link love (and I may update it later today). Fourier Analyst is an ex-pat living in the Netherlands with a pre-teen daughter. Since she is relatively new to blogging, she hasn’t yet developed a supportive reader base (but she will!)She’s [...]
