I have always been a hoarder collector of fine things stuff. I love knick knacks. I love collections of anything: buttons, ornaments, seashells, dishes, books (oh my word...the books!). If an emotional and/or family attachment is added to it...I will hold on for dear life.As you can imagine, the above addiction leads to clutter. Lots [...]

So I'm stepping back to punt.we (Wild Boy and I) both fell back asleep this morning. ugh.he was late to school, grumpier than usual and I have mommy-guilt out the wazoo.and it's drizzling.it's already 8:25 [...]

Continuing from the discussion on facebook...http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=524072574, so y'all don't think I've completely gone to the dark side I'll share my lunch dilemma with you. I had this for breakfast. An Amazing Meal, by Amazing Grass. Here is the link. It really wasn't that bad. I used lactose-free milk (I had it and wanted to use it up. [...]

I spent three hours online shopping last night. Nothing beats shopping from the comfort of my own home. Everyone around me hates the early arrival of Christmas in the stores and on television. I have always loved it. The Christmas music, the lights, the decorations, the parties, the food, the gifts (I am all about [...]

1. I just scarfed down a full plate of broccoli and beef, dumplings and crunchy noodles. And I stopped myself from eating another. Why is it that when I was a teenager and in my early twenties, I stopped eating under stress and duress; I would actually lose weight. Then I hit 25 and am [...]

I woke up thinking there was no way I could spend another day away from my home.The house was a wreck. The laundry was piled up. Christmas Tree needles scattered about. A dishwasher full of dirty dishes. Boxes everywhere. So after church and lunch, Shawn brought me back home while Russell, Mike, Brett and William [...]

I hope to take a break today. Not sure it is in the schedule, however. No sleep last night has made This Girl a tad grumpy. Especially coming down the stairs this morning and seeing this...But then, after grabbing my coffee, I headed into the living room and saw/smelled this... And then I remembered I took [...]
