Lookie, lookie, I just made my first video edit extravaganza. Hope you like burping. (give it a second to load, it’s about 12 MB . . . I’m working on that. That’s a whole lot better than the 154 MB that it was earlier, so ha.) [EDIT: for those of you that saw the first […]

Rocks
Yesterday afternoon, with temperatures at a near-balmy 72 degrees, I was lamenting the end of my precious jacket weather. Nothing left for me but short sleeved shirts and sad times. This afternoon, it was 39 degrees . . . and falling. Gotta love the spring yo-yo weather here in Alabama. I proudly donned my long […]
The state bird, the state flower, the state tree, the state symbol, the state . . . alcohol?
Well, if it’s not one thing, it’s another. The great state of Alabama now has an official state ‘spirit.’ ‘Spirit’ meaning ‘whiskey.’ Yes, that’s right, folks. The Alabama legislature overrode the governor’s veto this week to name Conecuh Ridge Fine Alabama Whiskey the official state spirit. Pause for dumbfounded speechlessness. Now let me get this […]
St. George Island, Florida: A Photo Summary
I am always incredibly amazed at how fast wonderful days skim by, and last week was no exception. In fact, the only slow part of last week was the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday before we all headed down to sunny Florida. Steven and I amused ourselves with repeated trips to Wal-Mart. I believe we set […]
Juvenile Sexual Harassment? Only in Alabama . . .
I would be the first one to admit that, as far as looks go, I am average. Of course, my husband would disagree with me (I think the term ‘babe-alicious’ would creep into his mind), but in the eyes of most of society, I am just another chick goin’ to Wal-Mart on a Thursday afternoon. […]
Aww, Spit
It’s always a nice, quiet evening around here when I have given Renton a bath. He seems to think it unseemly that he should be so clean, so he licks himself for hours until his coat is glazed with a new sheen of cat spit. It is three hours gone since his bath and he […]
Eight
Well, it has been a while, hasn’t it? Terribly sorry. I’m afraid I’ve been a bit busy recently, and I did get to have an adventure as well, so at least I’ve got stuff to comment on now. Not that anyone pays attention to any of this. On Wednesday, I got to have a bonifide […]
Road Trip
I miss the smell of diesel fuel at the buttcrack of dawn. This realization came upon me yesterday morning as I was coming into work an hour early for a road trip to Chattanooga, where my boss had his diesel truck running in idle. It was a surprisingly good smell, and memories of band trips […]
#$^&*((^$#^&*
And now it is the morning. And there is no snow save for a two by three inch patch in the woods. I am going to go cry now.
Toliet Paper Is For Sissies; Use The Bath Tub Instead
Ahh, new updates. Huntsville finally woke up this afternoon and placed us northeast Alabama counties in a Winter Storm Warning, so the excitment is still building here. I’ve half a mind to set my alarm clock to 3 a.m. to see if the predictions were oh so true. And, knowing myself, if I see this […]
