Last weekend while I was enjoying Charleston with several hundred beautiful ladies not cooking dinner, refereeing “discussions” or washing dishes, my Hubby started a little reno project (the first of the whole house). We turned our 2nd living room into a 4th bedroom with a temporary wall, knocked down 2 half-walls (decoration only, not weight…

Last year I was unable to make the Edel Gathering in Austin. But followed along in social media and my favorite blogs and enjoyed it immensely (even got the T-shirt, I was THAT in!). This year worked out and with the Hubby’s blessing, I was able to attend. It’s been a whirlwind few weeks with…

I’m going to confess that I have watched a few Real Housewives in the past. (I even checked into the Khardashians for about 15 minutes and yeah…ummm, I just can’t even.) Pure entertainment from a completely surreal and alternate universe of “real”. They were always amusing until the repetitive catfights. Meow. I mean….I am 45 and…

The merry, merry month of May. Truly it is. The month of Mary. Mother’s Day. My birthday. My sister and nephew’s birthdays. Memorial Day. Graduations. The coming promise of summer. All good stuff.

So I joined the fitbit party. At work we are having a corporate-wide “Eat Right for Life” challenge and since I am already tracking my food (week 1–mostly tracked, definitely an improvement) I thought this would be a good addition. And you might have read my recent post on how I’m not super motivated because…

In the ear. With my thumb nail. Going to give him a hug. It bled. True story. I have also elbowed him in the eye. In bed. Rolling over to give him a hug. Another true story. I have stepped on him while he was icing his back. Tripped over his feet. Mom, you should…

OK. Slept in this a.m. I’m a sore everywhere whiny baby. Slept terribly. Tossed and turned. Hot. cold. Grumpy mama this a.m. But…….the clothes are ready to roll for the a.m. So, bring on Thursday!

Don’t worry, I won’t possibly keep this up daily; but here’s a couple of updates for you. OPI gel polish system: my nails looked great all week, despite only one coat. The tips were wearing off slightly by the end of the week, but overall… Fantastic hold!! Also, regular nail polish remover worked just fine.…

I love cupcakes. And cake. OK. Cookies, too. Total and complete sweet-tooth. If I could live off those 3, I would be ALL. IN. This past week I had my annual physical. You see where this is going, right? Actually, I also had recent labs, mammogram, eye check, teeth cleaned…the whole shebang. And really, the…
