It just keeps coming!

We’re trapped like little rats! The roads are covered in 2 feet of snow. And it keeps coming! Angelina is making gumbo. I’m wrapping presents. Sarah is addressing Christmas cards. And so far I’ve enjoyed two bowls of Peanut Butter Crunch. I wonder if they’re gonna cancel church tomorrow!! We’ve been listening to Christmas musicContinue reading “It just keeps coming!”

Good Morning Snow!

Remember the deck last night? If not–look here. Well Good Morning World! Isn’t it pretty? I’m so glad I stocked up on Peanut Butter Crunch Cereal. I’ll send more pics as the day progresses because it is still falling down like crazy! I just hope the power doesn’t go out.

Fun Times in Single Land

In order to feel like I’m “out there” trying–I joined an online dating site. This site is specifically for LDS singles. There are times where I don’t really feel like this is the best idea.

It’s Snowing!

The snow is falling and everyone on the Eastern Seaboard is going a little crazy. I have no intention of driving in the snow, but still . . . It’s kind of hilarious.

August: Osage County

No, I did not get to see the original cast. But dear me, Estelle Parsons and the rest of the cast did not disappoint in the least bit. The frame of the house overwhelmed the stage. Characters would come and go as life changing drama unfolded in the guise of everyday events. Throughout the entireContinue reading “August: Osage County”

The Music World’s Latest Greatest Talent

Last night, I snuck into the Mount Vernon Stake Christmas program late. I didn’t think I’d make it at all, but I discovered I would be able to catch the last little bit of it.

This week hasn’t been too swell. and this is the week to make lists. So here’s a list. 1) I got angry this week because I realized that I hadn’t taken my own past abuse as seriously as I should have. 2) I became angry with my abuser(s). 3) Then I realized that my self-destructiveContinue reading “Learning”
