Thursday, February 2, 2012. Letter to myself, 5 years ago. I happened to glance over at my picture on my profile here on blogger today. Me, 5 years younger. Sparkling blue eyes. Skinny! In my early 20s and idealistic. Excited to be a part of something bigger than myself. I found myself staring into those eyes, my eyes 5 years ago, wanting to somehow speak to her. You will get back on stage. You will. And you'll be scared to death. And you'll love it. You will be loved. Don't forget that. Even whe...Oh - ...

Friday, May 13, 2011. And it is hot, hot, hot! We've been rockin' 90 degree temperatures daily for a while now and my struggling deodorant is proof. I just spent a few minutes outside chatting with one of the ladies here at the mission and I am steamy mess right now. What can I say though? I love the sunshine. It's a beautiful thing that I enjoy greatly (ahem.from indoors). We chatted about house rentals (so hard to find the right one! I'll give you a closer look -. Do you know what they are? Who knew mi...

Thursday, September 8, 2011. You know a story is going to be sweet when the main characters are named Fern and Leon. And this is the real kind, not made up. Although I may someday write a children's book with main characters by those names. Because I'm smitten. On Saturday I was struggling with our little lawn mower to try to mow a few weeks' worth of grass and weeds. I'm not exactly known for my physical prowess, so I was struggling a bit. Every few minutes I had to stop and dump grass clippings. Septem...

simply thoughts: follow through
http://abbyatyourfeet.blogspot.com/2011/09/follow-through.html
Wednesday, September 21, 2011. As I've gotten older, I've noticed that I talk out my ideas. When I say, "I think I will audition for a play" or "I think I'm going to make a skirt out of a men's dress shirt" or "I think I'll cut off all of my hair," what I mean is that I've thought of an idea and I'm throwing it out there so I can process. But every once in a while I actually do one of the things I say I will. Oh, how adorable! September 21, 2011 at 11:24 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Livin' Lif...

Monday, November 8, 2010. Who was i kidding? I really thought i could get future posts done, the last time i posted. even though i posted just days before our next training group came. even though the internet was out at my house. i was optimistic. today i'll just say that this is a post for now and maybe eventually another one will follow. :-) how's that for honest! Like, did i tell you about how i fell over the gas pump two weeks ago? God is so good. Things she is thankful for everyday. i love it!

simply thoughts: pithy little complaints
http://abbyatyourfeet.blogspot.com/2011/09/pithy-little-complaints.html
Wednesday, September 7, 2011. I made beignets Monday night. Pillowy, doughnutty, wonderfulnesses. Yes, I am aware that every word in my last sentence is made up. These aren't mine. I forgot to take a picture of mine. These are Paula Deen's. But they don't have butter in them. Go figure. So - one of these days I'll remember that I have a fancy phone now with a camera and I will take pictures of such things. Someday. It is really nothing to complain about, but as a card-carrying girl, I just don't like it.

simply thoughts: Run?
http://abbyatyourfeet.blogspot.com/2011/09/run.html
Saturday, September 24, 2011. I completely forgot what I was planning on writing about in my last entry. About follow through (aside from my haircut)! You see, last month when I was in Indiana, I was hopeful. I was motivated. I even downloaded an app on my phone. I was going to run. It seemed so possible back then. Of course, optimism seems to rise when the temperature is a high of 85 degrees with a lovely breeze. So, running was out. At least until January. So I thought, "I'll buy a bike! Ok, take this ...

Saturday, January 15, 2011. My kitchen is mocking me. Seriously. my kitchen is mocking me. while the rest of my house is packed up or already bare in preparation for my move across town today, my kitchen sits, untouched. It's listed on my to-do list as, "Pack Kitchen - ugggg! Maybe it was that can-do spirit that got me to this point. Magnets still on the fridge. pan of brownies on the stove. avocado ripening on the counter. full cabinets, stocked fridge. i don't even know where to begin. Who knew mission...

Friday, March 25, 2011. Mom and dad were in town a few weeks ago. during that time we decided to do a "swamp boat" tour on the everglades. it was exciting for all of us, including me, since i don't often do the "touristy" things around here. Just on the boat - momma and her sister, my aunt marilyn. Daddy and i after we took off. the boats were loud - requiring our awesome headgear! Another boat with an unexpected ride-along! A funny bird is a pelican.his mouth can hold more than his belly-can! While look...
