santa or satan

Shannon Mckelden admitted in her comments to me that she hates being Santa.
I must admit, she’s not alone. I haven’t been a big fan of playing Santa. The whole keeping secrets thing, false hope thing, disappointment when Santa had no money and couldn’t even afford the lump of coal for your sock thing….
Not to mention [...]

i was naïve, okay?

My mother was in 1st grade when she found out about Santa. It still amazes me that she opened up a dictionary and looked him up. “A mythical character…” yup. So then she looked up the word mythicial…and sees the word “imaginary”.
This from a 6 year old. And she is still the least romantic and [...]

kink

Not kinky. Kink. As in, I’ve got a kink in my back. Which I suppose could be kinky if you’re into you know, pain, but I’m not. Cuz I don’t like this kink thing at all. It does not hurt so good.
I thought it was my arthritis at first. (Yeah, yeah, save the [...]

english tea

I’m a coffee girl. I heart waking up to a brewing pot o’ joe. The only thing that makes waking to the smell of coffee better in the morning is waking to the smell of coffee brewing alongside the smell of breakfast cooking.
Yesterday I used the last of the coffee. I made a mental note [...]

my date with peaches

Once upon a time, I tinkered with photography.
It seems my inner artist misses taking pictures. So, when I asked Peaches out on for our Artist’s Date, she requested I bring a camera.
Here are some of my favorite pictures from our walk:
The plants are confused about whether it’s spring or fall. My trumpet vine and roses [...]

meet peaches

Barbara Samuel suggests we creative types should take our inner artist out on a date. An Artist’s Date is basically a method to refill the well.
God, my well needs refilling.
Today, I’m gonna wine and dine my inner artist. (Her name is Peaches, btw.) Okay, frankly, I’m not gonna wine and dine her. I’ve tried that…she’s [...]

Well, the battle of the boot is over and sadly, my little piggies are shoeless.
We have bookend losses for the season. A record of 12-2 is nothing to sneeze at. I just wish we woulda played a better game today.
That’s okay, cuz we’re still playing the Gators next week for the SEC Championship. I’ll [...]

battle of the boot.

Go Hogs!
at 1:30 CST, my little piggies will face LSU Tigers in Little Rock, AR. How I wish I could be there…
But I’m not, so I’ll just watch the battle of the boot from the comfort of my couch while I stuff my face with leftovers.
Woooooooooo Pig Soooooooooie!

mmmmmmmmm

Wow. I couldn’t have asked for a better day. (other than someone doing the cooking for me… but then, if that had happened, would it have been as good? I think not.) We had 20 people at our house. 20! And it was a lovely day.
4 of the 20 were vegetarians, so I fixed some [...]
