A letter to you.

Dear Bloggite, I’m here today to speak on behalf of AnnieBlogs. Ahem, Annie Downs. Annie Downs is unable currently to spend time at AnnieBlogs because she has work to do. With me. I am actually paying her bills. And I am actually important. And I have deadlines for her that she has not been meeting

Workin’ it out.

[there’s a video here, my subscriber friends, just in case you can’t see it.] Because I left my pride in 2009, I thought I’d post the clip of my segment from this weeks Get Fit Challenge. It’s the first one where we filmed at the gym. So. Obviously. I’m very proud. But seriously. I really

When it’s naptime at my nanny home, we have a routine. The boy and I read a book then I pretty much say, “peace out” and he closes his eyes and is asleep. If only it was that easy for me every night. Sheesh. The little girl is 2. So she grabs her pacy and

Tour of Homes: Annie Edition

I’m certain you all know and read Annie Parsons. Because, well, she’s one of the top Annies in the world. Annie just moved to Denver [whah whah]. I just moved to a new house in Nashville. And it is weird not knowing where she lives. And it is weird that she doesn’t live in Nashville,

City-wide.

[First of all, a big HI and HELLO to my friends from the writing workshop on Tuesday night! Yay for bloggy talk and author talk and talking too much about car repair blogs! (This is your cue to say hi back in the comments, workshop friends.) 🙂 Seriously- what a PLEASURE to meet you all

Cauliflower Soup

First of all, I am watching Jimmy Fallon and he has reunited the cast of California Dreams. And if you think I’m clapping and singing along to the theme song, you know me well. I’ll admit, I have serious questions about the current life status of some of these cast members, but if they would
