It's her birthday!




16 years ago today she was born. A day I'll never forget. I woke up during the early morning and went to the bathroom (as preggo ladies often do in the middle of the night) so when I woke up at 7:30 to get ready for my doctor's appointment I didn't have to rush to the bathroom. I laid in the bed thinking of what I was going to eat for breakfast when my water broke! So I ended up in the bathroom anyway LOL I got dressed and we headed to the hospital....after I ate breakfast :)



She arrived at 12:38...right after lunch. My only child to be born in the afternoon (the rest were morning babies). She weighed 9 pound and 1 ounce. She was 21 inches long. And had dark brown, almost black hair. And lots of it. She was a miserable baby. She had her days and nights mixed up. that didn't matter though cause she only slept for about 20 minutes at a time and then cried for the next half hour. She did that the first 3 months she was alive. I thought I'd die from lack of sleep. I wondered why she wasn't a good baby like her big sister.



Thankfully we figured out it was her formula. Once we straightened that out, she was a happy little camper.

Now, she's 16. A sophmore in high school. A beautiful young lady. She wants to be a surgeon. She wants a new kitten. She wants a new car. She'll get her driver's license at the end of the month. She has a potty mouth. Regardless, I am very proud of her. She's a spectacular human being that I love with all my heart and soul.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JENNA! I LOVE YOU!

Ready for the rodeo?

Well, after being away from sewing and listing and selling for a couple of years, I've finally got something new up. I used an adorable cowboy and cowgirl fabric from Michael Miller and made this skirt and top that would be perfect for a trip to the rodeo. Or it would be great for western day at school. Feel free to check it out...even bid on it ;0) http://cgi.ebay.com/Custom-Boutique-Rascals-Western-Cowgirl-CBD-FCBM_W0QQitemZ280255354898QQihZ018QQcategoryZ79714QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Lover Unleashed by JR Ward

Are you reading the Black Dagger Brotherhood series?  If you're not, can I ask why not?  And if you're not, I'm going to tell you that I think you need to stop reading this for a few minutes and go to Amazon or Barnes & Noble or some website and either buy you a paper copy or download a copy of Dark Lover and start reading the series (This is a series that HAS to be read in order).  This can wait.  Go do that and then come back and see what I'm going to say. So this was book 9 in the series.  Payne and Manny's story.  And while we got their story, I felt it was eclipsed by Payne's brother Vishous.  I love getting lost in the Brothers' world.  When I open the book and start reading, my children and home all fade away and I'm in Caldwell with them (is Caldwell, NY a real place?).  We got introduced to some new vampires in this installment and that was pretty cool.  There was NO Lesser pov here and that was more than pretty cool.  Just between us

Is it Supposed to be Chewy?

Good Morning!   Yes, I'm one of *those* people.  The ones who are unusually happy and greet everyone with a "good morning".  I use to teach with a lady that would look at me and say, "It's just morning.  There isn't anything good about it cause we're at school."  I'd just smile in response. Because, really?  What is there to say to that? So, I said I was going to try oatmeal this morning.  And I have.  And the jury is still out on whether or not I like it.  I know, you're wondering why I'd try oatmeal if I don't like it.  Or better yet, you're wondering how I've never tried oatmeal before.  Well, let me explain... I'm a Southerner.  Born in southeast Texas, raised in coastal Louisiana, currently shacking up in Alabama. I joke and say you couldn't get much more southern than me since I'm from below I-10 (if you don't understand that, look at the map up there). In fact, I've never lived north of
