I sound like an elephant when I walk through the kitchen. I ate too many cookies. My husband is singing in his falsetto from the bathroom. He makes me laugh. Most of the time. Earlier today. Not so much. Why am I so easily angered? Why can’t I seem to remember the good things in […]
The One with Hand Cream and Phone Calls
Holy smokes. The phone has been ringing off the hook. PCMI. Twice. Inquiring about Kevin’s substitute teaching app. PCMI. A third time. On my cell phone. Informing me that my substitute app (Part 2) is in my inbox. Pastor Dave from HFMC. About a collaborative 30HourFamine event. And in sympathy for my elbow.* Pastor Dale […]
The One with the Frozen Face
MckMama is back with her own “not me” post. I had to join the fun. I don’t like being left out, you know. —- I definitely did not freeze my face off last night at our youth group sledding adventure. Nope, not me. I’m always totally prepared for the conditions. Which I why I would […]
The One with the Night Sleds
Sometimes I surprise myself. When I think something is impossible or too difficult, I get it done. Actually, I think my God gets it done through me. Just being honest. This morning was testimony to that. Remember how I was given a cassette tape last night at 6pm? With a song that I’d never heard […]
The One with the Spasy Speedometer
Our speedometer on our new* car is insane. A serious mind of it’s own. While driving to our Bible Quiz this morning, I utilized our new Christmas gift. The handy dandy GPS. Our global positioning system** has numerous readings on it’s interface. One of which is a speedometer. Super cool. That’s how we found our […]
The One with an Urgent Call
I cannot tell a lie. But I hate to admit this. Bianca and I are friends. I know! Can you believe it? Probably not. I really wasn’t a fan of the idea of a rodent for pet. Welcoming a species to dwell in my home. When normally you would make extermination efforts for such a […]
The One with a Winter Lemonade
Ways I save money. At least they Work for Me. Wash and reuse plastic containers from used up yogurt/sour cream/butter. I’m constantly packing fresh veggies. Leftovers in my wide array of reusable plasticware. Cheese & lunch meats. Rubbermaid. Tupperware. Snap It. I feel like I’m doing a little “planet saving” when I get multiple uses […]
The One with the Mouse Conversations
It’s time. Time to join MckMama in a moment of brutal honesty. I am definitely not loving the snowflakes that are quickly accumulating. Nope. I’m not a snow lover. Not at all. I would never leave my hair to dry into a crazy mess post-shower. Nope. I’m always on top of my morning routine. And […]
The One with the Christmas Creativity
Not to be confused with the Christmas Nativity. So I definitely almost posted this 4 days before Christmas. Thus potentially ruining the surprise for no less than 6 people. Yes, it’s not really that thrilling of a gift. But still. Have the fun is in the surprise. Right? In an effort to save money while […]
The One with the Chicago New Year’s Eve
Well hello there, Two Thousand Ten. Nice to meet you. I have a feeling we’ll be good friends. For the first time in my life, I ushered in the New Year in a big city. The Windy City. Chicago, Illinois. Our friends, Karina & Michael just recently settled into their city apartment. They invited us […]
