Being barky can be good but being nice so someone else can be nice is better. So, there.

I don’t normally tell people what to do. (Except every day of my life.)  (But I’m not bossy.  I just know what they should be doing.) So you can take this little ditty or leave it:  When you’re barky…be nice. (Even when you don’t want to be.) (Like me.)  (The “don’t want to be part.”) I [...]

The very thing I didn’t want is the very thing I now have and has become the very thing I can’t live without.

When I was single, I had a huuuuuge list of ’gotta haves’ and ‘ain’t no ways’ in a man. (Ok…things I prayed for.) The number one thing on my list of ‘gotta haves’? He’s gotta go to church.  And hold my hand. (And not just because I ask him to go with me.  Because it’s what he does.  With [...]

I’m living with the law and breaking it every day but let’s just keep that between us because what the law doesn’t know won’t hurt him. Or me. So, there.

If you are my husband…here, go read about the infatuation I used to have with Snoop Dogg. Or Snoop Lion.  Or whoever he is now. (And THAT is one of the very reasons I am over Snoop.  I mean, who in their right mind just up and changes their name?) (Snoop.  That’s who.) Anyway.  It’ll [...]

I have inspired someone of God knows what and oh, look…there’s my foot.

Foot

Katie:  “Soooo, have I asked you yet to trace your foot on a sheet of paper for me?” Me:  “I can’t honestly say that ANYONE has ever asked me to trace my foot on a sheet of paper for them.” Katie:  “No rush.  Do it.” Y’all.  Come on.  Really?  There is no way I could [...]

It’s about a bag. And me. OK…it’s about two bags. And a brownie.

Big Ass Bag 1

Every couple of weeks, I’m required to travel for the job. (“Required?”  I don’t think so.  I begged to take the position.  More like groveled.) (Before I got hitched.) (Now, when I’m gone that one night every other week, it makes Keith miss me.) (Really bad.) (Which is really good.)  (For me.) Anyway. A friend [...]

I apparently lost my calm and mature self at “I do.”

Cayla Text 1

By now, most everyone in the free world knows I’m married. I won’t shut up about it. Literally. (I think it was mentioned in some press conference on TV the other night, but I was outside jumping up trying to see over the fence asking the neighbors if they knew I got married.) (They knew.) [...]

Not much has changed unless you consider totally remodeling life as ‘change.’

Apparently, it’s true. I can’t do two things at once.  Those two things being: 1.  Life B.  Blogging I know.  Lame.  I get it.  Grow up.  Be a real woman.  Suck it up and multi-task.  Yeah.  Sure.  Uh, huh. Not a whole lot has happened since I last did this blog thing back in 1972. [...]

I might not have kids but I’ll embarrass them anyway. And others as well. But I can take it, too.

August 28, 2012

Sometimes I embarrass my family. (OK.  Maybe more than ‘sometimes’…maybe.) Because I told people on Facebook this was my family:   And it’s not. That right there is good stuff to me.  Really good stuff. And I probably even embarrass the kids I don’t have.  Because I put this on Facebook yesterday: And the kids can [...]

LUX: Since I’m not over here, I must be over there. Vol. 08192012

August 19, 2012

Yep, the girls over at Lux Magazine threw their hands up and surrendered.  They let me write for them again. They’re getting easier and easier to wear down though, I must admit. And over there, I’m rattling about ONE thing in life I just can’t seem to love to like. However, let’s be real. Even [...]

Roofers and an earthquake I can tackle. Small, buggish things in the night? Not so much.

August 14, 2012

I’m a pretty hard sleeper.  Most of the time. Or so I thought. I’ve slept through a crew of dudes re-roofing the house at 6:00 am…I’ve slept through a screaming alarm I forgot to turn off the night before…I’ve slept through a slight earthquake when the rest of the hotel guests were up and roaming around in [...]
