Death of a Six Foot Teddy Bear

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

Multnomah sent me another book! It’s a little mystery, a little chick-lit, a little bargain shopper! It’s a fun little mystery called, Death of a Six Foot Teddy Bear by Sharon Dunn. Sounds like a great poolside read, right? (And I oughta know…)
Here’s the excerpt from Multnomah:
Another murder mystery for the Bargain [...]

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

(wrote this yesterday…just now posting…) 
I’m on the plane. On my way to the SUNNY state of Georgia! Who’d ever think Atlanta would seem balmy in February? As we left our spa, everyone was talking about how it was so warm because the temperature was finally out of the negatives. * brrr * Can you imagine?
Today [...]

What Year is This?

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

I feel like I have been in four states, two timezones, thirty cities and at least three different ages. Mama and I have driven all over the central part of Minnesota today. I want to tell you all about it but it will take me days to organize my pictures. We’ve been looking at cemeteries, [...]

The One In Which I Sob

Saturday, February 16th, 2008

I usually keep up to date with Shannon from Rocks in My Dryer and Sophie aka Boomama. And I knew (and was insanely jealous) that they were going to Uganda with Compassion International. Live blogging about the lives of children who need love and Jesus? That’s my kinda gig.
For whatever reason, I missed out on [...]

Why I Loved Valentine’s Day

Friday, February 15th, 2008

2. Les brought me tulips. He brought Lydia roses. She’s been carrying them around and sniffing them all day.
3. We ordered Itlaian [...]
