In January, I went with my mom to Idaho to be with her mom. My Grandma. She was dying. There really is no easy way to say that, but death is inevitably a part of life. It was an experience I will never forget. And because of that experience, this post is somewhat difficult to write. Not because of the fact that she is gone, no, but because of all of the emotions that I experienced in those 3 short days.
So many emotions.
Someday I will tell you about it, but not today.

Today would have been her 89th birthday.
Today I want to remember the good she gave to this life, to this world, and to me.
Thank you Grandma.
For your sacrifices, for your love, for your daughter. For my mom.
Happy 89th birthday.

Thank you Em, thank you for remembering and for loving her. She was a grand lady and first and foremost, she was my mom.

I wonder if my man will ever grow his hair out? Don't you think that when a man has hair that is thick and rich like a man's hair should be, it should be long? No man-bun style though. Bleh. Kinda like this... But seriously. Who didn't have a crush on Grizzly Adams?  Hunta boi is playing football again. This year, the 2016-17 school year, will be his last year playing high school football. Say what?!? For reals. He's a senior y'all. A SENIOR. Can you hear my panic? Did you just see my eyeballs pop out of my head, roll across the floor, gather dust mites and come a rollin' back to me? That means we (I) only have a limited time left with him at home. The days are slipping away like seconds on a clock. Much as I try, I can't seem to stop that mean old man, Father Time, and his clock that is tick-tick-tocking away. Though I must say, we are SO proud of who he is growing up to be. Of who he is today. And we really are very excited to see where his lif...

I know I've told you before, but I'll say it again. I love to get my hair done. There's just something about having someone else play with my hair that puts me into a hypnotic state. It's soooo relaxing, and I love the feeling of fresh, soft, just done-by-someone-else hair. It's also something that I don't do often for 2 reasons: 1) I'm lazy and don't like having to maintain my hair. 2) It can get pretty pricey. It may be because I fell into one of those hypnotic states that the following disaster occurred. I guess my first clue of impending doom should have been when my stylist decided to get her nails done. At the same time that I showed up for my appointment. Now, I'm a compassionate person, I didn't think it was a big deal, so I shrugged it off, and waited patiently for her to finish. My next sign on the road to "bad hair-dom" was when she asked the stylist next to her what colors were used on my hair previously, because she j...
