I remember once when I was 13 that I had a very dramatic and angst-ridden “crisis”. The word “crisis” should be taken very lightly there, obviously, because even though I can’t remember now what the particular problem was that day…I’m sure it was no greater than a bad hair day or the fact that the grocery store was sold out of BOP magazine. That day I told my Mom that in some ways I felt like I knew so much {Read More}

A special thank you to Stephanie for inspiring me to do this. Where I’m From -I am from construction paper masterpieces,from Lisa Frank stickers and riding bikes til the street lights came on. I am from the white house on the corner, the one with the big tree that always loses limbs during storms.I am from the bayou full of turtles and crawfish, from the telephone pole near the park that oozed stinky creosote for years (and don’t touch or it will {Read More}

Me circa 2000. What a difference 11 years makes. You’re beautiful. More than you’ll probably ever realize. You are NOT fat. Being popular really doesn’t matter.

I can’t believe how much I loathed myself when this photo was taken, because now when I look at it… my {Read More}

Last night my twin nieces celebrated their 12th birthday with a Twilight Party. There were red and black streamers everywhere, life size cut outs of Edward and Jacob, and the best part….there was dancing. Lots and lots of dancing. I actually told my SIL that their party seemed like alot like Sparklecorn, only with smaller guests and virgin drinks. It was really great to see all the girls dancing and having a blast. At one point, Jackson and I joined {Read More}
Lost?

My footprints.Taken at Monahans Sandhills State Park. If you know me at all, you know this post has nothing to do with the t.v. show. During the roadtrip last week I did a lot of deep thinking. I began a deep introspection, and to be quite honest, I came home more unsure of myself than I have ever been. I keep waiting for the day when I’ll wake up and have life all figured out…though I’m just now starting to {Read More}
Back In The Day

This weekend while browsing the racks at Macy’s I overheard a great deal of squealing coming from the ladies dressing room (no, not that kind of squealing, get your mind out of the gutter!). So anyway, I headed over to try on several different blouses and when I rounded the corner I saw what all the fuss was about. A group of four girls (most certainly BFF’s) were trying on Prom dresses together. At that moment I felt the tinge {Read More}
