Getting ready in so many waysPosted by Alli on January 5, 2009
I had another doctor appointment today. I thought I was going to weekly visits, but I have two more weeks until that officially starts. I took Fuller with me, which really he doesn’t mind. He gets to watch the iPod Touch (he called it a wallet with boxes, which took me a while to figure [...]
Last thoughtsPosted by Alli on December 31, 2008
I’ve been thinking most of the day about what to write on this final day of 2008 and really, nothing coherent comes to mind. I haven’t blogged about every little detail in my life, but I can generally say it has been a year of ups and downs. I feel like the year is ending [...]
Self imposed house-rest, not quite bedrestPosted by Alli on December 17, 2008
Well, I skipped yesterday in the December Photo Project for a couple of reasons. 1) I didn’t pick up the camera once and 2) I seem to have a bit of a cold which robbed me of my desire to open up the laptop after Fuller went to bed. One of the reasons I didn’t [...]
December 9th :: ClichéPosted by Alli on December 9, 2008
When you spend all day doing errands and then trying to cook/ bake/ put Fuller to bed/ bake some more, you end up looking around asking, “What can I take a picture of?” And then you attempt the cliché shot of the photographer in the ornament and this is what I give you as my [...]
December 2nd :: Project progressPosted by Alli on December 2, 2008
As I mentioned yesterday, I’m trying to get organized for the decorating and celebrating of the season. One of my goals is to have a countdown/ Jesse tree thing for our family to use in getting ready for December 25th. I saw this countdown calendar and thought to myself, “Hey! I have plenty of toilet [...]
The Finish LinePosted by Alli on November 30, 2008
Well, I did it. One whole month of writing a post a day means I successfully finished NaBloPoMo. I realize I didn’t do some amazing posts, sometimes just filling in the blank box, but still. I finished! Someone, please congratulate me! To add to the fun, we finished our Thanksgiving trip when we got home [...]
Book review: One Fifth AvenuePosted by Alli on November 26, 2008
Candace Bushnell is known as the author of bestselling books Lipstick Jungle and Sex and the City. Both have been morphed from the page to small screen (though Sex and the City did make it to the big screen), so I am aware they exist. The funny thing is, I’ve never read those books. Candace [...]
The heat is onPosted by Alli on November 14, 2008
The weather in Chattanooga has dipped up on the thermostat by a few degrees. We were able to be outside without jackets today, even though it was cloudy and damp with the threat of rain lingering in the sky. But the thing is, I’m actually (finally) warmer than I expected, because I believe the little [...]
Looking goodPosted by Alli on November 13, 2008
My sister has been uploading more family pictures to her flickr account and I spent waaaaaay too much time looking at them this morning. I was favoriting the ones that feature me and I have to tell you, I was a cute kid. Some of the baby pictures make me wonder what the new baby [...]
Passed, Win, Score- it’s all goodPosted by Alli on November 12, 2008
This morning I conquered the orange syrup. Last time, the glucose had an unfair advantage because it was mingling with sugars already in my system. Sugars from pumpkin pie bread and pumpkin spice coffee creamer. The glucose won our last match when I had a blood sugar of 163. Today, the match started with me [...]
