Project 365: Week 2
I can’t believe we’re in week 2 and I haven’t missed a day yet. Not gonna lie, finding inspiration while in quarantine was incredibly hard. Now that I’m out and can get around, I’m hoping to take a few more creative shots. 008 My girls: Lola and Bleu. 009 Because I need something for today… 010 When the kids were little, we used to have Cupcake Day. We would pick random days to go out for gourmet cupcakes. Or, sometimes if they had a bad day, they’d say “Mom, I need Cupcake Day.” Now that they’re all grown and out of the house, we still have Cupcake Day. It’s a…

Project 365: Week 1
Hey, y ‘all, hey! How’s your 2023 so far? I started mine with Covid. After a week of quarantine, I’m on the upward swing — I’m so happy. Fortunately, I didn’t have to deal with a fever or anything, but I was extremely tired and achy. I also had stomach issues and light headedness. That part seems to be subsiding faster than the lethargy and achiness. Towards the end of last year, I started thinking very seriously about attempting another 365 project {a photography project where you take a picture every day for a year}. I’ve tried before and failed, but this is a big year for me. I turn…

Y’all, when I say 2023 is already off to a bumpy start, I’m not kidding. I spent part of New Year’s Eve in the ER because my oxygen levels dipped courtesy of Covid. If I’ve ever wondered how my family would fare should I take seriously ill, I know they’ll be OK. The Hubs rushed…

How are y’all doing? I’m doing well. We’re at the break in our term, so I can breathe. A little bit. We’re still working on our SACS accreditation so it’s not a real break. Still, it’s better than nothing. That being said, I do plan to spend some of my down time crocheting another sweater.…

I would drape myself in velvet if it were socially acceptable. There are very few things that George Costanza said on Seinfeld that I’d agree with, but that single line so accurately sums up my feelings about velvet that I could’ve written it.
