Homemaker Chronicles

After I tell you this story I hope you feel sorry for me rather than think I am nasty, but I’m willing to take that chance because it’s so typical…
I mean, uh, funny…
This morning I was in zumba class like I usually am at 9:00 on Wednesdays.  There was a girl leading the class today [...]

Monday I was having this issue with my eyebrows looking mangy.  I asked for your advice, but no one showed.
First of all, what up with that?
No worries though, my mom came to the rescue.  Yeah, she reads my blog…don’t cha mom?!  She suggested “eyebrow dye”.  It’s actually hair dye that you brush onto your brows.  [...]

Technically beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I think beauty is literally “the eye”.  More specifically, the eyebrows.
I think they can make or break a face, and that’s why I’m having issues tonight.  Admittedly, I have jacked up eyebrows.  Truly, they have always been weird, but as I get older they get [...]

Tonight I am throwing a hissy fit because I want to live in the country.  I want my kids to go barefoot and run through the grass.  They should be able to play in the creek and catch crawfish without me having to worry about other people preying on them as they walk down the [...]

To children everywhere…treat your mutha right. Mr. T says so!

A thought for thought recollection

Inside the Homemaker’s brain at 7:00am Tuesday April, 13th, 2010.
“wake up, I’m late…and I have to take a shower….don’t forget to take your underwear to the bathroom…oooohh, warm water…wait, where’s my facewash?…ah I left it at the sink, now I’m going to get the floor wet…where’s that rug?…Oh yeah, I had [...]

You already know that I broke it off with my college boyfriend of two years.  It was time though.  We had been breaking up every other week for about six months and [...]

This week I am going to take my own advice.
Written by ME February 2009.
Did I mention that I like coffee? Just in case…
I LIKE COFFEE!
Starbucks brand. Gold Coast blend. French pressed. No cream. No sugar.
If you follow me on twitter you already know this, but I actually got to [...]

“Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits:
Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that your [...]

In an effort to be more transparent this year, that is one of my “resolutions” that I hate to call a resolution, but really I have had to sort of resolve to do it because it doesn’t come completely naturally to me…
yeah, you can see this is already hard for me…
Today I am going to [...]

Dying is not something I plan to do in the near future.  I do have a list of things I’d like to do before I die though.
In no particular order, here they are…
1.  skydiving
2.  fly a jet- or in a jet.  Either way
3.  sleep in a castle
4.  go on a cruise ship (all 7 of [...]

I would like to interview myself today.  No, I am not going crazy and I certainly haven’t had too much turkey…yet.  I just want to answer a few questions for you that I know you’ve been burning to have answered!  Let’s get movin’, there is green bean casserole to stuff in my mouth.
Angie, what is [...]

…about breast cancer, I thought I would pass along this article that was very intriguing to me.  It is about regrowing breasts!  Apparently they are testing it on women now and the Australian scientists will be trying this same concept on other organs in the future.  I copied this excerpt for you to read for [...]

Body lotions.  Bubble bath.  Shower gel.  Facial scrub.  Candles.  Air freshners.
One could not go wrong buying me any one of these products…ever!  I used to be really into cucumber-ie smells.  You know, it was all about that fresh clean smell- like I just got out of the shower or something.  Maybe that was because I [...]

How many people listen to music while cooking or cleaning the house?  Take this quick poll…

Alright, now once you take the poll, tell me this…what are your favorite songs to listen to, if you are one that listens to songs while cleaning and cooking.  I would also love it if you left me a comment [...]

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe
She had so many children, and her name was Angie…
As unexpected as reading the end of that verse probably was to you, that’s equally how unexpected having “so many children” is to me.  I never thought while growing up that I would actually have five children [...]

I am not one to try to tell people what to do.  Unless you are one of my kids, or if you have the wrong opinion of something, or if I disagree with you or if you make me mad.  Other than that, I just do not partake in it.
I don’t. Well, not all the [...]

Seriously, the pounds are returning.  Except they are in the form of cellulite!!  HELP!
I really don’t like talking about diets and working out because I think each lady should have her own individual routine that suits her own personal life.  Besides, each one of our bodies is different and unique.  Each one requires it’s own [...]

A friend and I attended a Zumba class earlier this week.  It was my first time to do Zumba…my friend was a pro and I hung on for dear life!
First of all, I have to say “WOW”!  I didn’t know people could move their hips that quickly and into such awkward positions.  Apparently some people [...]

Friends, please be in prayer for my friends Sarah and Ethan and their baby boy Jude.  He was born with a cleft palette and his first (of many) surgeries was yesterday.  He had to stay overnight again tonight at the hospital because of his inability to breath well- due to swelling.  This little guy needs [...]

I almost forgot about this picture from last week…
It’s NOT photoshopped, so good job on those of you who figured that out.  We are at a historic site in Texas (good job recognizing those trees Cinda).  Caleb is running toward me at full speed and a snapped a shot of him in mid-air!
