Cool and Hip, I Am Not*. November 24, 2012. You may not be aware, but there is a little known holiday, nestled between Halloween and Christmas/Hanakkah called Thanksgiving. It’s basically like Christmas; usually family members get together and share a large meal minus gifts and expectations. It is the lack of expectation that makes Thanksgiving my favored holiday. 1 DIY (sorta) Tablecloth. He’ll eventually tie up the loopholes. I have another tablecloth for next year. 2 Oh Em. Gee. I love pie. I married ...

Cool and Hip, I Am Not*. December 1, 2012. No surprise; I didn’t finish 50,000 words in 30 days. In the eyes of the contest, I didn’t succeed, however, I chose to say I won. I DID write more than 15,000 words on a single piece. Which means I have a foundation for a story, a good start on the first draft. There is a family, living in a small southern town, dealing with their new found celebrity status. I can’t just leave them hanging. It was a good feeling. How was your project? Before I regale you with m...

One of the rare times Darrin was able to procure. The phone to text me. Sometimes it’s a. Wonder they still talk to me.

Cool and Hip, I Am Not*. Check On It, Repeatedly. November 29, 2012. While I don’t talk about it openly, it’s not a secret that I struggle with my weight. But I think some mothers do have hard time losing those last twenty or thirty pounds after having a baby. What I didn’t know was that nineteen years would pass, and I’d still be carrying it. Stretch pants and loose shirts became my standard uniform. I lost all confidence because everything I put on looked horrible. Photo Credit: Google Images. My curre...

Cool and Hip, I Am Not*. January 24, 2013. Under Construction* * * * * * * *. January 8, 2013. Before I regale you with my tale, I feel as if I should preface this with a disclaimer:.

Approximately 3.8 seconds after we walked out the door, the phone rang. 8220;May I speak to Betty Wilson*? Sounds of disdain, “Hmm. Okay, is this 321-555-2558*? I called Verizon a...

Cool and Hip, I Am Not*. The Most Expensive Room in the House. November 27, 2012. It all started out innocently. I enter the downstairs half bath and notice a musty smell.

Later notice something odd inside the cabinet, and upon taking out bucket holding cleaning supplies, notice the damp boards and mold. Attempt to convince Husband that black mold has invaded entire house and ask him to investigate further. Back in the fal...

Cool and Hip, I Am Not*. Be Careful What You Ask For: Christmas Edition. December 12, 2012. I am the worst Christmas shopper. Part of the problem lies is I don’t like shopping. Add-in overly heated stores, extraordinarily loud music, and throngs of snotty, disobedient children (and a few adults, too) and it’s a wonder I ever leave the house from Thanksgiving to New Years. 2 Clothes (1998 – 2006).

So long 2012
http://www.coolandhipiamnot.com/2013/01/01/so-long-2012
Cool and Hip, I Am Not*. January 1, 2013. I’d been debating for a few days whether or not I was going to post anything, sending 2012 into oblivion. I had considered compiling a list of the best books I read or perhaps a look back over the year. Last year, I welcomed 2012 with open arms. She apparently didn’t like my welcome mat, or maybe the guest towels were scratchy, because three weeks into the new year, my husband got the call he was losing his job. My middle child will graduate from middle school.
