What I've been doing
I’m still at home. I’ve been getting some footage on my new Flip HD; however, I didn’t bring my laptop home, so I’ll be uploading in January. I just got back from visiting with a friend from high school Tabatha and her 1 year old Ashtyn. She got a super sweet Barbie 4-wheeler for Xmas…it’s for little girls of course. She’s a sweetie pie. She even sings...

It's the most wonderful time of the yearrrrr...
When…
everyone at work is running around and might as well be screaming, “The sky is falling!! The sky is falling!!”
I want to leave said work and grab a large beverage.
Carolina basketball is in full swing.
I’m e-mailing my mom to remind her of all the food I’d like to be stocked in the fridge by tomorrow night.
I have already packed my car with half of my...

Margarita Night
Tonight, Erin, Heather and I ate at Dos Taquitos. Erin and I had $11 margaritas and quesadillas. Yay for girlie night!
Tonight, I'm missing...
Music. Not just any old music. I’m missing being a part of the music and performing. All of it. Not the uniform so much. Definitely not. I was a member of a band from age 11 to 23. Middle school, high school…concert, marching and jazz. All-County Band. All-Carolina Band.
And I was a Marching Tar Heel. A dream come true. I found myself surrounded by 300+ people that loved music just as...
Note to self
Don’t try to make yourself feel better for ordering the kid’s meal at Zaxby’s. It came with 2 tiny pieces of chicken and 8 fries. It’s 4:00, and I am STARVING.
Winter Song
This is my winter song to you. The storm is coming soon, it rolls in from the sea My voice; a beacon in the night. My words will be your light, to carry you to me.
Is love alive? Is love alive? Is love… They say that things just cannot grow beneath the winter snow, or so I have been told. They say we’re buried far, just like a distant star I simply cannot hold. Is love alive? This...

If I didn’t already have a Chumby, I’d have to have this.

Dustin
One of my friends from high school and beyond got engaged last night. I just had to share that with you all because it’s not one of those engagements you send a mass text or e-mail about. It’s a guy friend and I really don’t know her very well, but I’m still happy for them and wanted to share.
They moved from North Carolina to South Dakota earlier this year…after...
Xmas List
I’ve already sent out my Xmas list, yet I keep finding things I want. I normally do not scour the web for things I like, but now it’s hard to stop.
Today’s addition…
Balloon Kid
So, I don’t know if we’ll ever do it…but Shawn and I want to have a little experiment. We want to start letting go balloons and see where they will go. We haven’t thought through the idea much, but it was inspired by this little tale.
One day when I was about 3 years old, a bunch of balloons started landing in our yard. When I try to remember, it seems like there were...
My favorite times
Are when we laugh so hard our faces hurt.
Still alive
I’m still here. In case you were beginning to miss me. I’ve been taking time off from life I suppose. Here’s a quick rundown of my Thanksgiving vacation.
Tuesday - Left work later than I wanted to. Drove 30 minutes in the opposite direction from home to pick up my frozen turkey and kitty (Gypsy). Drove to Chadbourn and unloaded Gypsy, kissed my parents and carried the turkey to...
