I know I have raved about my Mamie's brownies before, but seriously...they are The Best. You can not mess them up, no matter what you do. Believe me, I have tried. I have added everything out of order. I haven't beaten the eggs beforehand. I never sift the dry ingredients together. And each batch? Purrrrrrfection.Lately, [...]

A rambling list of new things.
So I gave up on last week's New Thing and have moved on to a New, New Thing.Just kidding. But really, I know you want to know how the New Thing is progressing. Fine and dandy, actually. I'm not here to chat about that this morning, however. Today...a list. Just for you, Di.1. Beach week [...]
A mother-daughter afternoon.
I noticed today that I have been complaining that come August...2014...when we return from Radford University after dropping The Wild Boy off for his first semester of his first year of college...I keep complaining that I won't be "an empty-nester."I will share a secret with you. I don't want to be an empty-nester. Yet. Maybe [...]

Happy Birthday, Goose! I can not believe you are turning 16. Sixteen years...but wasn't it just yesterday that...I threw up in the kitchen sink after opening the can of green beans...thus confirming that yes, I was indeed pregnant. Philip was exactly 3 months old at this time. When I got the call from the doc's [...]
And he was like…and she was like…and then I did this dance…
