Day 2 - Color #photoadayApril

first of all, the winner of the $25 tiny prints giveaway is... ashley c. congratulations! i'll send you an email! i feel like i've become the world's lamest blogger.  i know i'm not.  seriously, there HAS to be a blogger out there who is lamer than i am, right?  anyways, i apologize {for the 3494369756th time}.  i'm also sorry for not doing a better job of responding to comments or commenting on blogs.  if you don't see an email response from me, please check my blog.  i can reply to comments directly on the blog which - if you ask me - is a very convenient feature. andrea, lis & myself have something fun in the works.  we're hoping it takes off...you know, on the regular.  it's a vlog series where we'll discuss all things pregnancy & motherhood related.  i … [Read more...]

dump da dump dump.

Knitting

{side note: all of the pictures in my b.w.p.* posts are blurry i guess from the transfer, so i apologize.  of course, i suppose i could use this to my advantage and finally get that big girl camera i've been coveting...  *b.w.p. = before word press}   to get used to how pictures show up in my blog  - and to share a few things with you - i figured a phone photo dump is in order.  be warned...the quality isn't all that great.  i love my new cell phone, but it doesn't have a flash nor do i have a very steady hand. so i was cutting through a local shopping center last week {to get from tj maxx to target, of course!} and i saw this stop sign behind walmart.  it made me laugh. can you see what it says?  you might have to click on the picture {this is a klassy cell phone … [Read more...]

new & improved.

keepcalmandblogon

everything is still VERY MUCH a work in progress...but what do you think? brea did an amazing job, didn't she?  i'm loving my new look & i'm slowly learning to love my new home.  i'm still working out a few kinks & glitches.  apparently some of you - myself included - are not always able to see the shiny & brand new stuttering shell.  the 404 error, i'm told, has something to do with my domain redirection not being fully propagated yet. so, yeah, um, just be patient please...goodness knows i'm trying to be. if you can see my new blog, i'm  having a very hard time debating whether or not i want to edit my prior posts.  the editing is a bit jacked up due to the move and my anal virgo ways are begging to change things and make blog posts look aesthetically pleasing … [Read more...]

thursday randoms.

it's been a week since i blogged about my not-so-pleasant encounter with a rude friend. thank you for your sweet comments. it's unfortunate that someone had to say something about my hair cut, but whatever. as ron white says, "you can't fix stupid."now, on to more pressing issues...thursday randoms...i missed practicum this week. sad. but, considering part of my rotation is in a toddler room and i woke up with a sore throat & congestion on monday morning, well, i think i made the right decision by staying home. i suppose i should mention, too, that i was in bed by 8pm on sunday {midnight is usually my bedtime} and i had the chills, too. fast forward to wednesday morning when i nearly barfed all over myself. yeah, spending the day in a first grade classroom would not have been … [Read more...]

thoughts on thursday.

traffic was bananas this morning!  i live just a few minutes from one of the many naval bases in our area.  operation solid curtain {or whatever they're calling it} is causing huge traffic backups.  good thing there's more than one way to get around this city.  yesterday was my 9th wedding anniversary.  adam took a half-day off from work. the kids had early dismissal.  the four of us celebrated by having a low-key lunch at margie & ray's.  i also spent $$$ on my car yesterday.  ugh.  but, i gotta keep my '01 nissan altima, emmy, running {jules named her!}.  she's purring like a kitten now.  i'm so glad i finally had my {dry rotted & cracked} alternator belt replaced...among other things.we're getting a new boston terrier puppy this weekend.*  we pick him up on … [Read more...]
