Actually they have a little stretch to them and had been being expanded so much my thighs and my…

Six months since...
This is sort of a milestone for me. It may seem silly, buuuut whatever. In two days from now, on the 10th, it'll have been six months since I last had ANYthing from McDonald's. To me, this is a pretty big feat. Haha. I still indulge elsewhere once in a while, but McDonald's was always the big one for me -- it's near my…

Huge compliment received
Last night, when I was at the salon feeling on the verge of crying about my rapidly greying hair, I received the most wonderful complement in the form of a question. A stylist/photographer asked me if I would consider doing some print ads for her... What?!? Me? I wanted to be sure she had the right person! I still am not…

We live in a new subdivision and have a very large yard. We have a huge hill on the side of the yard that last year we landscaped, planted 10 trees and 100s of shrubs.
