There are a few blush colored blossoms on my Tulip Poplar in the front yard and a flush of scarlet azaleas are peeking through my front window. It is rather bizarre considering it is January, but this has been a strange winter in the South. My confused blooms are at risk if a frost or snow blusters through, as it is known to do in mid-February and it will make for a much less spectacular Spring. At least my tulips and daffodils are holding back a bit, so there’s hope.

Join me at the eye roll diaries today for my post on why we are doing a great work and we can’t come down!
I love Paula Deen. She is like a saucy, southern fried Mrs. Clause dispensing kitchen advice with a twinkle in her eye and a fridge full of butter. Her recipes look and sound so good, they make me want to lick my flat screen grab my mixer and turn on the oven. So I was sad, but not surprised, to hear this week that Ms.Paula has been diagnosed with diabetes and she is going to have to make lots of changes to her cooking and lifestyle. Sigh.

Stroll on over to the Hippie Chick Chronicles for Debbie’s post on a little heart and then hop to Simply Diane for her take on why a Russian doll means so much to her family. Hungry for more? Don’t forget to visit all of us over at the Eye Roll Diaries too for some mama bear advice (teen twitters beware!!)
Those words were spoken in a prayer by my son’s friend, Daniel, before we headed downtown to Atlanta last night. We were a ragtag group at best, several moms, a couple of dads and small group leaders, and a gangly group of seventh grade boys with a penchant for youtube and cracking themselves up. Our caravan wound it’s way through 5:30 traffic into the heart of the city on a unusually mild January evening.

Having teens brings a whole new kind of Christmas wish list! Join me today on the eyeroll diaries, I am writing about my revelation of how to look “fly and fresh” according to two teenage boys!

Ah , a new year is upon us once again. I am ringing it in as I recover from the flu. Who needs streamers and horns when you can have fevers and headaches instead? I feel like I celebrated in reverse and got the hangover first, but I don’t drink. Oh irony, how I love thee.
Being that it is 2012 tomorrow, I was thinking about the end of the world coming. You know, like in the crapstastic movie of the same name from last year? I laughed when I saw the website offered a link to create your own end of the world playlist. Who wouldn’t want a sound track to kick the bucket to? How thoughtful.

We survived, enjoyed the holiday yesterday, with the exception of an email hacking and the stomach flu (ho, ho, hurl). How about you and your family? I take my turn at a “poetic” description of our Christmas travels last year over at the Eye Roll Diaries today, so come visit!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family! I can’t say that I am sad to see 2011 go, but I am grateful for the many blessings God has given to me.
