” ‘Get on, warriors,’ said the Tarkaan. ‘Kill the beasts, but take the two-legged ones alive.’

And then the last battle of the last King of Narnia began.

What made it hopeless, even apart from the numbers of the enemy was the spears… In a way it wasn’t quite so bad as you might think.When you are using every muscle to the full-you haven’t much time to feel either frightened or sad…

He remembered everything now, and he realized that the enemy had been edging him into the stable on purpose ever since the fight began…  Read more... (188 words, estimated 45 secs reading time)

A Peek Inside The Mind Of A Crazy Woman

Let me explain something to you. I know nothing about growing things. I rely on the expertise of others and my own failed experimentation. But I love flowers and greenery and pretty things, and I want my home surrounded with them. My grandfather had flower beds and rose bushes and huge vegetable gardens covering his yard, and his thumb is greener than anyone’s I know. Me? I have a black thumb. Nothing survives my hand. But I try.  Read more... (751 words, estimated 3:00 mins reading time)

This was waiting for me when I got home (along with balloons and homemade cards and flowers). The kids wanted me to have something to sleep with since I couldn’t have Daddy with me and they didn’t want me to be alone anymore.

So, I spoke with a doctor today… finally! He was very pleasant with his British accent and calling my Bri a “clever fellow” because he was impressed with how much Bri actually understood about what was going on with my radiation and half-life and nuclear medicine. I glowed and bragged about how intelligent my husband is, because, well, he is. Extremely intelligent. In fact, there are days when I just sit in awe of how much he knows. He’s the brains, I’m the beauty… well, except for the fact that he’s beautiful, too. So I guess he’s the brains and the beauty. I just waste time frying my brains watching the train wreck that is The Tyra Banks Show. Did I just say that? Seriously, y’all. I watched her one time. One time. And I think I lost half my brain cells. AAUUGGHH!  Read more... (580 words, estimated 2:19 mins reading time)

Today I fell in love with Brian’s smile all over again (he has the best smile EVER).

Today I had coffee with my mom (delectable nectar).

Today I took a huge bite of onion rings and sighed deeply (mouth-watering good).

Today I sat across the table from my hubby and my friend and I ate in a public place (instead of my bedroom at my parents’ house).

Today I looked at two little old ladies and a little old man coming into Dave’s and told Bri and Stat how that was us in 50 years (Stat was the one in the trendy sunglasses).  Read more... (342 words, estimated 1:22 mins reading time)
