Happy Birthday To My House

By On May 12, 2011 · 2 Comments

I bought a house today! Yes, I really did it. You haven’t heard anything about it because I was so afraid I’d jinx it. We can all breathe now – it’s DONE. It’s also why I’ve been so quiet this month… I wanted to blog, but I was worried that once I started, [...]

Do You Have A Favorite Child?

By On April 27, 2011 · Leave a Comment

My dad does. It’s me. As long as I don’t tell the others. Oops.

I had the GQ Romeo with me this weekend. (That’s Wade, if you’ve forgotten.) I’d call it a mini-vacation, but that might be stretching it… I had him slaving at my office [...]

The Best Day Ever

By On March 25, 2011 · 1 Comment

Took two weeks to write about. Yeah, I’ve been that busy. Haven’t you heard? There are weddings going on around here! And work. And more work. However, that doesn’t mean that I have forgotten one of the best parts of my life, which is: I. Am. A. Big. Sister. No, [...]

My Life Is Busting At The Seams

By On March 4, 2011 · 1 Comment

That is NOT a fat joke, regardless of the fact that my winter clothes may be a little bit bigger than my summer clothes. Haven’t you ever heard of storing up for the winter? Bears do it, at any rate. And when I was younger, there is the slightest chance that I might [...]

Lawyers Are People Too

By On February 20, 2011 · 3 Comments

At least that’s the story I’m telling. I spent this weekend SURROUNDED by lawyers. Voluntarily. Of course, you could make the observation that I also went into my chosen profession - where I am also surrounded by lawyers – voluntarily. So it should hardly be a shock that I might spend [...]

This Fall Was Made For A Love Affair

By On August 21, 2010 · 1 Comment

Yes, you heard me right. This fall was made for a love affair. I’m not talking about the kind of love affair that involves anything hot and heavy – my parents read this blog, after all! Besides, I don’t believe in “hot and heavy” love affairs outside of marriage. Inside of marriage? Heck [...]

Who Needs A Stair Machine?

Why would you want to spend time working out inside when you could wake up and work out on these? Yeah, that’s what I thought. You wouldn’t waste your time inside either. Of course, when it’s freezing, I’ll be back at Scott Fitness where there’s no contract ever, and you [...]

Every Girl Should Have A Girlfriend

By On July 20, 2010 · Leave a Comment

Before you think I’m talking about a “novia,” let me make things clear. I’m talking about an “amiga.” Sometimes Spanish is so much more convenient than English, at least when it comes to defining relationships. For those of you who aren’t Spanish speakers (hey, it’s okay Mom), “novia” means “girlfriend.” Like a romantical [...]

Just Call Me Cinderella

By On May 13, 2010 · Leave a Comment

You know how Cinderella turned into a pumpkin after midnight? You might not remember the story going that way, but that’s how we always told it at our house. Last night, I avoided the whole pumpkin stage and turned into a cheese ball. Well, cheese ROLL would probably be more accurate. Actually, the [...]

Lilacs Are My Favorite Flowers

By On April 18, 2010 · 1 Comment

Except for calla lilies. But calla lilies don’t grow out in Missouri unless they’re in a pot indoors. The last time I tried to grow them, they died. In less than a week. And that was in Las Vegas, where they’re actually SUPPOSED to grow. May the calla lilies [...]
