Nitrous oxide and this view. 👀🌲👀 Makes going to the dentist bearable. One or two more visits, a year and half process (maybe two by the time we’re done), many thousands of dollars. Hallelujah!!! Almost done. 🎉🤍🎉

Thomas and Camilla November 2015 Date Day …

A stop at the grocery store so Thomas could pick out some fresh veggies. He got a portobello mushroom, radishes, and a huge tomato. Then off to Audrey Harris Park to check out the view of the snow. Tried to catch some on our tongues too!! Thomas says the wind tastes good! xoxo Part 2

Do Not Recommend – Zero of Ten

October 6 2023

0/10 = ER visit on a Friday afternoon. 5 hours later and we finally made our way home. 😳 Not sure how it happened but Thomas has a corneal laceration. Maybe something got under the contact? All will be fine. They put in numbing drops to stop the intense pain, and have other drops I’ll pick up tomorrow.

I had to go sit in the car to charge my phone. Thomas and I were texting. Once we finally got called back, I overheard one of the nurses on the phone saying that they’ve been closed to ambulances for 3 hours due to no beds. It looked more to me like a staffing issue as the place was very empty.

Throwback Post: The Tarponette and Her Buddies

**THROWBACK POST**

July 2009

I’m grateful for getting the opportunity to reconnect with old friends all the way back to elementary school, middle school (Stephanie Sills Lee) and definitely my Oaklawn Jr High buddies! We had so much fun y’all!

The silliest group of teenagers you ever saw! Had a ball being a Tarponette on the drill team with my buddy Valissa Hall McGuffee, marching in the Mardi Gras parades with our band buddies Georges Detiveaux, Dehron Foster and Lillie Powell Salsberry. We tore up them streets of Houma, Louisiana and at them football games!! That’s what we thought anyway! Had such a blast being around each other … Chad Templeton, Dawn Prosperie and Lois Solet, too!

Our little mini reunion in 2009 down in Houston was a hoot! Hanging out and being silly like time had not even passed! I LOVE Y’ALL and am so thankful and blessed that we’ve reconnected!!!

2023 Stanford Neurodiversity Summit

October 1 2023

I’ve attended this for the past two years and always come away enriched and enlightened. They invite presenters who are a part of the ND community; which makes all the difference. Time to dig in! ❤️❤️❤️

This session was amazing.

Looking forward to this! Each day of the Stanford ND conference, before the lunch break, there’s a performance. This is today’s performance. 🎶🎶🎶

Another great session!

This one was the absolute best session of all I attended. I wanted to shoot this content directly into my veins. It was that good!

I highly encourage anyone involved in this community to watch the recordings of these sessions. It takes a while, but they eventually get posted to this website:

**THROWBACK POST**

November 22 2014:

We interrupt the November 2014 Thomas n Camilla date day so Thomas can enjoy a Sibshop! The date resumes at 2:00!

Next stop on the November 2014 Thomas n Camilla Date Day …. It was windy and rainy so we did indoor stuff! Mini turkey dinner with cheese and wine at Trader Joes, then window shopping for books at Barnes & Noble, then dessert of chocolate cream pie and pumpkin pie at Whole Foods with lots of cheese and a taste of wine. So fun!!!

Last stop on the November 2014 Thomas n Camilla date … More window shopping. So fun pretending!

Enjoying As Many As Possible

September 30 2023

Date with Thomas tonight.
Enjoying as many dates as possible
Having as many thoughtful, memorable conversations as possible
Immersing in the depths of how we are so similar, as much as possible
Before this beautiful person
Steps out on their own
At the end of this school year. ❤️❤️❤️

New Lipstick By LUSH – Love It

September 30 2023

New lipstick! It’s been many years since I’ve shopped and spent money on this kind of thing. I visited the LUSH store yesterday and splurged on myself. They’ve got such fun, and creative items. 🎉💋🎉
