I love…d… holidays. All of them but Halloween was my favorite. It was fun to dress up as someone {or something} else, walk around the neighborhood with all your friends, and have strangers give you candy {Remember this was the 80’s and 90’s when as long as there weren’t any razor blades in your candy […]
{I’m speaking from experience here…of both…}You don’t just break a rib – it’s not like you turn the wrong way or get up out of the chair funny and **oops** you broke a rib. Something has to HAPPEN; you get in a fight, fall down a flight of stairs, get kicked by a horse…something powerful.The wind is instantly […]
I’ve been married for longer than I’d like to admit {so long, in fact, I tell people to got married at 16 so I don’t give away my true age (12 years in May)}. Last year, the hubs and I decided it was time to do a financial ‘physical’ – basically we just went through […]
So, I’ve dubbed 2017 the year of the healthy Crystal {OK, maybe just healthy-ER Crystal}. I started the year off by going back to the doctor, getting back on some of the meds that I should have been on all along, focusing on the diet and exercise…just generally doing the things I should have always […]
May is a tough month for me: You see, pretty much everything that has ever happened in my life has happened in the month of May – the good and the…well…not so good.I got engaged in May and a year later married in May. I graduated with all {2} of my degrees in May. I […]
…OK…so I didn’t really die – but I thought I might and I actually wanted too…I went to the doctor today for a check up, something I haven’t done since 2011 {put down your torches, my bad, I know!} This is the doctor that I found when I first discovered I was pregnant with Madelyn, the […]
I feel pretty proud of myself right now {Ha! Who am I kidding, I can always find something to be proud of myself for…always…} A friend of mine {Amanda over at The Next 7 Years} nominated me for The Liebster Award. It’s an award for new bloggers given by bloggers. ‘Real’ or not, it was […]
I intended to write about Gene Wilder this week and why I {along with so many others} are grieving his death…but for some reason, it just didn’t resonate in my heart – at least not like this quote did.Ever since I found this quote earlier this week I haven’t been able to get it out of […]
Remember a couple weeks ago when I promised my ‘famous’ recipe? …Don’t worry I forgot too…until just now. So, I decided to whip up a batch of my super easy ‘brownies’.And super easy is right! Two ingredients, a bowl and a spoon {or Target spoon-tula if you’re fancy like me}. I perfected this ‘recipe’ in the […]
It can go to hell and it can die! {Brownie points if you get the reference}Today snuck up on me like nothing has snuck up on my before. Today is the first day of school. No big deal really…or so I thought. Now I just have to leave a little earlier to get to the […]
