Now that Kelly’s finger has healed, twice a week we’re heading to the pool to swim laps. Yes…swimming laps. I haven’t swum laps since swimming lessons and I don’t want to think about how many years ago that was. Kelly’s never swum laps before – in fact, he’s never taken swimming lessons. I’m his instructor […]
101 list
Gospel Brunch Time
I’ve wanted to go to a gospel brunch for-ev-er. For a while, I thought we might attend one at the House of Blues in Dallas, but those were offered less frequently over the years and it didn’t feel right to miss a service with our own church family to attend a brunch downtown. Kelly and […]
Bats, Bats and More Bats
I only had two things I really wanted to do during our weekend in Austin – ok three, if you count spending relaxed time with my spouse. First, I wanted to go to Stubb’s for a gospel brunch (more on that tomorrow). Second, I wanted to see the bats fly. For those who don’t know, […]
Celebrating the Fourth on the Third
Kelly and I went to Addison’s Kaboom Town last night. It’s somewhat sad that we’ve lived in Dallas (off-and-on) for 16+ years and I worked in the Addison area for 11 years, but we’d never gone to Kaboom Town before last night. What’s up with that? Apparently, Kaboom Town is one of the top five […]
Shopping at Jimmy’s
I finally got in a shopping trip to Jimmy’s Food Store-ha! Another 101 list down!) This cute little shop is tucked away in East Dallas – close to my commute home in the evening, but enough off the path that I had to plan to stop by. Once inside I was amazed to discover that […]
So Much for That Goal
I guess next month will need to be “Go one month without eating fast food.” Darn you, Whataburger.
Top(Golf) of the Morning to You
Last week my guy sent me a mid-afternoon text and said he’d had a great time hitting golf balls that morning. It took me a few minutes to realize that this meant he’d been hitting golf balls on a work day – not normal behavior. It turns out that his boss had taken him to […]
Been There…Did That
From the random-101-list-file: I’ve wanted to visit the Museum of Biblical Arts in Dallas for some time now, mostly because it’s there and I’ve never gone. Curiosity gets me to do many things in life. A friend had a ministry fundraising luncheon there a few months ago – it gave me the perfect opportunity to both […]
This Still Doesn’t Make Me A Gardener
This past weekend, I went to a free garden class hosted by our great city, Plano. They didn’t pay me to say that – I truly mean it. We live in a great Dallas suburb. And on that note, I used to feel apologetic about being a suburb-dweller, a Plano-ite. However, the longer I’ve worked […]
Get in the Game…er…Gym!!
We used to be gym rats – then suddenly we weren’t. I can give a ton of reasons why this happened: Our gym sold out, the new location wasn’t convenient, I started working downtown, we got a lot of exercise running so the gym wasn’t as useful… Bottom line: We quit the gym. Quitting the […]
