My husband and I were married 11 March 1995 by the Justice of the Peace. It was a very small wedding ~ my parents, my younger sister and our friends, Scott and Yvette. Our two~year~old daughter was also in attendance. She spent the entire ceremony trying desperately to get my […]

Have you ever had a cup of coffee that was so good that you had to pull your car over, close your eyes and just savor the moment? I did. Tonight. I was on my way home from grocery shopping with Miss 15 when, on a whim, I decided to […]
Whew! Thank you for sticking with me this far. You guys are awesome!
I actually have two songs that can bring me to tears at the drop of a hat: Troubles of this World and Here I am to Worship. Troubles of this World, sung by Mahalia Jackson during the funeral scene in my favorite movie, Imitation of Life. It was also my […]
A while back, I was sent a pair of Isotoner smarTouch Gloves to review and I have to say, they worked just as promised. I was able to use my Droid, pump gas, use the ATM, etc all while keeping my fingers nice and warm. Dude, I don’t know what […]

My dream house is the house that I’m living in right now. My husband and I lived with my mother~in~law for 6 and half years before we found the right house for our family. That may seem like we were incredibly picky but we weren’t ~ we have four kids […]
When I was a kid, my favorite place in the world was the library. I would wander the shelves for hours until I discovered just the right book to take me away. Usually it was one of the Nancy Drew Mysteries or, when I got a little older, something by […]
I guess if I had to pick one non~fiction book that had the most profound affect on me it would have to be The Autobiography of Malcolm X by Alex Haley and Malcolm X. The first time I read it I think I was about 13 or 14 years old […]
I love makeup. Specifically, I love Bare Escentuals makeup because it gives me a flawless face with natural coverage. And don’t get me started on the glosses (my fave is a Buxom called “Dani” ~ a purply pink)… Moving on, ’cause this isn’t a post about Bare Escentuals, but if […]
Hmmmm….. I’m not really certain what I’m supposed to write about here. This is such a broad topic. Should I write about a fictional book that I hated or loved? One that was life changing for me? A book that I could have gone my whole life without reading? *sound […]
Ha! This is an easy one. I’m hyper~organized. I used to be in the Army and one of the first things they drilled into my head was organization ~ socks, tees, undies, they all had to be folded/rolled up so they were the same length as a dollar bill. I […]
I’ve worked in an academic setting for quite a while now and during the course of my years as an instructor and librarian, I’ve come across a variety of students ~ those who are in college to get an education, those who are in college because Mom and Dad said […]
