Ladies and Gentlemen, I have found another use for duct tape...as seen ONLY in Shreveport.

I Got Moved :(

So, I've been complaining for the last year to everyone except people at work about my desk being right at the door. So, my back is to the door. This means if anyone went postal and ran for the first person- that person would be me. This has kept me from putting makeup on at my desk (because you know, it's unsafe to do while driving)...

City Girl In the Country: Poison Ivy

The man of the house has been getting his share of toys lately. You'd think that I'd be the one all domesticating it up, but no, in the last week he has bought, hedge clippers, a John Deere mower, a chain saw, fish tape (yeah I don't know) and has somehow managed to figure out how to make my dishwasher work since the plumber/electrician never calls us back...

Lord Jesus It’s a Fire

City Girl in the Country on Bugs

Last year, if you had asked me if I liked bugs, I would have told you my first car was a 1966 VW Beetle. This has been the most difficult transition for me in the country life. Between weird jumpy spiders, grass hoppers, cob webs between blades of grass and shy huge black spiders the size of a deck of cards and other oddities I didn't know exsisted...

Best. Prank. Ever.

My bff has an irrational disdain for one of my ex's. He wasn't even the worst of all the ex's...he was just a big idiot that made her conceive evil plots against him. Her first idea was to get one of those big fish you get in the grocery store...put it ...

Never, EVER Give Up- Disabled Vet’s Comeback [VIDEO]

In light of the recent events in my life, I found this video to touch my heart. My brother found it and I watched it. I'm so glad I did. Never stop believing in yourself. This is proof. And yes, that is THE Diamond Dallas Page. :)

Miranda and Ashton Reunited

This past week, I had the house to myself because of the St. Jude trip. I got to watch TV for the first time in a long time. I rekindled my love with That 70's Show and Ashton Kutcher. So, he's been on the mind a lot lately, and he's been recently dating his tv girlfriend from That 70's Show, Mila Kunis...
