…Being So Close

Friday after work a friend and I headed to the local fairgrounds to hear some good ol’ country music. If you see my updates on Twitter, you know that it was Rascal Flatts. I have actually seen them twice before, once at the same fairgrounds. However, last time I was sitting back there:
(see the lawn [...]

Ninja kicks and cheese sticks

Whew! I can’t believe I haven’t posted in days! Even with two weeks off work, it doesn’t seem like enough time. My mom and I just got back last night from visiting my brother and his family in the Vegas area. Of course, you will all be subjected to those pictures later! Another great part [...]

The Glory of Christmas

Whew! It has been busy here in Southern California since I got home. I got in late Friday night, and my mom and I spent all day Saturday shopping. We were really looking forward to a relaxing Sunday afternoon after church.
I should say that my mom is a teacher. Growing up it was a mixed [...]

How nice am I?

I am taking someone to the airport at 5:20 tomorrow morning. Saying I am not a morning person is putting it VERY mildly.
Normally it would just be a drop and run, but my friend is pregnant and her suitcases are heavy. I will actually have to get out of the car. I just hope airport [...]

Palm trees and Christmas trees

A bunch of us went out to dinner for a friend’s birthday and I took a few pictures of the Chirstmas decorations around town.
These two are two of my favorites because I took them in the exact same spot, I just focused the camera a little differently (first on the Christmas tree, second on the [...]

the key to fun

Last weekend, some friends and I took a little road trip down to the Keys. By little road trip, I mean it took us about 5 hours to get to our destination. It reminded me of a trip I took my freshman year of college. A friend and I drove to Colorado to celebrate the [...]

South (Pole) Pacific

Saturday night I went to a college performance of South Pacific. Because it is South Florida, and because it hardly ever gets cold here, (and because they don’t actually have a theater to perform in), the show was outside.
This part week, however, a cold snap has hit the area. The show did not start until [...]

Celebrating d-bloggers

When I was a kid, I didn’t know a single diabetic. There wasn’t a single one in my family, no one at my church or my school, and none of the kids in the neighborhood. It wasn’t until my grandma was diagnosed when I was around 10 that I had any personal experience with diabetes.

not often enough

Long time blog followers know that my sweet little (14 lb) kitties don’t live with me right now. They are in (what I like to call) foster care with a friend from work.
Sadly, she had to go out of town due to a death in the family and needed someone to cat sit.
Of course, [...]
