Today, I met Jennifer McKinney, better known in the blog world as MckMama, and her family, including her youngest son Stellan. Some would (will) wonder why I and dozens of other folks would go out in 45 degree weather — and in 45 degree RAINY weather, no less — to meet people “from the Internet.” [...]

If you don’t know Anissa, she’s a blogger who lives in the Atlanta area. She had a massive stroke on Tuesday and then another stroke at some point thereafter. Since then, lots and lots and lots of folks who hang out in her corner of the Internet have been rallying around her in various ways. [...]

Earlier this spring, Ed and I went to a bridal shower where neither of us had ever met the bride. I didn’t think much of it a) because I knew the groom (it was a Jack and Jill shower) and b) because I’d had my gum surgery 8 days earlier, so I had bigger things [...]

On the way home from work today, I came thisclose to getting in an accident. I was heading into the shopping center where Curves is. A car leaving the shopping center got confused about how the parking lot works and was trying to turn left onto the main road using the lane for people turning [...]

As we were waiting for the trainer to bring out the dog we’d be using to work with Fox, Ed and I had this conversation:
Me: Is the sun hitting me? I’m afraid I’ll burn.
Ed: [...]

As you would expect, fall comes late to Georgia. But this photo taken yesterday at Arabia Mountain demonstrates that it’s on its way.
We were at Arabia Mountain for our first hike with Atlanta Unleashed, an (often) off-leash Meetup group.
Fox wasn’t able to come on this hike. He’s working through some fear issues, and we weren’t [...]

Ed cut my bangs tonight. It was his first time cutting bangs.
Pretty good, huh?
I feel SO MUCH better. From the length of my shorter bangs, you can get an idea of how long they had been. I just couldn’t wait one more minute. Ahhhh…

I’m not a big traveler. I’ve been out of the United States once, in 2004, when I went to Nicaragua on a mission trip. Most trips while I was growing up were to visit family. The first “real” vacation I can remember was a trip I took to NYC when I was 24. I like [...]
