No Blonde Jokes

August 15, 2011

I did something really scary on Saturday. Are you sitting down? I went to a new hairdresser. I’m sure you blokes are laughing now, but for us girls, a new hairdresser is a really, really big deal.  And, not only did I get a new hairdresser, but I got a whole new color.  I woke [...]

Happy Birthday To Grace

Grace's Third Birthday

Yesterday, my baby celebrated her 3rd birthday.  Does this mean we are over the terrible two’s?  I hope so. Our family tradition is to have breakfast in bed on your birthday.  Until Grace came along, the birthday breakfast was always blueberry muffins.  As unbelievable as it sounds, I have given birth to a child who [...]

The Griswalds By Air Are On The Move, Again

June 29, 2011

Our traveling circus is going on tour, yet again.  That’s right folks, I’m Baton Rouge bound.  I can almost taste that good Cajun food.  And, feel the warmth of a Louisiana summer.  And, after soaking that up for a good few minutes, enjoy the blast of air conditioning.  Almost. I’ll catch you on the flip [...]

Perspective

May 20, 2011

A couple of weeks ago, I was trading emails with my BFF’s mom.   I practically grew up in her house, and we have kept in touch through the years.  These days she lives in Kansas. In the emails, we were talking about my blog, this blog.   Then, she told me about a local girl there [...]

My Favorite Thing

May 18, 2011

Many, many years ago now, I was out the door bright and early on a warm Dallas morning  to meet my friend Carol at the park for an early morning run.  Yes, I said run. Stop laughing! It has been long time since I’ve done much running, and I’ve gone a bit wobbly as a [...]

Ten Years

May 5, 2011

Ten years ago today while the Mexicans were celebrating Cinco de Mayo and New Orleans was getting its groove on at the Jazz Fest, The Aussie and I said “I do”. Our wedding was a perfect mix of Aussie and American family, friends and traditions.  21 of The Aussie’s nearest and dearest flew to the [...]

Woe Is Me, Part 2

March 16, 2011

If I had known that karma was going to jump up and bite me on the ass, I would have kept my petty little complaints to myself. You see, after I told you about missing my mom, the giant pimple, and the never-ending laundry, Lizzie woke up at midnight and proceeded to puke all over [...]
