Due to months of sleep deprivation, I am unable to write a coherent paragraph. (It's a very good thing that it's summer, and that I don't have to go to school.) A lot of things have happened lately, both good and bad, and I would like to tell you about them, but because of my mental fuzziness, I will have to share them in bullet-form. Those kind of posts have always annoyed me, but here we go.
- I had coffee and ganache-covered Wacky Cake for breakfast. This is going to be a good day.
- As of June 9th, I have been married for two years. It feels like two weeks.
- Last week, Terry, Thomas, and I loaded up my SUV with camping gear, drove to Azel, TX, pitched a tent, and spent a week at Harmony Hill Singing School. It. Was. Awesome. The Primitive Baptist Church is unique in that they have no instruments in their worship service, but sing all hymns acapella, in four-part harmony. The week-long singing school teaches children how to read music by using shape notes, and the adults who have mastered sight-reading sing Sacred Harp music.
- Levi's Curvy Jeans. Finally, jeans that don't gap at the waist or feel like shrink-wrap on my hips. Not to brag (too much)
, but who knew that having an hourglass figure could make shopping so difficult?
- I cannot multi-task, but I can multi-emotion. Things get very confusing.
- Thomas is amazing. In one week, he took his first steps, learned to give kisses, learned to point at objects and people, and got his third tooth. That boy is growing fast. Another amazing--and shocking--thing is that he loves guacamole and salmon.
- I am currently restringing and restyling jewelry for my very first jewelry client. It's my hope that this will be the start of something new for me, and that I can spend the rest of my life working for myself. I've been thinking about going ahead and applying for a small business license, but I haven't settled on a name.
There's more, but it will have to come at a later time. Dishes and laundry call me. I hope this short note finds you all happy and well.

Good to hear you are doing (mostly) well. I think we are due some new pix of Thomas since he's growing so fast!
I wonder what is "ganache-covered"? LOL. Never heard of it! Belated happy 2nd anniversary to you and Terry! And I agree with you, jeans-shopping for my hourglass figure is not easy, haha. Btw, love the term "multi-emotion" - I know EXACTLY what you mean. :)
P.S. Don't forget to let us know what the name of your new jewellery shop is, okay! :)
Sounds like good times are definitely outweighing the bad! Good to read you again!
ooh, I love how a cappella four part harmony sounds. it's absolutely amazing.
It's fun to get these little glimpses into your life.
Congrats on the 2 years! We're about a month short of 3, and I still feel like a newlywed. I like that feeling.
I'm gonna have to keep my eye out for those jeans!
I'm glad Thomas is an adventurous eater. I think that makes parents' life much easier. We took my bro and his wife and 1yr old and 3yr old to Greek food and my nephews were crazy about it. It was so fun watching them be tentative at first and then to have the 3yr old announce that each item is his FAVORITE!
@yourheadispunk - I'll see about getting some new ones up.
@bella_esperanza - Ganache is a chocolate sauce. The one I like best calls for melted chocolate, cream, milk, and melted butter. Stir it all together and it is YUM-MY!
congradz on ur 2 year anniversary and ur baby taking his/hers first step...u must be proud
You weren't far away from me at all when you went to singing camp!
And I am stoked about those curvy jeans! I am going to go shopping soon. I feel it!
I am glad to see you back.
