Here it is, ten thirty in the morning, and I’m blogging, eating leftover Thai food, swigging ice tea by the gallon, and have Chrissy Tomlin cranked to the highest. In other words, I’m in full-0n procrastination mode. I’ve had major deadlines lately, so no time to blog. No time to breathe. But yet, SOOO much […]
READ MOREIt’s been a tough week with the news of Anna Nicole, false snow reports, a deadline, and conferences at school. But opening my In box to see the cover for book two, On the Loose, was definitely a little ray of sunshine. I like how on this cover you can tell the book isn’t totally […]
READ MOREDid you watch the Super Bowl? I’m not really about football (I’m more of a men’s syncronized swimming fan myself), but Sunday night was AWESOME. For me, it was not so much about a team–but about one man. You all know who I’m talking about. It was a total victory for this guy. He had […]
READ MOREI saw Dream Girls a few weeks ago. Not bad. There has been a LOT of award talk over the actors. Golden Globes, SAG Awards, Oscar, Pulitzer. It’s good to see American Idol reject Jennifer Hudson totally blowing people away and capturing a dream. GREAT to see Eddie Murphy in a role in which he’s […]
READ MORERecently I was able to view the back cover copy to my book In Between. On this back cover is my picture (frightening) and a little blurb about me. I wrote it myself, so I don’t know why it seemed to jar me. I guess typing the little blurb in an email to someone is […]
READ MOREReturned to work today after a (nearly) two week break. A break in which I stayed up VERY late and slept VERY late. Waking up this morning, I felt like semi-truck road kill. Had a little trouble keeping the peepers open, too. It looked a little something like this…
READ MOREI got to blog about resolutions over at Girls, God, and the Good Life, a Christian blog for teen girls. Check it out at http://girlsgodgoodlife.blogspot.com/2006/12/resolving-some-resolutions.html#comments
READ MOREAnother year gone. Goodbye, 2006. You were a very good year to me. I shall miss you and think of you fondly. I would like to take some time and reflect on Two Thousand and Six, the Year of our Lord. Oh, Oh, Six. The Big Six. The sixth year past the millennium. MY FAVORITE […]
READ MOREHad a snow day (and a half) last week. Once again I will use my mean rhymes to share my inner-most feelings. ODE TO SNOW Snow, I love your whitey, school-closing goodness, Your frozen, sleet-filled, crystal flakes. And I just knew you’d come through for me, Like Pamela Anderson knows her boobs are fakes. I […]
READ MOREPamela Anderson Lee Rock filed for divorce from Kid today. That’s it. The world is ending. THe institution of marriage is completely destroyed (see blog from 11/13). And Pamela, when you find a man with the last name Rock–you KEEP him. Rock sounds uber cool tacked onto anyone’s name. Oprah Rock. Sinead O’Rock. Jet Li […]
READ MOREOn this day after Thanksgiving, I’m gonna be oh-so original and share with you what I am thankful for. 1. I am thankful that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes finally got married. Had they not, I never would’ve known that in a Scientology ceremony the alien, er, that is groom pledges the following to his […]
READ MOREIt’s been a troublesome week. The world is falling apart, and I have no time to comment on it. No time to reach out to those in need—like K-Fed—and lend my support and rhyming skills. I have a book deadline at the end of the month, and so no time to commit to following all […]
READ MOREJust wanted to share pictures of my niece, Katie Beth, and nephew, Hardy, from Halloween. They are the cutest kids EVAHHHH!!!! Eye witnesses claim to have seen him jumping on the couch, shouting, “I’m gone, Oprah! I’m totally gone.” And my favorite bug in the world, Katie Beth. That’s her dad, the ham on the […]
READ MOREGirls, God, and the Good Life is a Christian blog specifically for teen girls (or for adults like me who can’t seem to grow up…). I get the opportunity to blog on there a few times a month. Check it out HERE.
READ MORESo Saturday night I had a costume party to attend. I went as Katie Holmes. I had a wig, giant sun glasses, and Suri. It didn’t quite work. I think I’m just not as in touch with my psycho-alien worshiping pop culture icon as I should be. Sunday night saw Chris Tomlin in concert. Totally […]
READ MOREClarity is terrible, but check this out (not that I relate or anything).
READ MOREThose who know me well (okay, even those who have ever spent more than five seconds in my presence), know that I am accident prone and a walking disaster on a regular basis. I usually have so much going on in my head (Not deep, insightful thoughts like figuring out how to change the cellular […]
READ MOREWrote a little poem today. Goes something like this: TRUE HURTPretty, pretty new fridge.You promised to keep my bologna cold.But you lied. You LIED!Now I search for your replacement.Since you died on my kitchen floor.It’s over. Over.I take comfort in only one thing.A Taco Bell Chalupa.
READ MORETake a stroll down memory lane with me. When I was little I wanted a Barbie Dream House. You know, the totally cool mansion that Barbie lived in with a Ken of her choice. I remember my dad’s birthday gift was to be Barbie’s abode. He shows up and presents the gift to me like […]
READ MOREI have a developed an illness, as have many in Northwest Arkansas. No, it’s not over-exposure to poultry road kill. It’s not arthritis from gripping the steering wheel in anger over commute times being tripled. And it’s not a psychotic need to get a poodle perm due to residing five years in a retirement village. […]
