The History of Blogging
Can we talk about blogging? I’m coming up on my 15-year anniversary of blogging and boy, has it ever changed. When I first started, it was shortly after we had moved from Arkansas to Pennsylvania and it was a good way to keep people apprised of our new life. I wrote rich prose about food,…
Read MoreIt’s Nice We’re Having Weather
Instead of addressing the elephant in the room, I’m going to talk about the weather. You know the elephant of which I speak, don’t you? It would be the fact that I haven’t written on my blog for over two years and, shamefully, never even finished the accounting of Katie’s wedding. I have a ton…
Read MoreBack At It
I’m back. Again. Did you miss me? No? I didn’t figure you did, but I thought I’d ask anyway. A lot has happened in the year since my last spellbinding post. For one thing, I lost the database to my blog when I switched hosts. Thankfully I had a backup, but my images didn’t transfer…
Read MoreA Loss of Focus
I’m not sure what my problem is, but I have no focus. None. I can’t even seem to write a to-do list, which is bad because I have a lot to do. But I can’t seem to land on any one thing. So I made cookies for breakfast. Because I need to go to the grocery…
Read MoreGood Things, Man
Oh my, but it’s been two-and-a-half months since my last post. I’m sure that is a great disappointment to my reader. Or readers. I think I have two, now. I have many things to tell you! 2017 is looking very promising with an awful lot to look forward to. Today I’m just going to…
Read MoreLaundry Room Tales
Hi! Let me re-introduce myself. I’m Jen. I’m full of the best intentions. So many good intentions. Really. It’s my follow through that stinks. For example, how many times over the past 10 years of this blog have I seemingly dropped off the face of the earth? That’s a rhetorical question and does not require…
Read MoreA Change of Scenery
As you can see, I’ve changed the look of my blog. I’m not sure how I feel about it. I’m not in love with the new appearance, but the old look was, you know. Old. Time for a change of scenery. Speaking of a change of scenery, I’m headed down to Myrtle Beach on Monday.…
Read MoreCutting It Close
Nothing like waiting until the very last minute. You know, my whole “I must write at least one post in a calendar month” thing. I have six hours and 16 minutes left in October so I need to write something stat! So let’s just play a little game I like to call Holy Random Stories…

Read MoreNoThanks – Day Thirty, The End
Tonight I’m thankful that I finished NoThanks! I have realized that I am not a daily blogger-type person. Or maybe it’s just that I went more than two months without writing anything and then BAM! I’m having to post something every day. And I really phoned a bunch of the posts in. Like tonight. It’s 9:00…
