Christmas and Gram
It’s been 9 years since we lost Gram, and sometimes I feel that loss as sharp as the day I took the call from the hospital. Christmas is always one of those times. Gram loved Christmas, not fo...
Catching up - lots of pics
It’s been a long week or so of being sick (a head/chest cold that just won’t let go). I no longer sound like Minnie Mouse and sound more like Kermit the Frog now. I’m better, just well yet. Th...
NoJoMo9
Today’s prompt is about your secret desire. Mine has shifted some, over the years. But it’s always circled around a central idea - to become a photographer. For me it’s always about nature. I’ve ...
NoJoMo 6 & 7
The biggest lie I’ve ever told is . Is there anything you feel guilty about? Is there anything you need to be forgiven for? I don’t know about biggest lie, because I usually don’t make big lies -...
NoJoMo - Catching up
Well, I blew the picture entries, lets see if I can hang with NoJoMo. I am going to catch up in this entry and then do the day by day. If you are looking for their diary it’s at: https://www.pr...
OctoPho - Oh no!
Man, I stink at posting lately. It just seems by the time I get home and get everything done, it’s time for bed. Basically, I suck. I do have a couple of pictures. I HATE posting pictures of ...
Quick hello
Today was my 2nd day of my “fall break” - which translates to getting the first couple of days of hunting season off. lol I don’t hunt, but I have enjoyed the break! Even better, I made sure I ...
Well that was dumb of me...
I’m always surprised at how long it’s been since I’ve written. I promise it’s not because I don’t want to, or because I’m living some whirlwind life. lol I’m amazed that we are already sending h...
Meet the kids
My traditional back to school entry. I’m ashamed that it’s almost a 6 weeks in. This year is FLYING! CB - a sweet girl, with some great parents. Always a nice addition! JB - sigh this girl.... I ...
School
I don’t know why it’s so hard for me to come in and write an entry. :( I come in often to read y’all, I just don’t write. (Ok, so I know that part of it is, that to write I have to come in her...
Babysitting a bear
I got a call Thursday asking me to volunteer at the zoo to watch the new Andean (Spectacled) Bear, Manny. I explained that I had removed myself from training last year for personal reasons, so I...
Homes 1 and 2
My classroom is getting there. I'm going back tomorrow, but will be getting ready for a presentation that I got suckered into on Tuesday. (Presenting 4 sessions at a technology conference. I w...
New Orleans
I was only there a couple of days and I really didn't get to explore much. The hotel was very nice: (I don't usually take bathroom pictures, but a dual shower head, great pressure, and lots of ...
And I'm Off Again
I'm headed to New Orleans tomorrow. I love that place (for short visits). It's gorgeous and has so much history and culture. It can also be freaky scary, more so lately. (I'm NEVER out at nig...
Houston Trip #2
And, just over a week later - I was back in Houston. lol It was a really busy and eventful week. I'm so glad I got to go. Between budget issues and the fact that I'm from Louisiana (and they l...
Houston Trip #1
Since I never posted about it, I figured I should share about the short trip I took with my Mom and Cbaby. We had a good trip over, at least until we hit traffic in Houston. It was pretty bad a...
Still here
I can't believe how long it's been since I've written. I've pretty much kept up with everyone's diaries, just haven't written here. I just got back from a weeklong workshop at NASA and it was ama...
It 2:50 A freaking M
And I'm awake....just wanted to let y'all know that. I always hit this point every summer. I don't sleep. I'm exhausted, but I don't sleep. I don't sleep late. I just stay up forever. Dum...
Another loss
It seems like all my entries lately are sad or mad. I guess that's the only time I seem to make myself sit down and write. I'm working at a fishing camp this week. Two of my kids came, I was s...
In shock
I was skimming facebook while I talked to Bubba tonight. He’s headed out on the 12 hour drive to his new job tonight and I’m his traditional chat buddy on these long drives. When he gets tired ...
Catching up
I keep coming here to write and I don't. I read and note, but never seem to get anything written. It's been summer vacation for just over 2 weeks and it's been pretty hectic. I'm just going to ...
Stars
I saw them - or spots - or flashes of light, whatever you want to call them. I had stopped at a gas station to grab a drink for a long drive south. I had gotten to our meet up point a couple of...
Some people....
I need to do my traditional end of year entry, and I will, but right now Cbaby is with me, so I'm going to keep it short. I really am writing to vent. I make no secret about how I feel about my...
The Tree
Lots to tell, but going in too many directions to write a proper entry right now. For now, here's the pictures I promised of the tree that finally fell.
The weekend
There was a lot going on this weekend, but I'll tell most of the story in pictures. (Which means I have a lot of pictures and I'm just too lazy to type it all out right now. lol Saturday was Cba...
Book Description
When I first started over here I had titled it Just in Case. Just in Case OD closed. I guess it’s time to get rid of the idea of “Just in case.” and just move on with Life.
