Hi, it’s been a crazy stressful week. The Hubs is back in Pennsylvania taking care of his parents – his dad is dealing with the side effects of his cancer treatments and his mother was recently diagnosed with stomach cancer. It’s all so overwhelming. Keep them in your prayers. I have a thing for monkeys, so when I saw this little guy in the window, I just had to take his picture. I really needed the smile. Did you know…

This week has been the longest month ever. Monday was a nice day off. We didn’t do too much of anything, but Tuesday? I broke my glasses. Y’all, I cannot see a thing without my glasses. It’s not like I was doing anything rough. I. Was. Cleaning. Them. And they snapped in half. Fortunately, I keep all of my old glasses whenever I get a new pair {I can’t give them my glasses because I need to see} so I…

Friday Favorites: Long Weekends and Good Music
This post contains affiliate links. If you purchase anything using those links I may receive a small commission at no extra charge to you. Thank you for supporting my hobby. Hey, hey, hey! So we made it to the weekend. And it’s a long one too? All the praise hands. The Hubs and I are visiting my family in Mississippi for a few days, so that explains why my “Friday Favorites” is a “Saturday Selections”. Uhhhh, that was the best I could do on ONE cup of coffee. I need a caffeine infusion STAT. Anyway, I’m gonna make this quick… I’ve been thinking about getting another tattoo. I have one…

Friday Favorites: Just Rambling

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…

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…

Welcome, Bleu Chrys! Our Rescue Pup!
Hi, I’d like for y’all to meet Bleu Chrys. Isn’t she adorable? She’s a 13 month old Terrier mix and she has already stolen our hearts. If you’d like to see more of Bleu on Instagram, follow her hashtag #BleuChrys. It sounds so trite to say that our rescue rescued us, but she really did. Like I said on Instagram, the month of July was a hard one for me: my friend and coworker passed away unexpectedly and Squeekerz had to be put to sleep the morning of my friend’s funeral. Two big blows in the space of two weeks’ time. And I was also dealing with some personal things…

Getting to Know Cenla: A Visit to the Melrose Plantation
Remember last weekend I said that I was stepping out of my comfort zone and going to a photography class? Well, I never made it to the class because I got lost. However, I did end up at this really interesting historic site called the Melrose Plantation. When I arrived, a tour was about to start, but I decided to wait and return with The Hubs. We went back yesterday and I was able to take a few pictures. One thing to note about the Melrose Plantation is that you cannot take any photos inside the main buildings and the roof of the “Big House” was being repaired, so there’s…
