It's me, Charity

 After a rough few months being sick and then moving, I apparently decided to see everyone I know within the span of a week. Ha. Ok, maybe not everyone I know, but I did manage to cram a lot of fun stuff  into a short amount of time! Last week was Fair Week. There is not much I love more than a good Lemon Shake up and Pulled Pork BBQ Sandwich. So of course I had to go! Audra was working the Ivy Booth at the Fair on Thursday, AND they were giving away free sunglasses! Score! I wore my sunglasses from last year tons, until I accidentally crushed them, sadness. I made my way over to the fair on Thursday after lunchtime and was pleasantly surprised at how NOT packed it was!  Auds and I look like we're walking an Ivy Red Carpet. Cracks me up!!  The next day I hosted my first Lunch at my new house! Muy Caliente and Jda came over and I must say, I made some pretty tasty food!! Which I took a picture of but didn't upload. #fail We had a great time eating and t...

As told by Facebook Status Updates Charity Hendress July 10 I'm not sure what I'm going to do when these are successful. Charity Hendress July 10 How I sit to watch tv when there are mice on the loose. Charity Hendress July 11 Reasons why my mom is the BEST mom in the entire world. Man do I love her!!!

Nothing. No success trapping the little buggers.  Found two droppings on the counter so they were out. Today I am putting out poison, more mouse traps, and we sealed up an area that they might have been getting in outside. Mom blessedly brought me the grabber thing...

When you think about Joy filled events moving is not at the top of the list. If it is, we should talk, because you're clearly doing something that I am not! Just like finding a home, moving day was full of unexpected frustrations. Here I am sitting on my couch blissfully unaware of what the day would bring.   And here Jboz and I are just a few hours later. Needless to say, things did not go smoothly as we had planned. There was not much Joy going on, just a whole lot of Twanda waiting to be unleashed. It was a long, hot, long, sweaty, hot, long day. Because I am crazy, I had to teach two piano lessons that evening. With no shower, having moved in 95 degree heat. My students didn't care, and when they both came to their lessons and I shut the door to my brand new beautiful studio, the one room that was completely ready I felt like I could breathe again. During both of their lessons I tuned out the outside world and just focused on my students an...
