Halloween Time at Disneyland

September 20, 2010

The return to reality after a weekend at Disneyland is tough stuff.  Call me crazy, but something about laundry and homework and the same old boring routine just seems miserably drab when compared to the magic of Halloween Time at Disneyland. Sigh. Believe it or not, this was our family’s very first trip to Disneyland [...]

Sweet Sixteen

September 6, 2010

I remember the learning, the day I first knew that she was to be.  I was a sixteen-year-old girl working an after school job at our small town’s ice cream parlor.  I ran next door to the drugstore during my break and bought an EPT (or its inexpensive equivalent).  I took it into the bathroom [...]

August 19, 2010

It was an event that would normally have warranted a birthday post on the pages of this here blog.  BUT.  But I haven’t been feeling the bloggy bug lately, in case you hadn’t noticed.  I’m not entirely sure of the future of Such The Spot.  But [...]

Easter: All It Was Cracked Up To Be

April 4, 2010

Dresses.  Both frilly and not-so-much. Spring khakis and his signature fauxhawk. Praise.  Worship.  And He is risen! Baskets ‘o’ goodies. There was chocolate.  {the good kind}. Jellybeans. Eggs balanced on branches and tucked under vines. Grilled steak and potatoes.  Blueberry mojitos. Strawberry pie. Sunshine. The trickle of water from a fountain. Birds chirping. Children laughing.
