Self Portrait: Family Fire NightPosted by Alli on October 14, 2008
The cool fall air has been inviting our family outside to enjoy the fire pit and some family fun. Unfortunately it has warmed up recently and we haven’t been answering the siren call of fire, marshmallows, and chocolate that much. But last night Fuller asked politely and we sat outside for a while. We usually [...]
Self Portrait: Not LazyPosted by Alli on
Well, leave it to me to start a project and then drop the ball three pictures in. What actually happened was after a relaxing Friday and Saturday, Sunday morning I woke up (at the bright hour of 8 a.m.) with a need to clean, clean, and clean some more. I figured it would have been [...]
Self Portrait: Relaxing WeekendPosted by Alli on October 11, 2008
My weekend started around 2:30 yesterday afternoon, when my husband and son left for the weekend. I took a nap, woke up, and then sat on the couch until 10 p.m. I watched what I wanted to watch, without ridicule from the peanut gallery or fielding requests for more juice/ popcorn/ peanut butter/ whatever. And [...]
Self Portrait: A reflection of mePosted by Alli on October 10, 2008
I love finding self portraits of myself in reflections. When I saw myself in Fuller’s sunglasses today, I immediately took the picture. I love this little guy so much, and I hope as he grows up, my reflection stays with him. I want that reflection to show him my love, the lessons I try to [...]
Self Portrait Sunday on Monday: RecoveryPosted by Alli on October 6, 2008
Here I am sitting in a Hardee’s in Monteagle, TN. I’m showing off my “official” Auburn Elvis Support Staff badge, whipped up by Damon Auburn Elvis himself. We had been joking I should have a special pin or press pass to wear when we go to the games, and he made this one for the [...]
Pregnancy MassagePosted by Alli on September 18, 2008
One of the things I feared when I was getting ready for my Orlando trip was tiring out from walking from hotel to hotel. I remembered my trip to Vegas last year and how sore and tired I was from all the walking. Granted I didn’t walk anywhere near as much in Orlando as I [...]
From Pretty to SweatyPosted by Alli on September 14, 2008
I am sitting in my hotel room, digesting breakfast and debating another cup of coffee. If you take a look at the picture above, I hope you see the stark contrast I see. When I arrived on Thursday I immediately got pretty and excited to see my friends at the Izeafest pre-party. I left the [...]
My bags are (almost) packed, I’m (almost) on my wayPosted by Alli on September 10, 2008
We got back from our last trip late Saturday night. And now I am packing again for my trip to Orlando. This time it is all about me, me, me! I don’t have to worry about packing enough boxer briefs, pull-ups, and where the heck is Damon’s black belt? I am even dumping everything out [...]
Protecting my propertyPosted by Alli on August 26, 2008
Yesterday I had a craving for a donut. Or donuts. And I wanted something gooey with filling. I settled on some with lemon filling, buying six, because that is how they were packaged. I ate one in the car. I ate one after lunch. Damon ate one as soon as he came home. Damon ate [...]
I love it when people take my suggestions!Posted by Alli on August 18, 2008
If you are fully involved in my online life, you know I twitter. In fact, if you can see my updates in the box on the left side of this blog (it says “Twitter Alli” in case you miss it). There are lots of neat things about twitter I like. I used to think of [...]
