I need a caffeine infusion STAT. Anyway, I’m gonna make this quick… I’ve been thinking about getting another tattoo. I have one…

Hi, how are you? How was your weekend? We didn’t do much. We enrolled Bleu in a training class, so we’re staying near the house for the next few weeks so she doesn’t miss a class. She did really well her first day, but she came home and immediately fell asleep. Poor thing.

How are y’all doing? Things here have been incredibly busy. This was the first week of classes, so there’ve been the usual hiccups that come along with. I’ve spent all week visiting the different campuses (we have 8) to take pictures and meet the students. I’m the only librarian for all 8 campuses, so travel is part of the job. The fun part is that I get to take pictures of the students for our…

Bleu Wednesday: Her Story
unedited. Nikon D7500 | 15mm | f/5 | 1/125 | ISO – 1000 Sunday, 18 August 2019, 7:40:00 AM edited. Do you remember Wordless Wednesday? It was a big thing when I first started blogging a bizillion light years ago. Bloggers would simply post a picture on Wednesdays. No words. No descriptions. Just a picture. It was a way to practice our photography and update our blogs without the stress of having to come up with full blown content. But, mostly, it was a way to connect and share a moment in our lives. I miss those days. The days before everyone was focused on monetization and accumulating follows.…

Friday Favorites: Insomnia and Color ID
Happy Friday, everyone! I hope y’all had a great week. Mine was exhausting. I go through bouts of insomnia, where I start to exist on about 3 or 4 hours of sleep per night and then after a week or so, my body just crashes. I’ve been this way for as long as I can remember. It’s because I have a hard time turning off my brain… Do you have that problem too? How do you deal? Have you read this post by Debbie at Fashion Fairy Dust? She shared some links to childhood memories and oh my word I couldn’t stop giggling. Kids today have no idea what they’re…

Throwback Thursday: First Snow
I think this picture was taken around 1976ish. My little sister looks like she’s about a year old, and she was born in 1975. We were living in Texas at the time and it was our very snow. You can tell because we’re wearing lightweight jackets. Mom said we were a little puzzled but we enjoyed it. I wish I’d taken pictures of my kids the first time they saw snow. We were living in Pennsylvania at my mother-in-law’s house, and the kids were all gathered around the window, pointing excitedly. When they saw me, they exclaimed: “Milk, Mommy, milk!” I hollered. Enjoy your weekend, Follow Living…

Friday Favorites: Aging Gracefully and Shopping While I Do It
Happy Friday, everyone! I hope you’ve had a great week. Things here have been busy, but in a good way. I think. LOL We’re gearing up for the beginning of the Fall Semester at the college, so things are starting to get exciting. Not only is a new semester starting, but our campus is relocating downtown. We’re all pretty excited. I cannot wait to see the new library. I’ve seen the mock ups, but seeing the real thing? That’s beyond! Anyway, this is my first time joining up with Friday Favorites… I’m supposed to share five of my favorite things from this week. So, here we go: I enjoyed…
