Simply Norman: December 2011
http://simplynorman.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 28, 2011. Mixing up a new year. Merry Christmas to my faithful readers! All 12 of you! It's been a while, so I thought I'd update you a bit on my life lately. After surviving hives, anaphylactic shock, and prednisone, I 'm here to see another day! Santa was very good to me, despite me not being so good this year. I awoke Christmas morning to unwrap a shiny new RED! Kitchen Aid mixer. So much delight flooded my heart. No more struggling to mix a triple batch of cookies! So that's it fo...

Simply Norman: November 2011
http://simplynorman.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 25, 2011. A tough pill to swallow. I know that God loves us equally. While I know this fact, I struggle at times to believe this with all of my heart. When is it the hardest for you? When I see so many women conceiving, and others that may never, I struggle. When I see so many suffering from cancer, and others abusing their bodies, and living without medical problems, I struggle. I used to think, Man! Those people are lucky… But is it really luck? Thursday, November 24, 2011. Well, I thi...

Simply Norman: February 2012
http://simplynorman.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 26, 2012. 8230; and me with no teeth. Ah, my grandpa. He’s half deaf, miserable as hell, smokes too much and keeps the heat on 100 degrees. Man, I love him. I myself have neglected my him at times, and am trying hard now to right that wrong. Even if it means spending each weekend in the kitchen trying to mimic my grandmothers amazing cooking, because he’s craving good food. (Today he’ll be receiving potato pancakes, lasagna, chicken cutlets, and some Ava sized hugs! Today, I am told, is ...

Simply Norman: Wordless Wednesday
http://simplynorman.blogspot.com/2012/04/wordless-wednesday.html
Wednesday, April 4, 2012. April 4, 2012 at 3:31 PM. Just beautiful as usual! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I am a wife, and working mother of two children. I am a baker and lover of sugar. That's all about to change. I am starting a new journey. One that will eliminate sugar from my body, and hopefully pounds from my frame! It's going to be hard, and probably impossible at times. I have promised myself that I will push through. View my complete profile. Check Out These Other Rad Blogs.

Simply Norman: April 2011
http://simplynorman.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 26, 2011. It's been over a month since my surgery, and every day is awesome! It's still really weird to leave the house without what used to be my "faithful companion." Otherwise know as my fake boob. That stupid little hunk of silicone ruled my life for so long. Now, it's just a thing of the past. So, I've got that to still get used to. I did buy a new bathing suit! Other than that, things are well. I just turned 31, but really, don't feel a day over 28! Monday, April 25, 2011. So then I ...

Simply Norman: August 2011
http://simplynorman.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 20, 2011. Don’t Worry, Be Happy. Photo courtesy of: http:/ www.friendship-quotes.info/. Thursday, August 18, 2011. Welcome back, sweet frustration. So there I was, just like Forest. I was running, and running. When then came along my old dear friend, frustration. I suppose that’s possible. I don't know. I just want this hard work to be worth it, you know? If I saw it paying off, somehow, it would be so much easier to get on that treadmill night after night! Wednesday, August 17, 2011.
