Every year we go to my grandparents’ farm for Thanksgiving. It snowed on us on Friday! We had about two inches that stuck through the night and into Saturday. We’ve done Thanksgiving there my whole life, and I don’t remember it EVER showing.
Being a born-and-bred Texas girl, this was me.
My favorite part of the weekend, [...]

It’s the little things in life
Last Christmas, my three-year-old, still-making-monthly-payments-on-it, out-of-warranty car decided not to start. Knight is experienced in car maintenance and parts and stuff, and he decided it needed a new starter. He found one and installed it himself.

“Because I said so.”
Hey, at least I never lied to myself [...]

The pressure’s getting to me
Sinus pressure drove me from the bed at 6:00 this morning. My allergies are killing me this week. I’ve heard tell, and I think it’s true, that if you don’t suffer from allergies before you move to the Austin area, then you will within five years or something. So! If you’ve been seeing the ads [...]

Less stress, sort of
I have my lesson plans for all five classes done all the way up to Thanksgiving break! Woo!! We get the entire week off, so I’m really looking forward to the vacation.
We go to my grandparents’ farm in western Oklahoma every year. They don’t have internet, and my cell phone doesn’t even get reception. Nothing [...]
