The random life of G

I took a vacation day today.  I wanted to write some thank you notes to give to the people that helped out after the accident.  (Fire Department, State Troopers, EMS, Stormont Vail, Kansas Rehab Hospital, etc.) I was planning on going to my happy place (Milagro) to write the notes.  I got there at 10am and saw they didn't open till 12, so I went to Pilgrim's Coffee.  I got an Autumn Spice Latte (I think).  I already don't remember...I chilled out there for awhile enjoying my drink. Then I headed over to Milagro to write the notes.  I just love that place.  I didn't even have an appointment, but was able to sit down on the couch, drink hot tea, and write my notes.  💚 My mom had sent me a text earlier in the day that Trystinn wanted to have birthday cake at the cemetery for my dad's birthday.  So I decided to have pie for his birthday.  I headed over to Upper Crust.  They didn't have chocolate or lemon in a single slice, so...

I decided awhile ago that I was going to grow my hair out and donate it to "Locks of Love". I went to the Locks of Love website and found that I needed at least 10" to donate my hair. I do not want my hair super short, so I've decided to grow it out till August 2015.  My hair grows super slow, so I bought Hair Skin Nails from ItWorks.  We'll see how well it does.   I decided to start documenting the process on 10.5.2014. Picture 1 - I tried using a thin measuring tape to gauge how long my hair was.  I put the tip of it along my hair base line.  I decided I wasn't able to tell with the picture, so I decided to try a bigger ruler. Picture 2 - This one wasn't much better, but I do know this ruler is 12", so I have an idea of how long my hair is. Picture 3 - I decided to take one more that was not in a ponytail. Picture 4 - I think it's better if I have someone else take the pictures.  This one was taken 11.13.2014 after my hair was tri...

Departure Time: Wednesday, Feb 23 5:00am I spend Tuesday evening baking an ALMOND Cheesecake.  Why?  An idea popped into my head earlier that afternoon and this was something I just couldn't pass up. Y'all know cheesecakes aren't the quickest thing on the dessert menu to make.  Here's something I did to pass time while waiting...waiting....waiting....  I was getting a little frustrated while I was out and about Tuesday night trying to find a cake box.  I needed to find a small box; afterall, this cheesecake was going on a 5 hour drive and I needed to keep it cool and I did not want to lug out the big cooler. I went to Hobby Lobby thinking they would have a huge selection. I was wrong.  WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT PICTURE? I went to Wal-Mart; no such luck there. Okay, Geralynn it's time to get creative.  I just started browsing through the aisles to see what I could find.  I went through the grocery area and they were stocking shelves a...
