A couple months later I went back and the gal at the counter told me they no longer served it. Nooooooo! So I left sad and went to Panera Bread instead which does have a pretty tasty chicken [...] ]]> Fri, 18 May 2012 05:41:17 GMT 9CAE7C4CB5CC601FA45C5D73FCD58C1A http://allisonsharp.com/about.cfm?feature=423978&postid=2083392 When my sister was visiting recently we chatted about all the fun we’ll have once she moves back to California. One of the outings we have in mind is to dress up in fancy sun dresses with big hats and gloves for afternoon tea and crumpets. As we were talking about it a family friend, [...] ]]> Mon, 14 May 2012 11:46:26 GMT C561DC150FB200A02A54044AC0DDC722 http://allisonsharp.com/about.cfm?feature=423978&postid=2000103 I finally had it. Had it with the demands of my job, family challenges, my pending divorce, my house, and everything in between. It was as if one by one I was being handed a brick from each person or situation in my life. “Here take this,” brick one, “oh here’s another”, brick two, “hey [...] ]]> Fri, 20 Apr 2012 09:12:45 GMT 6B37DE306CC4525D9839946540B93D3E http://allisonsharp.com/about.cfm?feature=423978&postid=1930126 I recently went to the doctor and when I stepped on the scale I was like, “Oh craaaap.” Then a flash of soda, shakes and desserts whipped though my mind in a mad fury. As I walked to the exam room I was disappointed because my ‘Fit February‘ was a dud. I probably worked out [...] ]]> Fri, 30 Mar 2012 20:51:58 GMT 0137C369636C90C87108082DE3536658 http://allisonsharp.com/about.cfm?feature=423978&postid=1916361 At the beginning of the year I set out to do Project 365 (again) through Flickr. I intended to take one picture every day to improve my photography skills but that wasn’t happening. I was taking a picture each day but it became more about obligation than progression. Early on in the process I realized [...] ]]> Tue, 27 Mar 2012 10:50:11 GMT FB2F2CB51006D49755959AAEB89A91B2 http://allisonsharp.com/about.cfm?feature=423978&postid=1895210 I like both chocolate and maple glazed donuts but not enough to eat two at one time. That’s waaaay too much sweetness in the morning. If nobody else eats them (rare in my house) I’m able to cut them in half to make one specialized ‘maplate’ doughnut. When I put these two mini’s on my [...] ]]> Mon, 12 Mar 2012 08:37:24 GMT EEB20B8D305CF96F1ABB68453C669AE6 http://allisonsharp.com/about.cfm?feature=423978&postid=1860249 70/365 Palm Trees, a photo by ..Allison.. on Flickr. I was going to get up at 6:30am to get a good start on garage sale’n this morning but when my alarm went off I just wasn’t ready to get out of bed yet.

Not the prettiest looking pizza but packed with complimentary flavors to delight the taste buds. Say hello to the Thai Chicken Pizza from California Pizza Kitchen.

Yes, please, a photo by ..Allison.. on Flickr. Sometimes you just need to rest. Life is always so busy. Even when I don’t mean for it to be busy it just is. I try to keep things simple but there area always ‘things’ that need to be taken care of or something going [...] ]]> Fri, 09 Mar 2012 11:55:01 GMT C96EF0C1680E9D7702E1BE14A7AE90DD http://allisonsharp.com/about.cfm?feature=423978&postid=1854094 67/365 Coldstone – Hot for Cookie, a photo by ..Allison.. on Flickr. I took the boys for ice cream at Coldstone Creamery tonight. I usually get the Coffee Lovers Only in the Like it size. The flavor combination is just right with coffee ice cream, roasted almonds, Heath bar bits, and caramel.

Because it’s not enough that my youngest just turned 13, now my oldest is about to turn 16 in a couple months! I’ve told them to stop this getting older thing, but they just don’t listen.

My youngest son planned on having a party for his 13th birthday but throughout the week I didn’t get any RSVP’s from his invitations he handed out at school.

Tonight I was schooled by my fifteen year old. I was having a bit of a pity party and at first he tried to cheer me up by joking around. When he realized I wasn’t in the mood he said, “I’ll be right back.” A few [...] ]]> Sat, 03 Mar 2012 11:43:53 GMT DE2BC4628067300AD461327B3B0C69EA http://allisonsharp.com/about.cfm?feature=423978&postid=1831359 61/365 My Story, a photo by ..Allison.. on Flickr. “Write your own life’s story”…. but what if you have writer’s block? What if you had the book almost written then someone burned it before you could complete the happy ending? It’s time to start over but the blank white page is blinding.

Psalm 34 is one of my favorite scriptures. When I’m having a down day it lifts my spirit and reminds me that God is near. He delivers me from my sorrow and reminds me that everything will be alright.
