Day 17? who cares… My First Car

1978 chevy chevette

So the modeling contest crap got me out of blogging for about 30 days…and my little memory meme is all shot to pieces. Ill just pick up with my apologies. I’m sure you missed the gobs of photos I was going to inundate you with. Right? Right. Two weeks ago on FNL we were talking [...]

Day #13: Afghanistan

home from afghanistan

This was the day that DH came home from Afghanistan. She was 9 months when he left and just over a year when he came home. He missed her first steps. You would think a child her age wouldn’t realize he was gone or even who he was, but she ran towards him and hasn’t [...]

#Day 12: BlogHer

I know, I’m behind! When I get on project duty, I go off schedule here. My Dh just walked by and dropped this on my desk. I have no clue where it was, but I thought was a fun memory. What happens when bloggers skip class at BlogHer. This is Kim, Blondie, Kadi, Alicia, Jenna, [...]

Day #11: I could kick your ass

taekwondo

Ok, not really. But the other night on FNL we were talking about the sports we did as kids and I did TaeKwonDo for 5 years. I won 3 national championship trophies. I wasn’t half bad at it. But teenage hormones and all of that took over and I dropped out. But I can still [...]

Memory #10: Charlottes Twin

A long time ago I met a woman online who lived in Arizona that used to swear that in her daughters day care, Charlotte had a twin. Everyone has a twin, right? We have all heard it. “I saw someone that looked just like you today.” One day in my email, after trying to convince [...]

Day #9: Big Brother

A few years ago…I tried out for Big Brother alongside my dad. We drove over to Birmingham I think it was. We had a blast, minus the part  where we were 1 inch from death when some moronic teenage girl decided 95mph was a safe driving speed while running a red light. We both went [...]

Day #8: Murder Mystery

Once upon a time we used to be fun. And have friends. And with friends came get togethers. However instead of parties, we used to host murder mystery dinners, which were a lot more fun. Inevitably, I was always the murderer..whether by fate or divine intervention the role suited me quite well. Now one year [...]

Day #7: Pregnancy

I hated being pregnant. I hated the entire concept from throwing up, to getting bigger, to labor. Therefore, I hated any form of pregnancy “documentation”. But I did allow 1 picture to be taken of me showing my stomach. This was taken almost one month to the day before Charlotte was born. Now my hair- [...]

Day #6: Mardi Gras

I have a feeling I wont do all 325 days because I didn’t consider that I don’t like to blog on the weekends. So this may actually be Day #6-#8. But who’s counting, right? I am going to do this one as a recent memory…as in yesterday. Although the birth place of Mardi Gras is [...]

Day #5: The Day I stopped buying expensive Ma ...

Picture 027

I really dont think this needs much explanation. 5 minutes + 2 year old + Cat steps = $25 per jar Bare Minerals  becoming the new lacquer on my dresser. I got my revenge in the form of a bath and hair washing. I think she was stained for days. The look of the fun [...]
