Every day life away from the business
I’m currently on my couch. This is a step up, from my bed, where I have been living for the past 3 days. Why would I live in my bed for 3 days? Oh, that’s easy. I have been fending off death. NBD*. I have been bored out of my mind since Thursday, when I…
Now that I live in The Boot, I would be remiss if I didn’t discuss hurricane season. That is, June 1-November 1, with the heart of the season ranging from about August 15-the end of September(ish). And I have been paying attention to Tropical Storm Claudette, which is set to hit the Florida panhandle pretty…
All of my blog posts now come complete with a signature as the end. Cool, huh? I took the idea from Audra, a scrappin’ buddy of mine. For the record, the below is my ever-popular ‘initial signature’, used to initial the paper that bundled large piles of bills I would take into my drawer in…
I kinda want to steal this idea for my wedding someday. Dad, starting practicing now. I bet the reception was one hell of a good time.

My new fav word is vacay. As in what I just took, that found me in Destin, Florida. Destin might also be my new favorite place. It was incredibly relaxing and while I have been on some pretty stellar vacations before (Hawaii and my multitude of baseball trips come to mind) this one was probably…
Today was my big day on the river. I had been looking forward to it all week and rightfully so. What’s not to like about floating in an inner tube when a chest of ice cold beverages and snacks tethered to the aforementioned tube? Well the thought of water moccasins might do it but not…
Dear middle-aged white woman with a big, 80’s-style Texas perm, Thank you for rolling the stop sign and almost t-boning me in the parking lot at the grocery store just now. I could see how it would have been my fault, since I’m in the driver of a dark-colored vehicle and it was dusk. Clearly,…
I’m in Hattiesburg this weekend. I hadn’t ever pictured myself having a need to travel to Hattiesburg until I realized Southern Miss is in our conference. The only thing I ever knew about Southern Miss is that I’m pretty sure it’s Brett Favre’s home town. We arrived yesterday and played our game. It ruled. Our…
