as my dad likes to put it: it only took me 30 years to figure out how to properly, neatly, and beautifully wrap a present; must take after my daddy because he asks me to wrap the gifts he buys for others; however, I’ve learned a new technique for wrapping gifts – yes, I’ve now dedicated a sewing needle to sewing paper; thinking I take after my mom in the sewing department combined with the creativity I inherited from my father!

today, I are breakfast in Birmingham, AL; hopped in the car and ate lunch somewhere between Mississippi and Tennessee; walked around Memphis, TN; saw the ducks walk at Peabody Hotel, cruised down Beale Street, strutted around AutoZone park; headed over to Arkansas for din din with a new friend at an Indian restaurant; crashed on her couch; the day involved lots of driving, stopping, eating, talking, goofing off, getting lost, having a good time;
tomorrow, we’ll be heading out of town up to MN; there are no set plans, but this is the proposed route:up through Mississippi to Tennessee to Arkansas to Missouri to Iowa with Minnesota as a final destination;
on the way back, we will be traveling a different route to see more places; here is the proposed route: traveling east to Wisonsin over to Illinois, down to Indiana, through Kentucky, Tennessee, back to Alabama

the shirts were made the days before; the artwork was skillfully designed, the printing was phenomenal, the experience was unforgettable! Thanks, theyprintshirts.com!
over the years, i’ve realized that common sense isn’t as common as i thought it was; i have been living in my own little world, thinking everybody thinks like me – they don’t; it was a big wake up call for me as i am slowly learning that people have different outlooks on life than myself; even within my own family, i have seen the differences of the thought processes of other people; for some many years, i have been so selfish thinking only of myself and my thought process; i’ll never understand how everyone else thinks, but at least i notice that people think differently than myself; it’s a tough concept to come across; finally after 3 decades of living, i’ll figure out this thing called life
