Auld Lang Syne

Posted by Lovelyn | December 31, 2007 .

People sing this song every new year at midnight and I wonder how many of them know the real words.
For the longest time I thought the first line was “May all acquaintance be forgot.” I’d sing that part and mumble my way through the rest. Then I noticed that most of the people around me [...]

A Christmas Story

Posted by Lovelyn | December 24, 2007 .

When I was young I could hardly sleep on Christmas Eve. I lay in my bed listening carefully. I wanted to hear the crinkling of wrapping paper, the late night commotion in the living room as my parents put the presents under the tree. I was always leery about the whole Santa story. It seemed [...]

A Picture of the Sky

Posted by Lovelyn | December 19, 2007 .

A few minutes after my husband left for a gig the other day he called me. “Would you do me a favor?” he asked. “Go outside and take a picture of the sky. It’s amazing.”
I had just gotten home from work and had already seen the amazing sky. Even though I grew up with [...]

I’ve sold a few things on Craig’s List but up until yesterday had never bought anything from the site. I like saving money as much as the next person, but I’m always afraid of getting ripped off, and Craig’s List seem like as good a place as any to get ripped off.
We needed a digital [...]

A Crazy Lunatic

Posted by Lovelyn | December 10, 2007 .

The other night I said something to my husband about a crazy lunatic and as soon as I said it I regretted it. I hear people say that all the time and it drives me crazy. What other kind of lunatic is there–a sane lunatic?
When I was little I remember my mother telling me about [...]

Fly Away

Posted by Lovelyn | December 6, 2007 .

My cousins owned a bright blue parakeet named Lydia when I was growing up. They let Lydia fly around loose in the house. She liked to perch on the large mirror that hung on the wall in the living room. I remember seeing her white bird poop dripping down the front of the usually gleaming [...]

Dolphin Dance

Posted by Lovelyn | December 3, 2007 .

I like to walk along Coffee Pot Bayou. It’s a road by the water, lined with fancy houses that cost way too much money. A lot of the photos on this blog were taken there–like the one at the top of this post.
The other day when we went walking, we saw a great show. We [...]
