The Blame Game (or why I’m so tired)Posted by Alli on June 15, 2009
If you had talked to me on Saturday and asked how I was, I probably would have told you I was tired. And if you were aware that I had an almost four month old, you might have given me an understanding head nod and try to blame it on Tebow. Except, on Saturday, I [...]
Don’t call me… or rather, just don’t leave a messagePosted by Alli on April 9, 2009
If you recall, my cell phone was water damaged in January. (Thank goodness for blog archives!) The good news was the cell dried out and started working again, with the exception of the outer display. Well, apparently the story wasn’t complete. I accidentally let the battery totally die on Tuesday. When I went home and [...]
grrrrPosted by Alli on February 5, 2009
I have a growing list of grievances that may be of interest to no one but me, but by posting them, I can probably think and get over them. ~swollen feet. If I don’t keep my feet up (which my new recliner helps with) my feet swell. And it is a tad painful. The swelling [...]
December 14th :: Good morningPosted by Alli on December 14, 2008
I took this picture this morning, when the day was full of possibilities and happiness. And then I started to get ready and it all went down from there. I think there is a saying in the blogosphere that goes something like, “Why have a blog if you can’t complain?” I like that saying because [...]
Self Portrait Sunday: Body IssuesPosted by Alli on September 28, 2008
So here it is, a self portrait for Sunday. I don’t have a lot to say except this pregnancy has given me some serious body issues. I keep wishing I had lost more weight before getting pregnant. I keep wishing I had a bigger bump so it looks more like “Wide load: Pregnant lady” instead [...]
H is for hormotionalPosted by Alli on April 15, 2008
I’m taking a break from the letter pictures because the picture I want to take of the letter M has yet to be shot. I know what/ where to take it, I just need to go do it. And today it wasn’t meant to be. Getting our dog, Lively, to the groomer and back took [...]
I need a presentPosted by Alli on February 12, 2008
Last Friday Damon and I took some time in the evening to look at the stars through his dad’s telescope. We found Mars and I marveled at how clear the stars were. While we had our necks craned backwards I felt something creepy crawly slither down my back. I reached into my shirt, pulled something [...]
December Photo Project: Day 22Posted by Alli on December 22, 2007
I went to the Dayton 2nd Street Market with my sister this morning. I had plenty of opportunities for some pictures, but this picture of an oddly marked van is what really caught my eye. I know it is the season for fruitcakes- I am one of them! I found myself in a bit of [...]
TriggersPosted by Alli on December 5, 2007
When I am in a pretty decent, even keeled mood (more happy than sad) it is so strange for me to be knocked back into a spiral of unhappiness or despair. I’ve noticed when I slip slowly into sadness, and I honestly think those times are hormone induced, but to be kicked into a blubbering [...]
Let the nightmares beginPosted by Alli on November 4, 2007
I head out to Las Vegas on Wednesday. Are you jealous? This is a very special trip for me because it is my first trip without my husband and son- ever. Also, on Friday I will turn 31. One of the purposes of going to Las Vegas is a blogging conference, but more importantly, I [...]
