The phone rang at my house on the morning of February 25th. As I answered the phone I heard not only my mother, but even my father singing “Happy Birthday” to me. I commented on how surprised I was that he was singing as well. He responded by saying, “You must be pretty special for […]
This is a new blog project for Amy over at Bring Yourself. As Amy writes here: “This project is about learning in a different way. I want to learn different things. Instead of big, earth shattering things, I want to learn things that are important to me. I want to find things out about myself […]
Yesterday, February 25th, was my birthday. As birthdays go it was pretty normal for me. A regular day with nothing really special other than general well wishes, a couple of cards, and a fantastic homemade ice cream cake. My birthdays in adulthood are not nearly as great as I remember my childhood ones to have […]
. What do we think about the relationship between Rhett and Scarlett? They get off to a pretty rocky start with him secretly witnessing her little plight to get Ashley to say he loves her, and not Melanie. Rhett sticks it to her about how she is NOT a lady, although he likes that about […]
Simple Woman’s Daybook FOR TODAY: Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010… Outside my window…the fresh snow has fallen and made a new blanket of white.

I wonder to myself, how many mothers out there feel as though the fathers in the family […]
Chloe and I spent the afternoon at one of her friends’ houses for a birthday party this weekend. Her mother asked me if I had seen this comedian on YouTube who does this funny ” Momisms” song. Since I had not seen it, she pulled it up for me. It is Anita Renfroe doing “Total […]
I am starting this update out with a question for those of you that watched the movie before reading the book. Do you think you would have seen the whole Scarlett marries Ashley thing coming? I for one, did NOT see that coming. I also thought it was a strange contrast to what I have […]
Everyone knows it is like a right of passage to leave your crib or toddler bed and head into your “big-kid” bed! For each of our children it was a fun and exciting time. Unbeknownst to Chloe she had to move on because there was another sibling on the way who would need the crib. […]
Many of you have been wondering and asking about my goal of reading Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell. I appreciate all the encouragement and support from all of you. Until this week I had not made very much progress. The copy I took out of the library was the Avon copy. The print […]
