The Snapshots

Be good to one another.

I might have mentioned that I’ve basically been on an all-carb diet since about October. But no more. The hot weather means less clothing and that means more vegetables. It’s basic math. Also, we’re growing lots of things in the back yard. And they’re all completely legal. And full of nutrients. I’m going to be [...]

I wrote a post on Hitting Refresh today that started to be about our trip to see the Harlem Globetrotters this past weekend. But then it turned into something about Beyonce and gender equality and pantsing. It includes a few choice quotes from Harry: Harry regarding the GOP candidates: “It’s weird, Mom.

It’s the week before Christmas, and all thorough my mother in law’s house, I’m coughing and sneezing, and really just trying not to get everyone else sick. I’m not myself. My voice is almost gone.

Did I ever tell you about the day I met Wendi McLendon-Covey and she said that she would be my best friend forever? Well, that shit happened, y’all. After some negotiation, I said she would have to share the spot with my other BFF Jenny…(if only because Jenny helped me come up with my questions [...]

Photo by Karen Walrond. We are spending this last weekend of summer with good friends in Port Aransas. The beach rental is gorgeous. The rum punch is plentiful.
