I live in a small town outside of my college town and some times when I venture into town I see things/people that I don’t like or understand, but it’s my hometown. I’m going to tell you a story of my Friday night, well part of it that it is. It all started when I tried […]
It’s finally springtime in Missouri … well at least it is today. It was in the 80s earlier this week and then snowing on Friday. So, we don’t know how long this weather is going to last. When we do get a burst of nice weather the dogs have eaten every second of it up. […]
Meet Tiny Dodger! The newest addition to mine and J’s family. Tiny got her name from the fact that she dodges traffic like a pro. So here I was driving home from my hometown back to Springfield on Wednesday I spot this little pup jumping through the tall grass in between two lanes of traffic […]
Life is a ride. Simple phrase that explains so much. I graduated from college with my Masters. Celebrated Christmas with my family and J’s family. Traveled over 8 hours in a car in less than 36 hours. Rang in the New Year with J and some great friends. Started living on my own again. survived […]

When I was a little girl my favorite game to play was dress-up. My mom would save what I called “twirly dresses” where I could spin and spin in them. I dreamt of this life where I would be able to wear fancy dresses on a regular basis, have my hair beautified. I was the […]
J and I are fighting off colds and have spent most of the weekend wrapped up in blankets watching football. We did get up and out yesterday. Took the pup for a walk at the park. She was in 7th heaven, struttin’ her stuff. I will spend the rest of today in a nice comfy […]
Today, I am sitting on the couch with a box of tissues next to me with a sniffling nose watching Home Improvement reruns. It reminds that fall is finally here. Weird reminder, I know. That’s how my brain works. I love, love, love fall (that’s a lot of love right there) and couldn’t be more […]
