Here's the Thing: Grandma Sandy Comes for a Visit
http://jolleyjazz.blogspot.com/2014/08/grandma-sandy-comes-for-visit.html
Sunday, August 3, 2014. Grandma Sandy Comes for a Visit. I've noticed that the first couple of weeks following a birth or a death are the easiest. People come visit and you get to reminisce over food that just magically shows up at your door step and that you get to eat on paper plates and then throw away. The those people leave and reality sets in. Come back, Grandma Sandy, come back! As I mentioned before. She also continued the tradition of the frosty outing. My mom's mom, Grandma Bonnie, always t...

Here's the Thing: I AM Grateful, Darn it!
http://jolleyjazz.blogspot.com/2014/06/i-am-grateful-darn-it.html
Monday, June 16, 2014. I AM Grateful, Darn it! Heather Jolley, Pity Party For One! Every party has a pooper; that's why you invited me, PARTY POOPER! Though I have been determined since the beginning of this pregnancy to be one of those girls who runs the entire pregnancy and lifts heavier weights than ever and the girl who doesn't let anything in this pregnancy hold her back, I have been humbled to the dust. Pregnancy hurts, folks. 1 First off, I am grateful for FREE STUFF. Like this recliner:. Sandals ...

Here's the Thing: These are a Few of My Favorite Things
http://jolleyjazz.blogspot.com/2014/07/these-are-few-of-my-favorite-things.html
Tuesday, July 8, 2014. These are a Few of My Favorite Things. It's the final countdown. But, in order to pass the time, we have been trying to swim as much as possible. Once this baby comes, I feel like my summer is OVER. In a good way, but still. OVER. Though, we do live in Florida, and I could probably swim through October. So maybe not OVER. But very much at a STANDSTILL. But the word STANDSTILL doesn't seem quite as dramatic in caps, so let's just say . . . My summer is about to be OVER. The beaches ...

Here's the Thing: October 2013
http://jolleyjazz.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 28, 2013. Happy Halloween, Dawgs. Normally, Daniel and I are quite the Halloweiners. We are all talk, no walk. We spend the entire months of September and October talking about amazing costumes we want to make, knowing full well neither of us is going to spend 239847 hours and $3892749287 making the extravagant and over the top ideas we come up with. Too bad they don't give out awards for the best Halloween ideas. This year, we turned into Hallowinners! One of Daniel's co-workers gave us ...

Here's the Thing: Our New Addition
http://jolleyjazz.blogspot.com/2014/08/our-new-addition.html
Friday, August 1, 2014. The Jolley Family is proud to announce a new addition . . . We finally have a piano! We have had a digital keyboard for about 3 years, and it has been great. But a real piano! Oh, and also, I had a baby. And she came out looking just like that. (Yes, the bow on the headband hurt on the way out.). Here's the rundown on "The Story." I'm making it short and sweet for ya'll. GWEN MARIE JOLLEY 07/19/2014. 7:30 am Check into Florida Hospital to be induced. 2:15 pm My boss answers my pre...

Here's the Thing: May 2013
http://jolleyjazz.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 18, 2013. Ebony and Ivory Reunion- May 2013 Edition. Last week, June and I visited Heidi and the gang (not to be confused with Kool and the Gang). It had been 10 months since I had flown with June, and I was nervous. And had every reason to be. In order to make the trip easier, I decided to fly sans stroller and car seat, since Heidi has extras. I managed to pack everything into one suitcase, which we checked. So it was just June and me and the diaper bag. Easy, right? Blythe is dark and Ju...

Here's the Thing: March 2013
http://jolleyjazz.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 29, 2013. I Love Daniel Jolley. Tonight, on my way home from errands, I got a flat tire. As you may remember. This happens pretty regularly around here. I made my way onto the shoulder of the road. I called Daniel, and he cheerfully said he was on his way. I wasn't quite sure if I would be able to navigate Daniel to our location. I am terrible. As soon as I said it, it hit me that it had a deeper meaning than I originally intended. Daniel and I celebrated our three year anniversary on t...

Here's the Thing: April 2015
http://jolleyjazz.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 14, 2015. Another relaxing family meal. Today, our family had the rare occasion of going out to lunch in the middle of the week to celebrate some good news. We were quickly reminded why we never go out to eat anymore- our kids are nuts. I'm pretty sure that each Red Robin employee who witnessed our scene at the corner booth entered a convent or monastery upon our departure from the establishment. A claw machine. See that grey door on the right? It's hard to describe, but the space was real...

Here's the Thing: Tortured Artists
http://jolleyjazz.blogspot.com/2014/07/tortured-artists.html
Tuesday, July 15, 2014. Another evening and here I am suffering for my art. Actually, I would never be up in a million years at 3:42 AM to write a blog post. Never. Sleep is too precious to me. However, Baby Girl No. 2 is SO HUNGRY and needs to eat RIGHT NOW. I swear this girl is a fighter. She has the appetite of a champion. When I deliver her (sometime this week or next! She is going to take one look at my paltry bosoms and request a steak dinner instead. Trying it . . . She learned that from me. Maybe...
