Hi there, I’m having trouble coming up with a nice, cohesive story to share today so I’m just going to offer a few photos, thoughts and comments that may or may not make any sense collectively and/or individually. It has … Continue reading
This is Scarlett’s spot on the back of the sofa in case you couldn’t already tell.
She passes many an afternoon on her perch, watching the activity outside through the sliding door.
Sometimes she’s extremely camera-shy.
And, often, she’s quite grouchy.
When there is a bird or anything else that moves on the deck, she puts on her game face and watches it like a hawk.
Really, Scarlett, I wish you would relax and make yourself comfortable.
Please take note of her legs, particularly her back leg flung over the back of the sofa. She’s so modest with her superman poses.
She’s annoyed that I’m talking about her like this.
But she still thinks I’m alright because I let her think she owns the place…which might not be far from the truth.
Y’all come back,

In honor of my 100th post on the Sugarlump, I want to share a very special part of my childhood. When my cousin Lauren and I were little, we loved to play in Papa’s old office, which was attached to … Continue reading
On my run/walk/mostly walk this evening, I encountered some wild clouds. Shocking, I know. I had someone tell me recently that she now thinks of me every time she sees weird clouds. I was honored. I am officially a cloud lady. But … Continue reading
I was in Connecticut last week on a business trip. When I left Nashville, it was approximately 110 degrees. When I arrived in Connecticut, it was approximately 80 degrees. The conference room where I spent the majority of my time … Continue reading
I am writing this with Crest White Strips on my teeth. I find them very uncomfortable so I decided to distract myself by blogging.
I’m not sure why these white strips are so problematic for me, but I have an awful time getting them to stick to my teeth. I have to avoid talking or closing my mouth when I have them on or else they seem to lose their grip on my chompers.
To help with issue, I have started using a paper towel to remove as much moisture as possible from my teeth before I put on the white strips. If you’ve never tried this before, I would recommend it just to see what it’s like. It is a very bizarre feeling.
I’ve taken a poll among family and friends and it seems as though I am the only one who has such difficulty with this teeth whitening process.
I guess my teeth are shaped funny.
I know that makes me sound quite attractive, so I would just like to clarify that I had braces and my teeth are straight. I don’t look like a jack-o-lantern.
I really detest these white strips.
On the bright side, they are preventing me from eating, which I’ve already done enough of today.
I really want some chocolate.
Ding.
My 30 minutes is up. I can’t wait to pull these things off.
My teeth had better be so sparkly by next week that you need sunglasses to look at me.
Y’all come back,

During the great heat wave of Summer 2012 in the South, we experienced some very interesting moons. I still have yet to figure out how to take a night photo with my real camera. If anyone has any suggestions or … Continue reading
Gus takes his bed very seriously. And, therefore, he takes sleeping very seriously. Although this is clearly in the middle of the day during one of Gus’ 5 naps, this is the same way he behaves when it is time … Continue reading
Here is the garden after weeks and weeks without rain. Amazingly, the beans are vining, however, they are not nearly as full as past years and have not produced many beans. Usually by this point in the season, the vines … Continue reading
For the 4th of July, Eugene and I headed to Burkesville to see our extended family. As we went to bed on Tuesday night out in the country, we couldn’t help but notice how loud the crickets were. It’s funny … Continue reading
