One of my wonderful blog friends, Jenilee, is now hosting a great blog party each Wednesday. Called “Wednesday’s Walk,” it’s a great opportunity to share a memory that you call yours alone. Anything. Anything at all. I have decided to start out with our love story. In pictures. Kevin and Melanie [circa 2004]:: He was […]
The One with the Good versus the Bad.
Monday was the best day ever. Tuesday was the worst day ever. Seriously. I said those exact words as the days came to a close. Even I couldn’t believe the juxtaposition of my life in just 24 hours. The stories. Neither Kevin nor I secured jobs for Monday. We were both (not so) secretly happy […]
The One with an Introverted Extrovert
I’ve been thinking. And I think I’m coming to a conclusion. I’m some weird ironic combination of extroverted people person who prefers quiet time in her own home.

The One where She Bites the Dust. Again.

Well, don’t be. I know I’m not! And neither is MckMama or the many other links on today’s Not me! Monday post. I […]
The One with Hot Tea, Lemon, and Honey
How is this happening? Sick again. This time it struck me Saturday night. Another sore throat. But this one was different from last week’s. I wasn’t as out of sorts so I made it to church. But I knew I was fighting something. I do believe it’s a sinus infection. My lymph nodes are crazy […]
The One with a 32nd Street Party
1. What’s your favorite time of the day, and why? Right after an early morning workout and shower. I feel so energized and productive. 2. If health wasn’t an issue, what food could you live off of? Well, considering that yesterday I ate more than I can remember, I would have to say brownies. 3. […]
