You can be fat and lazy as long as your friends are not
You know someone really gets you when all you have to do is send this text: “I’m fat and lazy.” That was my appeal for help to Scott on Monday. I’ve been so busy with various work projects that I haven’t had time to work out. Which I realize is absolutely an excuse. No matter…

Make sure you have coffee for this one.
She bared her soul, y’all, and she’s doing it for the world to read. How did I feel when my best friend since we were 8 years old told me she’d had an emotional affair? Surprised? Of course. She’s never in our whole lives been one to break the rules. In fact, I’ll admit that when…

Tomorrow is big, you guys
I’ve been too quiet here lately, but it’s for a good reason. I’ve been helping Amy publish her very first book. It’s amazing how much time and effort goes into creating a book if you want to do it right. There are multiple drafts. There is line editing. There is book cover photography and design. Font…

A stranger is on my mind today.
She touched my heart almost two years ago with a message through Facebook, and I have not stopped thinking about her, in some capacity, since. She is not a complete stranger. In fact, I’ve probably known her most of my life. But I cannot think of one conversation we had together. We didn’t go to a…

I lied.
Not intentionally. I just changed my mind. A couple of weeks ago, I told you about my plan to write Mia’s memoirs as a part of NaNoWriMo. My grandmother and I worked on them for years, and she died before I was able to finish interviewing her. But I have stories and interviews and other…

In case you missed it …
Just in case you missed our blog post over at Melissa Oyler Designs yesterday, I wanted to tell you here that one of my closest friends has written a book. She previewed her cover art (which I had the pleasure of designing) and announced her book yesterday on her own blog, so check it out…

Coffee. Feet warmers. Creativity.
What I love about working from home: – I don’t have to wear shoes at the office. Hell, I can wear my pajamas all day if I want to. – If I feel creative at 3 a.m. on a Sunday, well, then that’s when I do my work. – Speaking of work, it’s different…

No spoilers here …
You won’t get much from me the rest of this week. Why is that? I’ve been spending the past few days editing a book written by the very awesome and talented Amy, who also happens to be one of my best friends. I gotta tell you, this book is fantastic. Not giving up any spoilers…

No more dresses, please!
So, if you’ve been keeping up with this post, you know there’s been some drama in the department of getting rid of old wedding items. I wanted to give an update to let you all know where things stand with Sonya Fogle and It’s a Bridal Thing. After writing the blog post, complaining to the Better…

She was a terrible singer.
But when she called me to belt out her rendition of “happy birthday” when I turned 33 this year, the terribleness made it all the more endearing. The other voicemail I’d saved from Mia was recorded after the last daywe spent together. She had called me to thank me for a wonderful day and to…
