A southern Illinois family farm- sowing the seed of tomorrow, savoring the fruits of yesterday
Last night we got back to town at 1am. Our time on the party bus officially had ended! It was an interesting time. The party bus was so cool but not conductive to an 8 hour drive, things were a bit tight and uncomfortable but it made for some great memories. We had a great […]

Here they are: baby shocked outlet – so the baby wasn’t shocked it was doing the shocking? teeni shock – who shocked teeni? Leave her […]
After spending 12 hours in Disneyland yesterday I am just not motivated to do anything today! Unfortunately we are heading back to Disneyland for the band kids performance and then we will have 4 hours for shopping or ride riding before we load our bus and head home. We road to California in this tricked […]

Now I know you are all excited to see how last nights performance went huh? When the 26 year old dance teacher performs with the students everyone wants to watch just to see if she will make an a$$ out of her self huh? Wait, no that is just how I think about myself! Oops. […]
I remember being a kid and hearing the whole “you can do anything you set your mind to” spiel. There were songs about it, Disney movies on the concept and of course your parents and teachers would preach it over and over, so is it true? Can you REALLY do anything you set your mind […]
Lets see I had Monday off from teaching for memorial day but had to show the house to a bunch of inspectors. I teach my class tomorrow and will perform with my students Wednesday night in a hip-hop routine that is a bit out of my comfort zone. N also leaves for Evansville Wednesday so […]
Have I mentioned that I LOVE freecycle? Well, I do. Yesterday we tackled cleaning out the closet. I have an abundance of clothes, shoes and a variety of other crap that is not being used and it is just pointless to keep lugging it around from home to home as we move. So we plugged […]
A few years ago on memorial day weekend I almost lost my life. A mechanic that worked on our car used zip ties to put it back together and surprisingly they came loose while I was driving home from my mothers house. It was a rough weekend that almost changed my life but I was […]
While N and I were grocery shopping and running various errands I was behaving badly and didnt even know it! We picked a bad day to go grocery shopping, everyone else was out doing the same thing! This means craziness in the isles. Shoppers are chowing down at sample tables like they are a feeding […]
For mothers day weekend I visited my mom and got to enjoy all the baby chickens she had hatched. I also got to see one hatching! My mom got a nifty little video camera for her birthday/ mothers day and since then I have been twisting her arm about starting a blog. Today she finally […]

I have some good news to share! My bathroom scale read 103 last night, which means I weigh about 108 now! Looks like I have successfully gained some weight since seeing my lady doctor in April. My cycles are not improved yet and I suspect my period is on the way but I am going […]
Last week was the first week of being forced to showed our current rental home. The owners decided to put it back on the market 3 months into our 6 month lease. So, I was home last Friday when this Native American couple came with their agent to tour the home. The showing was fairly […]
Good lord it is hot here! Last night it was about 80 degrees inside our home (from the days heat) and about 60 degrees outdoors at 10 pm! A 60 degree night time high is considered quite WARM here and we were baking. We went through the storage shed and dug out the fans, set […]
Yesterday N and I went out with many of his work friends to celebrate a bunch of things all at once. One employee was leaving the company and two others just had birthdays, so we went out for Thai food and a few drinks at the bar. Thai food was okay, I had never tried […]
Create your own puzzles at PuzzleBee.com! Just a pretty photo I snapped of my blue girl rose bush the day it snowed, May 2008.
Pardon this random thoughts blog post, I am forced to stay off my foot (I banged up my left ankle and need to keep it elevated and iced) so I am forced to sit here over thinking stuff. My over thinking goes hand in hand with my writing so that has resulted in me blabbing […]
