July 26, 2014, 21:19, Marseille, France (or there about) We set sail this afternoon from France after a day of sand, sea, and fun. We sat outside for the sail away, which is thankfully much less of a party on this ship as compared to others. So far, I am an MSC fan. Did I …

Oh the People You Will Encounter
January 3, 2113, 17:51 CST, West Point, Mississippi We have encountered some pretty cool folks on our journeys this week. There was the gas station employee in West Point, Mississippi who told me that Tom's Salt & Vinegar potato chips were the best of that particular flavor. There was the waitress at the Navarre Waffle …
First New Year’s Out of State
December 30, 2013, 11:28 CAT, Navarre, Florida, USA This will be the first New Year's I have ever spent out of state. I have lived in Arkansas my whole life, and although I have traveled quite a bit, I have never been out of state on New Year's. I have always wanted to be, and …
French Press Coffee and the Ocean
December 30, 2013, 09:52 CAT There is absolutely nothing I like more than a good freshly brewed French Press coffee, some chocolate breakfast biscuits, and the sunrise on the ocean. The seagulls riding the air, the sound of the waves crashing into the surf, and the sights of a long almost-deserted beach are just too …
On The Road Through Mississippi
Sunday, December 29, 2013, 7:50am CST Today we are taking a trip. We are headed south to Navarre, Florida, and we have been up since 3:45 am. We are headed south to take in some beach time, even if it's chilly, and to celebrate New Year's away from home. It will be the first time …
UNLIMITED Mileage
6:23pm, August 6, 2013, Tahiti It was a most-excellent day. We took advantage of our rental car's "unlimited mileage" and literally drove all the way around the island. Mind you, it is not that far, but when they mean unlimited mileage, it seems a bit silly when you're talking about an island smaller than your …
367 Flash Cards
I made flash cards for the most important portions of the bar exam, or so I thought. You know a test is very strange when you have 367 flash cards for the “most important” parts. I mean, come on. How many would I have had if I had made a flash card for all of …
Being a Mom at 40
Being a mom at 40 means, for me anyway, that I have a grown child living on his own, not with me anymore. Sometimes this makes me sad, but most of the time, I'm very proud that I gave him whatever he needed to be able to leave home and be on his own. This photo is of my son, Ken, me, and his girlfriend, McKinsey last Christmas. Ken is now 21, and I am very proud to be his mom. He is a smart, funny (hilarious really), talented guy who will do great in life. He moved out almost two years ago, not too long after he graduated high school. He's in college and works at a restaurant here in town, so I get to go by occasionally and bother him about cooking. It is a bit scary that the same kid who couldn't (or didn't want to) make his own cheese sandwiches for years now cooks for people professionally. It's pretty funny. We went to eat there several weeks ago, and I ordered a ch
