Happy Birthday!

Today, seventeen years ago, I was welcomed into this world. A little bundle of joy that cost my parents a lot of hours of sleep. Thankfully they love me despite the lack of sleep. Here I am a cute little baby swaddled in her mother's arms.

Awkward Moments With The Hearing Impaired

People in my family sometimes have trouble hearing things. When they tend to mishear things I've said the results tend to be funny. One time I was singing a bit of a song that went "girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money". I looked up and saw my Mom looking at me with a rather quizzical expression. She than proceeded to ask me what I had just said. Turns out she thought I was saying "girls don't like boys, girls like cows and lemonade". We both still have no idea how she got "cows and lemonade" from "cars and money" but it gave us a good belly laugh and now offers us some funny memories to look back on.

Six Word Memoirs

This year I was presented with the challenge to write a six word memoir. This is a string of six words that are supposed to sum up your life. Hopefully they would want to be something that you'd be remembered by. It was a challenge to write one but as the more I worked at it the more I liked it. I challenge you to try writing one. I know I enjoyed it. After many versions and revisions I came up with mine: Faith gets me through, chocolate helps.

Dog Days Of Summer

Don't you just love those hot days where you can lay around just like my cousin's dog is in this picture?
