defining the circles that make me whole
(Not quite) Wordless WednesdayPosted by Alli on September 30, 2009
D and Fuller spent the weekend away. It was hot and D decided to spend some time in the sun without a shirt. He asked Fuller to put the sunscreen on his back. And this is what happened: I see a profile of a face, looking to the left. I also see the reason why [...]
My Type A Mom Come to Jesus MomentPosted by Alli on September 29, 2009
I’ve been home for three days now and I’m still overwhelmed with organizing my thoughts about the Type A Mom Conference. But, I’m going to give it a go. The conference was well organized with lots of intriguing sessions and very smart people on panels. Some of these people I knew of via the blogosphere/ [...]
Decompression before debriefingPosted by Alli on September 27, 2009
Late last night I was driving home from Asheville, counting the miles until I was pulling into my parking spot. And once I was here, I worked quickly to get Tebow and our stuff inside so I could get us both to bed. Even with sleeping late and taking a nap this afternoon, I’m still [...]
I came, I saw, I’m having fun!Posted by Alli on September 24, 2009
This morning I left my driveway at 10 a.m. on the dot. With a bit of traffic to deal with and a couple of stops to help Tebow, I made it to the Type A Mom Conference. After registration (complete with swag bags), I let Tebow explore the room while I got situated. A little [...]
Camera in a comaPosted by Alli on September 22, 2009
So Saturday Damon and I got caught in a deluge of rain. I think he told me he read that Jordan-Hare Stadium got 4 inches of rain during the downpour of doom, which is a lot of rain for the amount of time it rained. While the student section was being carefree about the rainy [...]
Well, that was definitely differentPosted by Alli on September 21, 2009
For the past two years we have been going to Auburn during football season, ready to cheer on the football team to victory. It usually means weekend trips and vignettes of Southern football traditions, including the one and only Auburn Elvis. Here it is three weeks into the 2009 season and I haven’t really mentioned [...]
considering fat acceptancePosted by Alli on September 15, 2009
I went to the doctor a few weeks ago for a physical. It was my first non-ob visit since Tebow was born AND since I had quit nursing in the last couple of months, I was going in with out baby-related excuses. I was going in to see exactly where I stood in Health category [...]
can’t lay off the food analogiesPosted by Alli on
So last month I compared life to cake. And then yesterday on the family blog I talked about how sometimes in life it is ok to have desert first. Apparently I have a thing for food analogies. And it gets worse because today I was thinking about the things in my life that aren’t desert- [...]
I Heart Faces :: ContemplativePosted by Alli on September 14, 2009
This week’s I ♥ Faces competition theme is “Contemplative.” This picture sprang to mind. I have used it on our family blog where it was getting some good comments as to what Tebow was thinking. I have no idea what he was thinking, as I often feel like I just have no idea what he [...]
Burning and blessingsPosted by Alli on September 3, 2009
It started with a smell. I was in the kitchen and had just turned on the dishwasher. When Damon commented on the smell, I turned off the dishwasher. The smell wasn’t coming from the kitchen. A quick look outside showed us smoke coming from the North. And soon afterwards we were walking towards it and [...]
