An Egg is Not a Baby
Raise your hand if you remember getting an egg to carry around for a week during sex ed. looks around Yep, I did too. I also remember being a little put off because my egg wasn’t ethnically correct, so I took some crayons and markers and turned my little white egg into a little multi~culti oval shaped facsimile of me. Lemme tell ya, that’s not easily done when you’re a high yellow glasses wearing braces having freckle faced black chick, but I digress. For one week, Little Egglivia (See what I did there?) went everywhere with me. I dressed her in a little tissue diaper, slept with her nestled on…

Work It! Express Business Suits
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Express for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Nearly ten years ago, I remember getting ready for one of my first job interviews, everyone kept telling me that I needed to get a black suit. Inwardly I cringed. I was so not a suit girl. I always felt like a little kid playing dressing up. But I bought a basic black skirt suit with a white blouse and sturdy black pumps. The only jewelry I wore was a watch and my wedding set. Yikes. I sat at my interview, fidgeting and tugging at my jacket, wishing that my skirt…

Who Has Two Thumbs, Is Pretty Cool and Has the New Facebook Timeline?
This girl. Yep, I took the plunge and decided to give the new Facebook Timeline a whirl. As much as I complain about the changes to Facebook and as much as I hate waking up to find that ol’ Zuckerberg has tweaked the settings, I admit to being perversely curious about the new Timeline format. To get the new Facebook, I followed the directions provided here by TechCrunch. I have to say, just from my initial look~see, I like it. A lot. I like being able to look over my history and see where I was, who I was with and what I was doing at any given time. I…

Yarn Along
I enjoy crocheting. I find it therapeutic. I think I’ve said this before… But I also love the idea of taking a ball of yarn and turning it into something ~ a cozy scarf, a colorful flower, a snuggly blanket… Wearing something that I made with my own two hands brings me joy and a sense of satisfaction that few other things can. This week I started crocheting a gray mesh scarf using that I found here at Lilibeth’s Garden. I adore the airy look of the scarf and have made similar ones before in various yarns. This time I decided to use a weightier yarn to make the scarf…

How I Met My Husband
The year was 1994, and I was a sweet, innocent little soldier stationed at Fort Polk, Louisiana, about to celebrate my 2nd year in the Army. This is my story, I can tell it any way that I like, just rest assured that what I’m telling you is the whole truth. Anyway, I was sitting in the personnel office updating some paperwork, when I see these two guys in a separate part of the office looking at me. I acknowledged them and kept on talking. And by acknowledged, I mean, I glared at them and shifted in my chair because they were staring at me. So I finished my business,…
