Ruth’s Memoir Monday: High School Graduation

I spent the week leading up to my high school graduation begging my mom for a new outfit.  You don't need a new outfit, it'll be covered by your gown, she told me over and over and over.  At seventeen, I didn't appreciate her practicality.  Little did I know that thirteen years later I would… Continue reading Ruth’s Memoir Monday: High School Graduation

Memoir Monday: Inspiration (if you need/want it)

Think back to a graduation you can remember: middle school, high school, college, graduate school, or even your pre-k stepping-up ceremony (Personally I don't remember the last one!).

Ruth’s Memoir Monday: Austin

Austin, who I began babysitting when he was 6 months old and continued daily for the next five years, graduated from high school this year.  Throughout my eighth grade year until I graduated high school, I could be found at Austin's house from 4:00 - 8:30 every weekday night.  His mom ran a business out… Continue reading Ruth’s Memoir Monday: Austin

M.M. Inspiration/Charge

Grandpa seemed startled when we arrived! Originally uploaded by teachergal I love surprising people, especially family members. Hence, when I looked through my Grandma’s photo album this morning (I’m in the midst of preserving family photos since her albums are not exactly a scrapbookers’ dream at-present.) I discovered photos from the time my parents and… Continue reading M.M. Inspiration/Charge

Memoir Mondays: A Not-So-Great Idea

There are things that I've done in the name of beauty… Using Summer Soliel in my hair as a teenager is one of those things. Waxing my brows is another. However, the dopiest thing I think I've ever agreed to, because it seemed like a good idea at the time, was having a trendy fabric… Continue reading Memoir Mondays: A Not-So-Great Idea

INSPIRATION for Memoir Mondays: Mistakes from the Past

Ever do something that you look back on and think, "What was I thinking?"

Ruth’s MM: Pizza Hut.

Every Friday night my family went to Pizza Hut.  Oh yeah, Baby!  As I've gotten older and other pizza joints have come in and out of my life, I've never been as happy as when I'm eating Pizza Hut pizza. Lately I've been wondering why this is.  In the sake of all honesty, there could… Continue reading Ruth’s MM: Pizza Hut.
