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

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.

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?" Well, when I came across this photo of my feet (Sorry, but I have to post it for you to get the full effect!) from 2001, I was horrified at what I allowed someone to do to my feet: You know… Continue reading INSPIRATION for Memoir Mondays: Mistakes from the Past
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.
