Autumn & Jerry

Just about this time last year (March 1st to be exact!) we had a wonderful snow day. I played outside all day, taking breaks only to alternate pairs of gloves when they got soaked through, tossing one pair in the dryer & tugging the others on. I made a tiny snowman, took beautiful pictures of [...]

My baby brother’s band, Rise with Honor,  is awesome, and they’re gaining steam while sharing their music all over the state of Georgia. Last month Jerry & I had the pleasure of doing a photoshoot with them that is now featured on their all new & updated website. I admire Cason for what he’s doing, [...]

This is an email I received from Planned Parenthood, and I think it makes some very valid points that are often overlooked when people think of what the organization stands for. Read on: By now you’ve most likely heard all about it — the anti-choice group Focus on the Family is spending millions to run [...]

Today is my mother’s birthday – I hope it’s a wonderful, happy day because she deserves it! We celebrated last night with a lovely dinner of her choice, followed by good conversation & cheer over coffee at ABC. Great night with great people. I love you, Mom – thanks for always being my #1 fan! [...]

Today was a very productive day – after waking early for a dental appointment, I resisted returning straight to bed and broke out the books instead. I made some major study progress with biology, and feel better about my upcoming test. I have a sociology test on the same day, but at least there is [...]

A few days ago Jerry sent me a link to an article in the New York Times that raved about the wonders of pressure cookers. I read the sample recipe, and had to admit that it did sound like a valuable kitchen gadget. We looked at a few reviews online, and last night we dashed [...]

This is where I spend my afternoons on campus. Twice a week I go to the Macon State College Wellness Center between classes, and I work out as hard as I can – I burn fat, I release energy, and I cut stress. I sweat…I mean glisten. I gladly enter my hard-earned data on DailyMile [...]

Jerry found out about this nifty little gadget a few months ago thanks to Wired magazine, and it was perfect for us. Not only was it affordable, garnering excellent reviews from tough critics, and appealing to my coffee connoisseur hubby, but our beloved french press had been broken by someone sweet who shall remain nameless. [...]

and I spent it at work! I suppose the 5th floor of a large hospital is a much safer place to be than in my own house, but there is something quite disconcerting about being responsible for yourself plus several injured & ill people during inclement weather. We started the shift by moving all the [...]

Ever since the groundhog saw his shadow, it’s been feeling very wintry! Check out that temp – and it feels like 12 degrees! I believe it, having just come in from work & the gym. Brrrrr…it’s time to crawl under the beloved electric blanket and catch a nap to warm me up. Hooray for 3 [...]
