I don’t know about y’all but I grew up in one of those households where kids and parents had a “distant” relationship. We knew that our parents loved us but we weren’t what you’d call “friends.” There was respect and a healthy amount of fear(I think my mom had eyes in the back of her…

Shoes can affect your personality and your mood. Have you ever noticed how putting on a pair of sneakers makes you feel shlumpy? But putting on a pair of stilettos makes you feel sexy? When I received that postcard from a friend, I was going through a difficult time in my life ~ I wasn’t…

Day 4: My Favorite Books
When I was a little girl, my favorite place in the world was the library. I was a nerdy little girl who was often the object of a lot of teasing and the butt of endless jokes, and the library was the one place the bullies never seemed to enter. The librarian, Mr. Wolford, would…

Day 2: My Favorite Movies (Again, I Can’t Pick Just One)
I’m not a big movie person. I blame it on my ability to become totally distracted by anything shiny. Seriously, I have the attention span of a squirrel. But that being said, there are a few movies that will make me stop whatever it is that I’m doing and become totally engrossed in the story.…
Coffee Bars in the High School

Day 1: My Favorite Songs (I Can’t Pick Just One)
I love music, unfortunately, I’m not very musically inclined. Well, except when I’m in the car ~ then I turn up the radio and totally rock out to some of my favorite songs. Sometimes, if I’m really “feeling it” I’ll pull over on the side of the road and try to force the kids to…
All About Me in 30 Days
I know I’ve said this before but I heart memes. I know not everyone likes them but I do because they give me the chance to learn something new about people or discover new bloggers, twitterers (woo, is that a word?), etc., so I participate in them whenever I can or whenever I see one…
