Wicked Walk 12/17/2014

As I pen this post I find it hard to believe that one week from now you will be reading this and it will be Christmas eve!  I also find it hard to believe that on this very wicked walk I got completely and totally lost.  Now I KNEW where I was in the sense…

I have a Friend.

I have a friend and her name is Amanda.  She is funny, out-going, talented, thoughtful, forgetful and completely adorable.  She is my opposite.  I am neither funny nor outgoing, I am thoughtful (I think), I am not forgetful (although I did forget to go to work one time but that is another post) and I’m…

Cleaning House

Seriously wondering if my super crappy vacuum cleaner is picking up any dirt or paper particles AT ALL.  However, the vacuum marks on the carpet do make it look like I care…….which I do. Once upon a time I scrubbed my floors at least once a week, vacuumed on my way out the door so…

Wicked Walk 12/3/2014

 Today I cleaned my stove.  This in turn made my counter tops look bad.  So I cleaned them, which in turn made the cabinet faces appear rather horrid.  So I cleaned them, which in turn made the appliances, both large and small, seem a bit crusty.  So I cleaned them, which led to a careful…

When you give a teenager cake….

Fact:  When a teenage boy has a birthday is takes .253 seconds to turn a whole cake into half a cake. The ‘homeschool mom’ part of my brain is considering turning this into a fraction lesson for Addie. Maybe, maybe not.  It is Saturday after all and fractions were never my favorite. Happy Birthday Gus,…

Wicked Walk 11/26/2014

My morning was spent delivering pies, cakes and cornbread dressing.  People really are nice to you when you have pies, cakes and cornbread dressing. My afternoon was spent in the forest and it was a perfect day for strolling along and soaking up some sunshine. Here is what I saw. I’m not sure what this…

Awards

I have this thing with technology.  You see, it doesn’t love me.  I recently was able to switch phones and received my first picture text EVER on Wednesday.  However, this lovely purple-clad electronic device knows more about life in 2014 than I do.  And the mere fact I have this blog is a wonder, I…

Washers

I discovered something Thanksgiving day.  I totally, absolutely, undoubtedly am the worst washer player.  Ever.  I found myself comforted somewhat by the fact I was playing with my brother and sister who were almost as bad.  However, I was the lone player who didn’t make a single point the entire game.  I managed to hit…

Stumped

When does a stump become a topless tree?  Is it 6 inches, 12 inches, 2 feet?  Is there some magic, official “stump number” used to determine if the wood qualifies?  I was contemplating this while deer hunting Sunday morning, I found myself seated on an old railroad cross tie behind a dead Sweetgum tree in…

I wonder……

If you eat Banana Pudding at 5:45 in the morning then again at 8:15 followed by another serving at 10:00 is that considered one breakfast?  Or is it breakfast and brunch?  Or maybe breakfast, a snack and THEN brunch?  Or if you eat the same thing each time, in a 4.5 hour block, does it…
