The Country Girl and the Computer...a Not So Love Story

Being a not as young as I used to be Southern Princess...technology has not always been part of my everyday exsistence. I remember the days before cable, the internet, and smart phones. I remember rotary dialing (how I loved that), when the news was on every channel at 6 o'clock, and before anyone knew what a blog was!
Having recently started a serious relationship with the computer...I have learned how little I really know. It's got me missing the days of paper, pencil, and the old time yellow pages. Don't get me wrong, I love my computer and my smartphone, but sometimes...just sometimes...I miss the fun of that rotary dial!

Have a blessed Tuesday Ya'll,
The Southern Princess

Mondays...for or against?

I have always heard people complain about Mondays and going back to work. I want to challenge that notion for just a moment. Before I made the choice to leave the classroom to stay home with my infant daughter...I LOVED Mondays! There was the promise of a new week and so many things to be taught and learned (both for teacher and student). The students were always excited to see me as well as their friends and there was just a sense of excitement in the air.
If you're not a "Monday" person...this is my challenge to you...think about the promise God has put into a Monday for the blessings that will come throughout this week. Turn up the music, rock to your own beat, and make this Monday a great day!!

Happy Monday Ya'll,

Joy

Welcome to The Southern Princess

Welcome ya"ll!

This site is named The Southern Princess not because I fancy myself a princess...but in the south  (as with everywhere else) women like to feel pampered now and then. This blog will feature not only homespun humor and stories but will also feature handmade jewelry and hair accessories designed for all the princesses out there. Grab a glass of tea or a cup of coffee and sit down and browse for a spell.
