Moving Day!

We’ve moved on over to the new blog… Hey, I’m not a Miss anymore!  Hope you’ll join me at Notice the Dirt:

Time for a Change

As many of you know, The Miss is now a Mrs.  I am thrilled to now call The Gentleman my husband and can’t wait to share details of our big day with you.  And that, my friends, is what I’ll do as soon I have my new blog up and running.  Stay tuned for the [...] . . . → Read More: Time for a Change

Fall, You Complete Me.

Y’all it’s been such a busy season of life that I’ve worried about missing my favorite season of the year, but moving my life to a new town has a silver lining.  I’ve had to gotten to drive back and forth from the Gentleman’s home in the country to move my staggering volume of stuff.  [...] . . . → Read More: Fall, You Complete Me.

Three Weeks

Just three little weeks until I’m no longer a Miss. I am DELIGHTED.  The Gentleman and I have begun slowly moving my belongings to his house, and while the resulting clutter in my place is about to destroy my soul (no, really), we both agreed that the migration is bringing about a palpable feeling of [...] . . . → Read More: Three Weeks

Recognizing Stuff

When The Gentleman and I marry in just about a month, we’ll be combining our huge volumes of STUFF under one roof – his current home.  We’ve already done a significant amount of purging including hosting a yard sale on arguably the ugliest, rainiest Fall day so far (c’est la vie!) and are almost pared [...] . . . → Read More: Recognizing Stuff

Time is Flying!

Has it really been two weeks since I posted?  Well, I knew times were busy, but times have also flown by these last few months.  As of this week, when I open my Outlook calendar to the month view I can see today AND my wedding day on the same screen.  Yipe!  In some ways, [...] . . . → Read More: Time is Flying!

Un-spirational Quotes

Ladies and gentleman, I have a canceled meeting!  I decided to take the next few free minutes to write a blog post about something that weighs heavy on my soul:  the proliferation of “inspirational quotes” on Pinterest which are either filled with misspelled words or just simply incorrect.  I think this will be fun….enjoy!  (Note: [...] . . . → Read More: Un-spirational Quotes

Rolling In

“Looks like a storm’s rolling in.”  That’s a phrase usually uttered at the coast where thunderstorms seem to literally roll in from over the ocean, or in the mountains where storms clouds roll over ridges and into valleys.  I don’t live in the mountains or at the coast, but God treated the Gentleman and I [...] . . . → Read More: Rolling In

Let’s Stop the Cycle

I haven’t posted in a while and it’s usually not in my nature to post something with such a negative bent, so I beg your patience.   I simply can’t stand by and allow “Shut the Front Door” Syndrome to mutate and resurrect with a new, awfully annoying, not all that cute and overused phrase.  [...] . . . → Read More: Let’s Stop the Cycle

Here We Go!

  By now, you probably know that the Gentleman and I are engaged and we are PUMPED.  We are also determined to have our dream wedding. We want a simple wedding.  No, really.   No, way more simple than you’re thinking.  Have an idea in your head about how simple?  Good.  Now go simpler.    I’m talking [...] . . . → Read More: Here We Go!
