A super duper fast way to pot an orchid, and a Keepin’ It Real photo confession.

September 1, 2011 19 Comments

I’ve mentioned previously how much I love orchids. I don’t have a Brown Thumb, per se, but it isn’t exactly a Green Thumb either.   People are often under the impression that orchids are a pretty delicate flower… hard to grow… easy to kill… Not. True. They’re cheap. In my experience, I’ve found that Trader Joe’s […]

April 27, 2011 20 Comments

The ladies behind Seriously Shawn, Dandelion Wishes, Confessions of an Impulsive Addict and The Johanson Journey   have started a series of weekly questions to answer.  I appreciate that it is on Wednesday… the day I am most likely to be up to my eyeballs in laundry and have forgotten to make dinner. This week’s questions: […]

Take my kid. Please.

OK. So I have THAT kid. It’ll pass. Right? Homework is a chore. He created a ruckus in kindergarten. He doesn’t listen. Grant has been “put on contract” with his 1st grade teacher. What that means is that he keeps being silly in class and disturbing others in the class. (Mainly his teacher.) A good […]

Prince Charming was late… but he eventually showed up.

Don’t tell him I said this, but I am the luckiest girl in the world to be married to my husband. There is no one else on the planet who “gets me” the way that this wonderful man does. We just fit… and we balance each other so well. He’s an amazing man. Watching him […]

Chicken breasts.

September 27, 2009 26 Comments

I went to a charity fundraiser with my friend Jodi last night. We got dressed up…   we put on make-up…   I spent more than an hour actually drying and styling my 45 pounds of hair…   We were lookin’ good. Upon arrival, we headed (immediately) to the bar and each got a glass of wine.   We […]

My Prom? Just like “Carrie” but without the pig blood.

May 4, 2009 20 Comments

This is a story of my Senior Prom and how much it sucked.  It’s long, but at the end of this post you’ll be glad you weren’t my date. Let me just say on the front end of this story that I was practically able to laugh about most of this while it was happening. […]
