Hitting publish is my therapy. I’ve tried screaming into a pillow. I’ve tried talking to my husband. Tried talking to my best friend. I’ve tried crying. But for some odd reason nothing works like hitting publish for me. This will be scattered. This probably won’t make a lot of sense. But it will let me … Continue reading
Kevin and I were kids when we met. 19 and 21. I recall nervously twirling my straw paper at dinner and finding myself in disbelief that I landed myself such a hottie. We were total opposites at the time. I wore a black skirt, white shirt and a red fleece, sweater vest thing, and … Continue reading
It’s been one hell of a year, hasn’t it? If you’ve stuck with me, I am grateful beyond words. If you read all of this, I am grateful beyond words. I had a mini melt down with my Stend (I’m Befri and she’s Stend – a combination of best friend) yesterday and told her part … Continue reading
A younger friend of mine (mid 20s) recently asked if I could meet up with her to offer some advice. “Advice?” I thought, “What kind of advice can I offer someone? I’m only…30.” I haven’t met up with her yet, but it has been on my mind non stop. I’ve been racking my brain as … Continue reading

Not just because of my miscarriage, but because this is the year I’ve realized just … Continue reading
Kevin and I had a GLORIOUS weekend celebrating his cousin’s wedding in Athens, Georgia. We made an event out of it and stayed an extra night to just reconnect and have a mini vacation. I rushed home from work on Friday, bot not without picking up a new shirt from Target and some Quest Bars. … Continue reading
My favorite part of Christmas is giving gifts. I love the reaction on people’s faces. I love the amount of time and thought I put into each gift. I rarely give a thoughtless gift and am troubled by it when I do. I come from a family of givers. Both of my parents have always … Continue reading
I had my post-operation visit last Thursday. The Pathology report came back to show that there were no genetic/parental issues and this was a true chromosomal fluke. We should be good to go in the future. Talk about a relief! The Doctor said to spend the next 6 or so weeks doing whatever makes me … Continue reading
My nephew requested a Batman cake for his birthday so I took it as an opportunity to do some stacking and fondant covering since I havent before. It’s a homemade stacked vanilla/white & chocolate cake with a neon yellow buttercream and homemade marshmallow fondant. All in all – I am quite pleased with my result.
Oh Thanksgiving – what have you done to me? You’ve left me a bloated, hungover, over fed, and a full full mess. Kevin and I took the week off of work and had a “staycation” that involved copious drinking and eating. It was delightful. I cook. I cook well. I cook healthy well and I cook … Continue reading
