I spent the day running around like a maniac, doing errands. Among other things, I was getting ready for doing another NewsChannel 13 Live at Noon spot on Friday. I’m talking about Mother’s Day activities, both craftiness and stuff to do. Not to spoil it or anything, but part of what I did today was … [Read more…]
Okay, did you want another bathroom update, or am I driving you crazy? After a slow-and-steady climb in “likes” on Facebook, for the last week I’ve been worse than stagnant, gaining no new “likes” and losing two. It’s enough to make a gal paranoid–what am I doing that’s making me less likeable? Wait. Don’t answer … [Read more…]
Hey! Gorgeous weekend, huh? I was a little bummed that I’d committed all of Saturdays indoors at the Albany Children’s Book Festival, but it was a fun day. People associated with kids’ books–writers, illustrators, or fans–are just delightful. And thank you to those of you who stopped by to say hi. I’ve been feeling not-too-great … [Read more…]
While in Savannah in February, I was sitting next to my sister, who had a big plate of delicious shrimp and grits in front of her. I’d had them before, so I knew they were good, but she just shook her head. “They’re not as good as Dad’s. You have to get him to make … [Read more…]
Last night I found out at the last minute that we’d scored three passes to Peter Pan at Proctors. I was pretty much astounded by how good Cathy Rigby was, and more so once I went home and looked up her age. Then I was amazed. Anyway, here’s my official Review of Cathy Rigby is … [Read more…]
So let me catch y’all up on my spring break. On Thursday we headed south to see Taylor Swift, and from there we headed south. We made a stop at Monticello on Friday and arrived at my parents’ house on Saturday. Ahhh, it’s lovely there, in beautiful Savannah. Here’s the view from the kitchen sink: … [Read more…]
I sat down on the couch telling myself that I just wasn’t going to post tonight. I’m too grouchy. I am overtired and currently suffering from a spa-LIT-ing headache. It’s possible that the headache is because I’ve been detoxing all day, eating a massive pile of cabbage, leeks, and lettuce today after overindulging in Southern … [Read more…]
So, today, M started squooshing my face. She pinched my cheeks and moved my lips around and then she said, “Hey, have you ever noticed how, as you get older, you. . . “Then she stopped. She is a clever girl. “Noticed what?” I demanded. “Uhhh. . . .” “Have I noticed that I’ve become … [Read more…]
Recently I was gifted with a stack of glossy fashion-and-beauty magazines. I don’t buy these magazines myself. I am fussy about magazines, really. Mostly because they make me feel covetous and inadequate. Fitness magazines make me feel unfit, house-and-garden magazines make me loathe my house, and beauty-and-fashion magazines, predictably enough, tend to make me feel … [Read more…]
Guess what? Local legend Ginny Martin has offered up a copy of her brand-new DVD called Dance Class at Home as a giveaway! Actually, I convinced her to offer up two copies, but the other one is for KidsOutAndAbout, which you would already know if you subscribed to the weekly KidsOutAndAbout.com newsletter like you totally should be. … [Read more…]
