Let me start by saying that I’m blaming this entire experience on visiting this place with The Boy: The Cockroach Hall of Fame – in Plano, TX I think the chemicals messed with my mind. At least that’s my story and I’m sticking with it. So, The Boy and I made a stop on the […]

And Another Fort Worth Food Find
One can’t survive on a single meal, regardless of how delicious it is (oh, Lonesome Dove Bistro, you made us so happy!). Off we headed post-marathon to another of Chef Tim Love’s restaurants, the Love Shack. Also located in the historic Stockyards, the Love Shack is little more than that – a shack. Or rather, […]
Fort Worth Food Find
While we were in Fort Worth the other weekend, we stopped for a late lunch at a restaurant I’d been wanting to try for some time, the Lonesome Dove Bistro. Tucked away in the historic Stockyards, Lonesome Dove is Chef Tim Love’s flagship restaurant. Don’t know Chef Tim Love? If you watch the Food Network, […]
Out for a Drive
Sometimes I meander on the way to work. I’m sure that comes as no shock to those who know me well. Shannah? Meander? Never. (ha!) But it’s true – I like a good meander. It’s fun to drive a different way, see different things, visit former neighborhoods and discover new neighborhoods. Do you think that’s […]
Can You Say “Oops”?
February was a very busy month for the Hayleys and I’m not even very sure why. It involved trips out of town, work deadlines, an ice storm and, of course, a marathon. It was so busy that there were several days that we drove separate cars to work – me in the trusty family sedan […]
Job Titles {aka – having a bit of fun}
My company is privately held, governed by our shareholders. The shareholders elect officers for the various leadership roles. Blah-blah-blah, I know. But there’s a point to this backgrounder. At the office holiday party, the new slate of officers was announced which gave me an opportunity to rib our new president a little. I just made […]
Sometimes Patience Pays Off
Three years ago, a colleague gave me an African Violet for Christmas. In the meantime, I’ve faithfully watered my African Violet, repotted it and stripped dead leaves. I’ve cared for it like no other plant I’ve owned. All for no reward whatsoever, other than bright green leaves. That’s right, for three years my African Violet has refused to […]
Editing Skills Needed
Spotted at the Tex-Mex joint we visited the other week: I don’t think that drinking and driving laws were changed to prohibit responsible drinking and driving.
The Doctor Said It, So It Must Be True
I am normal. I am better than normal, in fact, thankyouverymuch! That’s right – I had my first-ever skin exam yesterday and the dermatologist told me that my skin was “perfectly normal. Better than what we’d expect to see from a fair-skinned person.” And that made me exceedingly happy. I’d been so nervous about my […]
A Just Becauses For Me!
Speaking of Just Becauses, I had a Just Because land on my desk. I think it’s The Best Card of The Year. Bet you’re wondering what it says inside, aren’t you? Me, too. And it was worth the anticipation! After I finished laughing, I thanked my friend for the levity break and the “thoughtful” card. […]
