I have loved using Live Journal but I only have one friend, Katie, on live journal so I have decided to set up my blog in blogger so that others can view it and post comments. Please check it out on www.tollyslife.blogspot.com.

We had a great day on Friday. We had two of my friends over from Graduate School. Unfortunately one of my friend's husband got transferred to Dallas, TX so she will not be here for long. It has been nice to see her again after so many years of living in TN. In the afternoon after Dad got home we cleaned the cars, I was not much help because I ( Read more... )

We had a good day which is refreshing after yesterday. I rarely get tension headaches but yesterday I had a large one of which I had to take medication in order to relieve it. I don't have much to say today. I wanted to write about Nathan and his new word which is "dicle" which stands for popsicle. After dinner and before bed he stands a the ( Read more... )

Every time I write in this journal I am going to write 3-5 things that I am grateful/thankful for. I think that this is important for me because I have a tendency to only talk about the things in my day that drive me crazy or that tend to be negative. I don't think I am a very negative person but sometimes I feel like I am complaining (or I know ( Read more... )

We now have moved into the wireless world. I was a little hesitant because I am actually somewhat opposed to having all this technology right here/right now. That mentality just drives me nuts. I don't understand why so much of american consumerism revolves around having the latest/greatest/fastest technology product ever. Why do we always have ( Read more... )

My good friend from college and I are having a much needed girls weekend.  Well we are not really going anywhere but the point is that we are spending time together without our kids or husbands.   The only plans that we have are sleeping in, getting food for only ourselves, reading as much of our books as possible, a pedicure, having conversations ( Read more... )

 Today is a fantastic weather day.  The sky is blue with puffy clouds and the humidity is very low.  I love these days and I love them even better with the temperature is in the low 70's high 60's.  Those days will come soon enough.  I can't believe that it is almost school time.  I think they go back in 4 weeks.

I went on a weed spraying binge ( Read more... )

 OK I am going to attempt to post pictures of Tucker in his cone after his eye surgery and post pictures of Nathan.  I took a bunch of pictures while the girls were at grandmas of Nathan and the dogs.  I was trying to use my flash  more ever though it was not dark out to see if pictures turned out more vibrant, etc.  In other words I am ( Read more... )

  Since I moved to Ohio I have been taking Yoga about once a week and I really like the way it makes me feel.  It is hard for me to admit that currently I enjoy it more than spinning and running.  I have been a five day a week cardio woman forever and I am beginning to like the slowness and flexibility that Yoga offers.  I really enjoy it becasue I ( Read more... )

Well the girls got back on Saturday and had a great time with their grandmother and grandfather.  They went shopping, of course, and got two new shoes each, an outfit and a stuffed animal.  My time with Nathan was really nice and quiet.  Poor Nathan never gets my one on one time anymore, or ever since he was born, and he seemed to enjoy it some but ( Read more... )
