The Reason I Haven't Been Around

for some reason i am completely hooked on facebook lately.

i need an intervention...

i miss my sister...

... why does she have to live in Indiana?
Oh right- sin. It's a powerful thing :)

Love you Bo!!!

Loving the Lack of a Dress Code

Oh, you think my skirt is too short? That's too bad...
You say its makes you uncomfortable? I bet.

I'm modest enough for it to come two inches past my fingertips. It's not my fault I have really short arms.

Today is admin day.
I'm an admin so it's MY day.
I'm wearing the short skirt.
You've been warned.


Have a great Wednesday everyone!!!!

Sunshine and Soil

Mother and I got our hands dirty this afternoon, planting all the pretty little flowers she bought today. We even cranked up the fountain- because a garden is a happy, beautiful, live thing... why wouldn't it want some music???

I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!

Ouch...

Things that happened to me last night:

1. I remembered to water mother's plants 4 days after she left town. They were dead.
2. I realized I am still emotionally needy, and that I can still feel emotionally starved. A lot.
3. I woke up with the worst leg cramp in the entire world (no one needs to yell, "OW!" at 3:25 in the morning unless its because they ran into a wall while leaving a bar).
4. I entered into a heinous text war. It had to happen I guess, but the battle scars are going to be hard to hide today.

But its all right. Its okay.

I'm drinking Starbucks for free today!

Don't forget to grab a free delicious coffee today- on the house!

Two things are guaranteed-

the lines will be impossibly long

and the baristas will not be perky.

Its Been A While... No?

Just thought I'd check in with the blogverse...

I have SO much talk about, but first I'm going to visit a couple of my favorite bloggers to see what's new in their world.
After that it's all about me :)

Happy Birthday, Mr. Bear!

oh, my beautiful bobby! you are a year old today, but you've had my entire heart since the beginning of eternity. i can't imagine my life without you and your sweet, sweet smile.

I LOVE YOU

It Really Does Work

Go read the reviews of the infamous 3 wolf tee-shirt here.
The people who are saying it has changed their life... I believe them.




This guy is the evidence.

Father's Day is just around the corner.

I highly recommend getting your dad one of these if you want to be the best child ever.

It Is Impossible to Have a Bad Day When This Happens...

I hope you are all having an amazing Tuesday!

One Of My Favorite Days...

Sometimes...

even work can be fun!

The Webb Tragedy

If you live in Knoxville, then you've probably seen or read the coverage regarding Erik and Sara Webb.

This is not a post to defend Erik, in any way, for what he did. It was absolutely senseless- the horrible act of a sick and desperate man.

But even though what he did was indefensible, I stand by this conviction- he was a good man. His kindness and generosity were always so evident to those who knew him, and anyone that had even one conversation with him knew how much he loved his children.

No, his actions were wrong- so wrong there are no words for it. But he was a friend, and I still think of him as such.

I am shocked and heartbroken.

Please pray for the family and friends of Erik and Sara, who will never be able to understand why this happened.

In Memoriam

These heroes are dead. They died for liberty - they died for us. They are at rest. They sleep in the land they made free, under the flag they rendered stainless, under the solemn pines, the sad hemlocks, the tearful willows, and the embracing vines.

~Robert G. Ingersoll

I Laughed So Hard I Snorted...

...when Raina told me that, not only did she buy a tiara for her wedding day, but that she wore it around the house all day.

Even Knoxville Rocks

Be sure to check out Tara under "You Must Love Them Too" to see her Dixie Pixel blog. She took pictures of my friends, Adam and Amanda, on their wedding day- and I've been slightly crazy (seriously, almost stalkerish- on her blog) about her ever since.
If a lobotomy is ever performed and I decide to tie the knot again, she's the one I'm going to!

It is, in fact, possible to spend hours and hours looking through her amazing pictures... I know this for a fact:)

Have a fantastic Friday!

How Strange It Is...

... that sometimes when grasping for the right words console a friend, you end up saying the very thing that is a comfort to yourself.

And even stranger that you didn't know it hurt in the first place.

Reason I ♥ My Parents #347

Stepfather: Do you like the pork sauce?
Me: I don't know, it tastes funky
Stepfather: Don't say that word at the dinner table!
Me: No, funky. Funky! Fun-ky. Like Funky Cold Medina
Stepfather: Funky coumadin? I've had some funky coumadin...

Mother: I think we need to start doing activities together. I've signed us up for a couple of classes.
Me: What kind of classes?
Mother: Garden Club and shooting practice at the Gun Club.
Me: Of course. That makes perfect sense.
Mother: Don't get smart with me. A pretty garden is just as important as learning to protect yourself.

My life would be absolutely boring without them...
