Memory #8 – age 7 yrs Ah, second grade. Mrs. Bruning. I don’t think she liked me all that much. At least I have one memory that makes me think this. Second grade was when the whole I Like Boys thing happened for me. Or at least I started noticing boys and they started noticing [...]

Since bringing home our puppy nearly a month ago I’ve gone into Petco twice now. Both times I’ve run into the same cashier and, both times, I’ve had the same unpleasant encounter. The first time I went in to buy a few little things and ended up picking up one of those big claw-like pooper [...]

Memory #7 – age 6 yrs In first grade I actually had the same teacher as I had in Kindergarden. She looped up with us that year. I really liked her but then, at the end of the school year, she broke my heart. I had made my teacher this woven pot holder for Christmas. [...]

Memory #6 – age 5 yrs The beginning of the school years. Kindergarden is where I first met two girls who became two of my oldest and dearest friends — Lissy and Tracy. Lissy and I were in the same class all through elementary school and her family lived in the house my grandparents used [...]

 • Grace Kelly dies in [...]

Memory #2 – age 1 yr In just a matter of months I went from being the baby of the family to the big sister. My little sister, Terri, was born just 14 months after me. Fourteen months to the day, to the minute. I think, by now, we were also living in our new [...]

In thirty days I will be turning thirty! I was trying to think of a fun way to celebrate that here on my blog. I thought about doing a giveaway-a-day (that would have been really fun for all of you) but just didn’t think about that soon enough to line-up some sponsors and prizes. So, [...]

I remember the first time I told my husband (boyfriend at the time) that I was afraid of moths. At first he thought I was joking but, when he realized I was serious, he reaction quickly turned to one of “are you a freaking lunatic?”. Honestly, I am terrified of those things. Big or small, [...]
