Welcome to my home page. I am participating in Up ‘til Dawn to raise money to help St. Jude Children's Research Hospital find new treatments for cancer, sickle cell disease and other catastrophic childhood diseases. You too can help St. Jude continue its lifesaving work against pediatric illness with your donation. Check back often and see my progress. Thanks for helping me reach my goal for the kids of St. Jude!

Because they're vicious!

Halloween Mosaic

This is almost the extent of what the kids in Clemson are able to do for Halloween this year because there's a football game today, which means the entire town has shut down for it. All of the festivities were scheduled for Thursday and yesterday. And guess what? It rained.

My children made this year extremely easy as far as costumes go. Evie wanted to be a black cat. Maddy wanted to be a rock star. Two cheapest costumes ever.

Happy Halloween.

I want you.

Yesterday, Clemson was beautiful. We woke up here to 37 degrees and ice on the windshield. But by 1, it was a glorious day, one of those days where you don't want to be in doors.

the amphitheater, refection pond, and library

Enjoying the end of the warmth

My friends and I enjoyed the day as much as we could, going as far as cheap beer and pizza after work. Randomly, while sitting at the bar, we decided to go to the Blues Traveler concert happening on the lawn of Littlejohn Coliseum. It was FREEZING and really kind of pathetic. There were only maybe 200 people there. So basically the band was background music to great conversation.

all that was left

I'd like to say I have a really good reason for ignoring my blog. Some fantastic story about some exotic vacation or run in with the law or brief case of amnesia where I wandered aimlessly around in a small midwestern town until the town hottie/bachelor decided I was the answer to his lonely nights in bed.

But alas, my life is not that exciting.

Instead, I have been working my ass off. Holy understatement, Batman! So much so that I often find myself having to remind myself to come up for air. This whole deal of being a mom, a wife, a teacher, a student, a child, and a friend is fucking bananas. B.A.N.A.N.A.S.

So I'm not really sure when I'll get back to actual blogging. Right now I'm applying to Ph.D. programs, studying for my Master's exams, writing a thesis, and watching zombie movies with my hubby. All zombie movies. We're making a whole thing out of it. It's really kind of psychotic and ridiculous.

So yeah, internet. I'll see you around.
