thoughts from a freckle-faced pisces
Mallie Bee is home for spring break and there has been a lot of car trips back and forth to dance. The other day the subject of the Duggar family came up. Sheesh, hear we go again. Must be a new season starting. The Beester said that they are thinking about adopting. I guess if … Read more
At the end of January I was cruising one of my favorite job search sites and found a posting for a finance associate for the modern art museum here in Kansas City. I read through the qualifications and said to myself, “Guuuuurl………….you could do this.” I did some updates on my resume and sent it … Read more
The store officially closed on Sunday and things have ramped up around there lately. After the post-Christmas lull, a good closing sale kept the customers coming in, the registers humming and the employees hustling. Especially in the last week I think we’ve cleaned out dressing rooms and hung up the same clothes a few thousand … Read more
When I started this blog, I thought I might make it a decorating thing. Paint choices, pillows that I’ve sewn, crafts for every holiday.

His interest started when he made the high school golf team which required a great deal of practice. He liked to take his clubs up to the field near our house, pull out his driver and … Read more
When I was little and my mom would come and check on my sister and I before she’d go off to bed herself, I would often poke my little, curly head up and say, “I can’t sleep, Mom.” Say your prayers, Kath, she’d say. It was my mom’s answer to E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G. At dinner we’d say … Read more
The store is closing in less than three weeks and I have been cruising the job market. I went on a very promising interview last week, but no call back as of yet even though I totally rocked it. It’s a real job and I was really nervous as the interview was cancelled twice. This … Read more
After church on Saturday, Mark and I went to our favorite pizza place. It was a little hard to get to as many streets were blocked off with fire trucks. It was a show of force of emergency responders and when we got out of the car I smelled gas, which seems to be a … Read more
