I went to the reading of my friend Jenny’s book “Let’s Pretend This Never Happened”. I’ve gone out of my way to hatch a plan for her anxiety disorder and she comes to Georgia is a total douche. Before you kick me in the esophagus on her behalf, give me a chance to explain. Writing [...]
stealing moments
I have a history of grand larceny. I stupidly shoplifted when I was a teenager. You know, the stealing on chap stick when you have money in your pocket. Let’s not even talk about the early 90′s. I was a walking after-school special. When I was a new mother I learned the horror of lifting the baby out [...]
don’t you wish your girlfriend drove like me, dontcha!
I am the most awesome wheelchair driver in the history of wheelchair drivers. My family calls me “Galaxy Quest” for good reason. Watch between minutes 2:00 and 3:30.
this proves my son is a genius
Sometimes you look at your children with pride and think “I MADE THAT!” Then sometimes your kid does something that makes you wonder if it’s possible they were dropped at birth by the doctor.
i could have been reading “War and Peace”
I went to Books-A-Million this weekend. Of the millions…no trillions…of pages of BRILLIANCE to be found, we spent our time busting a gut over things like: and Not to forget Please? Duh???!!! How many days till Father’s Day?
i may have 1 good leg and 1 good arm, but I still have 2 good boobs apparently
Once upon a time, I had quite the impressive bosom. NO LIE. To be really blunt about it, “the twins” were fun. They did the BEST card tricks! The strokes were a lot of adjustment physically. Wheelchairs to get used to. Legs that don’t work. Arms that don’t feel. Faces that aren’t straight. But still. [...]
big deal on the internet
I’m a dork. I once tripped on a set of stairs and got a GIGANTIC bruise, but kept going. Did I mention the bruise was ON.MY.FACE. Then there was the time a spider landed on my leg while I was driving. And I drove into the ditch. There was that once that I was wearing [...]
thing you aren’t supposed to do in a wheelchair
It was our first time in the airport together. Amanda and I had a little time to kill (since I wasn’t a terrorist this time) and we headed for coffee. We always have a little tussle when it comes to paying for coffee. My turn. Her turn. My turn. Her turn. MY TRIP = MY [...]
what i do in the shower
Someone asked me how I shower. There wasn’t enough money in the world to make THAT vlog happen. But there wasn’t a good way to describe it. So. Here you go. p.s. Next post?? My secret to really, really, REALLY shiny hair!
i guess we won’t be having rice for dinner tomorrow
I’ve been lucky that week after week we’ve been able to have friends or family here. It would have been so much easier if we lived in Tampa or Daytona, where we have lots of loved ones. We have managed the past months on the hearts of those that taken time to come to Georgia [...]
funkytown, one turn past Allentown and Elizabethtown
Sometimes I get in a funk. Then I have to make myself find reasons for to get out of it. There’s been physical progress, conference opportunities, Extreme Home Makeover videos, husbands that make threats involving things that are put up high. Funk? When do I have long to wallow in the funkadelio? Mainly because the [...]
oh! the joy of motherhood…it takes a lot of SOMETHING
I woke to the smell of cooking eggs and muffins. “Don’t look, mama!!” is screamed at me. Plates made of goofy writing and coffee cups with smiling pictures adhered carefully are as good as gift of gold. The sun shines down on gleaming smiles and freshly scrubbed faces. “He’s touching me!” “She used my blue [...]
About Anissa
Erma Bombeck said something that pretty much defines my approach to life.... "When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and I could say, "I used everything you gave me." If you switch the word TALENT for LOVE or LAUGHTER or HAPPINESS....it still stands.
