my current situation on November 1 at 11:00 a.m. kind of a mess, y’all. when i finished my final Blogtober14 post on Thursday night and scheduled it for Friday, i breathed a sigh of relief, felt a sense of accomplishment and went about the business of Halloween — without a single thought about what i […]
Morei cannot even believe this is the very last post of Blogtober14 — or that i made it through all but the very beginning of the month! i’m really kind of sad it’s over! thanks so much to Tay and Helene for doing this awesome link-up. i’ve had so much fun, met so many interesting bloggers, […]
Moreum, because i had a lot of extra time on my hands today. </sarcasm> this month has changed me, y’all. i felt some pressure to do something cool on the next-to-last day. the hierarchy is all kinds of a mess and these might not be the most interesting facts about me, but this is all […]
Moreare you freaking kidding me? my life is a series of embarrassing moments, y’all. there was that time in pre-school when i pooed on the playground. yeah, like the only moment from my early childhood that i actually remember. there was the 7th grade moment, when my deep, but silent crush on Eric K. was […]
Moreokay, not really. but you gotta love seeing Stevie Wonder perform on Sesame Street back in 1973! (don’t even want to know how many other Blogtober14 posters used that one today . . . meh.) anyway, for a girl with a solid black cat for going on 15 years, it makes sense i’m not that […]
Morehey, girl. comin’ at ya from the future this time. it is weird out here — we do everything on our phones and Duran Duran aren’t even a thing anymore. i know. but you’re gonna love it. promise. i’m writing from a bar in Atlanta because i worked from home today, but had to get […]
Morewow. putting this together has brought up some interesting things! i’ve always, always thought Ashley Judd would play me in the amazing movie of my life. we are soul sisters in the way that Reese Witherspoon and i would total besties IRL. but Reese is way too blonde. sorry. Ashley’s down to earth. smart. Southern. Liberal. […]
Moregorgeous photo: MercerMe gosh, i could never pick just one. hi, i’m an English major, writer and sporadically avid reader. check out my nightstand for a taste of what i read on the regular. promise it isn’t deep or super-literary or much of anything out of the ordinary! when i’m on my game, i go […]
Morewell this was inevitable. so much blogging, so little time. i fell behind on the #Blogtober14 prompts. again. but lucky for me (and you!), i think i can wrap up yesterday’s, today’s (since they’re both kind of about favorite things) and my semi-usual Friday favorites in one neat little package here. so overachieving of me, huh? don’t get […]
Morephoning it in a bit tonight, y’all. i am exhausted and have just about hit my wall with these posts. serious, giant YAY!! to everyone who’s still hangin’ tough and knockin’ ’em out every damn day. 9 more to go, people! keep it up! and now, in no particular order, i present my completely-off-the-top-of-my-head laundry […]
Moreon night 14 this month of single-mommydom, with another 9 ahead of me, 24 hours on the sofa totally alone, in jammies, with a book, some Real Housewives, Chinese delivery, a bottle case of wine and zero interruptions sounds like the most perfect vacation i can possibly imagine. if that could go on for like […]
Moreokay, so aside from the recurring visions i’m having about somehow contracting Ebola while Spy is in Europe and then having to be separated from Miss Girl until he can get here and how totally. effing. traumatic. the whole thing would be, i’m not afraid of that much stuff. and just so you know, i’m […]
Morei’ve been trying not to double up on posts. there’s probably something in my Virgo moon that likes clean separation on these kinds of things. but for tonight, that chick can go organize some other crap in some other corner (god knows there’s plenty of places for that in this house). meanwhile, i’m going to […]
Morebefore i get into today’s post, i want to point out for anyone who’s keeping track that while i did technically post yesterday, i did my own thing instead of following the prompt and linking up. so that still counts as writing everyday! go me! now, for my secret. shhhhhh. you’re lookin’ at it. yep. […]
Moreone word, people. pants. i still don’t have the pants thing figured out. this post-weight-loss shopping is totally not as fun as it sounds. but it is to be hoped that between my recent trip to the seamstress and an Old Navy order currently being processed, i will at least have that ridiculously basic problem solved […]
Morewow, another hard one! and this time, because there are so many options, not so few! i spent my day today 100% fucking off at work. yeah, check my timesheets. outside of having an awesome catch-up lunch with one of my favorite writer friends, i also spent a lot of time reviewing some stuff i […]
Morea’ight, y’all. in all seriousness. the funniest thing about this post is how absolutely freakin’ absurd it is. could anybody please just give this old lady a break here? i can barely remember what i ate for dinner tonight, much less shit that happened literally decades ago. i mean . . . i am lucky […]
Morei mean, something’s always mixed up around here, right? so before i even knew about this whole Blogtober thing, i actually did a post about one of my favorite fall recipes, my grandmother’s apple cake. it’s delicious. grown men beg me for it. i swear. you should go look and then make you some. then […]
Moremmmkay. this is completely not where i thought i’d end up tonight. i had all kinds of plans to do my post today about the apple preserves i’m making. i’ve got the jars and the pectin and, well duh, the apples. and i even spent time at Michael’s yesterday figuring out some cute stylings for […]
More4 score and 7 years ago, i started this damn post. this prompt has been one hell of a hard one, y’all. as i said yesterday, i try not to get too political on here. but i also didn’t want to softball this one and do a “fun” post, because i think the issues are […]
Morei’ve never been much on #TBT, mainly because i’m way too lazy to dig up old pix, scan ’em and post ’em. gaah. that exhausts me just typing it. also, i truly do prefer looking forward over looking back. and also, i’m old. so my memory is fading. truth. i did just look through some […]
Morehey, girl. can you even believe i accepted this dumb blog challenge and am actually writing this thing? you’re probably laughing at me right now. if you’re still keeping up this blog, you’ve gotta be the oldest blogger on the planet by now. hope there’s some kind of award for that. but anyway . . […]
Morea bit late to the game, but jumping in on #Blogtober14, here! i’m considering committing to a big writing project for November, so it seems like trying to post here every day is a good way to start flexing those muscles and get into the habit of writing every single day. luckily, The Daily Tay […]
