First off, apologies for not keeping up with all of you and your blog posts. It's been a rough week and a half, both for me and my husband. We've both been sick with the same thing, and I don't think that has ever happened in our history together. It's usually one or the other … Continue reading Rough Week and a Half
My Dogs and Me
It's no secret that I am a ridiculous dog lover. If I had the means and the property I would have one of each breed, and then some. They bring such unconditional joy and love into our lives. I wasn't always like this, though. When I was a teenager, we had a cat and I … Continue reading My Dogs and Me
December: A Time for Reflection
I love the month of December. It brings in my most favorite holiday. The weather allows us here in Tennessee to break from the heat and humidity that dominate 80% of the rest of the year. It's also a time to look back on the year and recall the good, the bad, and the ugly. … Continue reading December: A Time for Reflection
School Days: Favorite Class in School

It wasn't until I started high school that I went to a public school in Chicago. I remember my fifth grade teacher, Sister Vivian. She was a tough old bird but she … Continue reading School Days: Favorite Class in School

I've been an earring-making fiend and … Continue reading Unintended Hiatus

I'm old enough to write about how Halloween used to be for us when I was younger. It used to be so much more fun than what I see today. To be fair, I think parents are gravitating towards the days of their own youth, and letting their own kids have more fun the way … Continue reading Halloween of Yesterday
They’re Heeere!: 20 of My Favorite Halloween TV Shows & Episodes
I think this will be the final post in this series. Television used to be my life. I wrote about shows I watched and recapped episodes. I don't do that anymore. Instead, I enjoy what I want to watch and I don't write about it.

They’re Heeere!: 22 of My Favorite Halloween Songs
I've decided to make this a series of posts, since they all belong to the same theme of Halloween lists. There are many songs that either were released for Halloween, specifically, or were featured in a scary movie, not necessarily released at Halloween. These would be in the horror movies genre, which I know has … Continue reading They’re Heeere!: 22 of My Favorite Halloween Songs
