Bless Your Heart

Living out loud in the Carolinas

Month: January 2007

  • My Pappy died today at 1:15pm. He’s my father’s father. A retired minister and WW2 veteran with a sharp wit and a big heart under a gruff exterior. He’s the one who went blind from diabetes and would watch his giant plasma tv with his binoculars. He met my Nanny during the war over in…

  • So, as we’ve discussed, CSP & I have been discussing what to do about our adoption. I’ve been praying on it every night. Well, I’ve been praying for children for a loooong time, but just recently I’ve been asking for guidance and direction about our adoption and what to do. I know some might find…

  • The week before Christmas I saw The Holiday. It was really cute (definitely a chick flick) and was based around the premise of home exchange . Basically Kate Winslet & Cameron Diaz, well their characters, swap homes for 2 weeks. I think it’s a great idea. And the website featured in the movie is real.…

  • I was eating my cereal while checking my email this morning. The pugs were begging to lick my empty bowl (even though I still had a ways to go). I told them “Girls, it doesn’t help you get my bowl faster when you scratch up Mommy’s legs.”Then Jon yells from the family room “Shred her!“…

  • This is why: that is my family room ceiling. Note the sexy builder’s choice light. Our master bedroom, dining room, and breakfast room ceilings look the same way. This is why we still have boxes all over the house that remain unpacked. Our lovely builder, CP Morgan left our house in a wreck and said…

  • My husband and pugs are currently napping in our bedroom closet. By choice. My life is never boring.

  • At our old house we had a chalkboard wall with a calendar on it. I missed having a calendar in plain sight. I realized my Crayola glass markers worked on the fridge and I was back in business!

  • I got my stitches out on Friday. That’s what my wound looked like before. It’s healing pretty nicely now. My doctor said I’m doing really well. I still have some achey pain if I try and lift anything too heavy or bend my hand a certain way, but I can’t tell you how cool it…

  • I read about Project 365 over at Shanntastic and I’m in baby. I already take my camera everywhere I go and I like the idea of looking back on your year and seeing a little of your life each day. I remember one day when we photographed our whole day. A bunch of us bloggy…
