defining the circles that make me whole
Start with APosted by Alli on April 30, 2009
I’ve decided to start a photo project to be completed while I am here in Wichita Falls, Texas. I’m scouring downtown (the area where my parents live) for interesting letters of the alphabet. I’ve done this type of project before, in my own neighborhood. I thought it would be fun to look beyond the action [...]
Easing inPosted by Alli on April 29, 2009
Easing into a vacation is always a good idea. Get to your destination, rest up a little, glance around, take a nap… then get into the nitty gritty of seeing the sights and making sure you “be there, do that.” And, I’m happy to report, thanks to yucky weather, we are definitely easing into this [...]
Book Review :: The Beach Street Knitting Society and Yarn ClubPosted by Alli on April 28, 2009
Before I write this review, I have to say I think I was a little off my rocker to sign up for this. Finding time to read was difficult, but I soon figured out how to nurse and hold a book in one hand. When I was asked to review The Beach Street Knitting Society [...]
Getting readyPosted by Alli on April 27, 2009
Today I didn’t expect to: 1) burn my thumb 2) slice my pinky 3) ruin a shirt with food coloring Today I wanted to: 1) put things away in the attic 2) get out the suitcases 3) start packing Today I actually accomplished: 1) making and decorating cupcakes for the school our Moms Group supports [...]
non-drowsy my footPosted by Alli on April 26, 2009
I have been exhausted all day, and Tebow is definitely not to blame! When I was up at 2:30 last night/ early this morning, I felt this painful lump in my neck. I’ve been having problems with allergies (who hasn’t?)- mainly itchy throat and stuffy nose- so I figured it was related. Since I was [...]
SmootherPosted by Alli on April 25, 2009
I’ve been getting more sleep lately, thanks to Tebow’s new found respect for the concepts of night and day. Last night I only had to get up once, which made me fine with starting the day at 6:30, the next time he woke up. But since I’m better rested, I have been trying to use [...]
Best things in life are freePosted by Alli on April 22, 2009
Yesterday was Free Cone Day at Ben and Jerry’s. Our family made sure to be there for our free ice cream. We went last year and it will probably become a family tradition. When I was taking the kids downtown (with visions of ice cream in my head), Damon called to let me know the [...]
PrioritiesPosted by Alli on April 20, 2009
As I’ve been trying to find my footing in the path to our “new normal” I have been thinking a lot about priorities. I think the idea was planted in my mind by Besty and her kind suggestion of putting only three items on the to-do list. I have tried, really, to figure out how [...]
Ten, tien, dix, zehn, dieci, dezPosted by Alli on April 10, 2009
No matter how you say it, ten is the number of years Damon and I have been married. April 10, 1999 was a beautiful day, full of joy and happiness for us both. The last ten years have been a roller coaster of events, emotions, and dreams. And I know there are many more years [...]
Wedding Weekend Away!Posted by Alli on April 9, 2009
A few weeks ago I took a trip to visit my sister, Austina. She is getting married this weekend and I was present at one of her showers. It was a treat to hang out with her for a while and have a small break away from the mom with two kids lifestyle. I only [...]
