Me and My Blog

you & your blog at finding joyMy friend Rachel says she became all brave after flying across the country to attend Relevant. I’m so glad she did! I had a blast meeting her and am now excited to come home and get to know her better through reading her blog.

She started a new meme called “You and Your Blog”, inviting us to take a picture of ourselves with our blog. So here I am, in all my pinkness, with my crazy blog. The blog that started out as one thing, spawned into four things and then came back to this….Just a little Chaos Appreciation. The place where I educate, clean, whine, review, and just about do whatever I dang well please. It’s my blog after all.

I can’t promise I’ll post everyday. I’ll more than likely go in spurts. But sometimes I’m funny, and sometimes I’m helpful, and usually the pictures will have unexpected backgrounds that will make you feel better about how your house looks ;) .

I love you all! Thanks for hanging out with me and my blog!

Ten things Anna and Cassie should know…

 

….or “10 reasons why Anna and Cassie may regret their decision to room with me”

1. I talk. A lot. About everything. Except politics (and usually religion). But I will talk in uncomfortable detail about anything that has ever happened to me. Also, I am very animated when I talk. and apparently, I can get loud too.

2. While I don’t snore, I do growl. Usually in the morning when you first wake me up.

3. I will panic about arriving at the hotel and will probably text one of you to come meet me at the door. Cuz I’m a big chicken liver.

4. I am currently having a wonderful bought of insomnia, I’ll try to turn my laptop screen away from you so you can sleep while I stay up and do who knows what.

5. I can get completely dressed in a room full of people without taking off my nightgown or showing anyone anything inappropriate.

6. My hair appointment to go pink again is set for next Thursday. You asked for it.

7. My suitcase/bags will explode. But I know what each and every pile is for.

8. I will want to HUG you. ALL of you. IMMEDIATELY. But I won’t, I’ll pause, because I’m shy, and I’ll wait until you come in for it. Then you better be prepared.

9. I have been known to giggle so hard for so long that my eyes swell shut, my face turns red and I almost wet my pants. (Ok, there was that one time I peed on my moms lap but she kind of had that coming and I was pregnant)

10. I will cry when I leave. You might not see it. It will happen, most of the four hour ride home.

So uhh  Cassie, you still happy you sponsored my way?

100 Words : Harsh

With chubby fingers she grips her crayon.  Her hands desperate to create on paper the masterpiece in her mind. She scribbles and scrawls crooked flowers and hearts. Her letters are reversed yet her face beams with pride over spelling her name – all by herself.

In her dainty ruffles and crinoline and patent leather Mary Janes, she proudly entered the kitchen where Father sat sipping his coffee.  His attention lost in the paper, business and politics deepen the creases in his brow. She tugs his jacket and offers up her card. He asks for her to return later. Daddy is busy.
