Would you believe?

That I’m blogging from the Kennesaw public library? Yeah, it’s weird. I’m not 100% sure how it happened- I came to return books, decided instead of dropping them off to come in and pay my fine (all of $2) and then got sucked in to the free computer access. I have a few minutes until

It’s a proven fact….I hate August.

This is my least favorite month of the year. It’s just too hot. 31 days of hot. And it’s not “lazy days of summer” hot, it’s “get dressed for school and then take kids out to recess and smell them all day” hot. Ewww. I’ve owed you a good blog for a while. I’m afraid,

CAMP BLOG HERE! At some point pre-Scotland (which is tomorrow afternoon! Augh!), I want to blog about my experience

Anti-selfish at 27.

I turned 27 yesterday. 07-07-07. The birthday I’ve waited my entire life for. Truly. I’ve always loved 7s. In fact, my soccer number from 6th grade up, 19 seasons total (including school and rec) was 21- 3 7s. Except for my freshman year at Sprayberry- some senior was already 21, so we took a piece
