Because I love ya, because I’m a bit proud of myself, and because I left you with quite a teaser yesterday… …I will share with you the other new (awesome) thing I did this week. Wednesday morning, my wonderful friend Sheryl and I planned to go for a morning run on Thursday. I woke up with […]
The One with the First of the Canning
I have been trying so many new things this week. One of which I will share with you here. You’re welcome. On Monday, the hottest day of the newly-arrived fall season, Sheryl and decided to try canning tomatoes. Her neighbor had given her baskets upon baskets of tomatoes leftover from his garden, and we decided […]
The One with New Music
I may have gotten myself into big trouble. So to speak. The other day I was searching Amazon.com (pretty much my favorite place to shop ever) in order to find a new set of piano lesson books for my brand new student. (My third in three weeks!! Can I get a woot, woot?!) I easily found […]
The One with Beans Coming Out My Ears
I have been going a hundred miles per hour in 10 different directions lately–but loving all of it! I’m not usually a fan of this-is-what-I’ve-been-doing-in-the-last-48-hours type of posts, but this is good stuff that I want to remember and I’m a little impressed at how much I’ve been accomplishing. tee hee. Sunday was busy, busy, but beautiful! We […]
The One with What Makes a Good Weekend
Awesome things about this weekend include… game night with Randy & Sheryl. We love hanging out with them. All four us spent plenty of time laughing hysterically. I found out Kevin had never actually played Cranium, he just assumed he wouldn’t like it. But he totally did. And don’t let him tell you otherwise. my new purse, […]
The One with My Parents’ 27th
Happy 27th Anniversary (yesterday) to my Mom & Dad! Thank you guys, for staying faithful to each other all these years, for raising Ash and I through thick and thin, for teaching me to be self-sufficient, and most importantly for leading me to salvation in Christ. Love you both! photo by Smith Gallery Photography May […]
The One with the True Haggler
Tonight my mom called. We chit-chatted for a while and just before hanging up, I remembered a story from last weekend that I just had to tell her. By the end of my re-telling, we worth both cracking up with laughter, just about dying over the ridiculousness of the story I had just told. The story you […]
The One with the Top [insert number here] Shows I’m Stoked About
And now, because I forgot it was Tuesday until it was already past my bedtime, because I haven’t slept well in days, because I am a lover of quality (I use that term a bit loosely) television entertainment (I know, I know, not the best use of my time, but I love tv, I can’t […]
The One with His Specific Provision
wow. I’m at a loss for words at God’s goodness. His provision. His forethought. And His passionate attention shown to the innermost aspects of my life. In the months before this big move, across states and into faith, there were many prayers offered. We sought wisdom–where to move, where to live, where to go to school. We asked for […]
The One with TMI (but not for you)
Sometimes, you just have to let your hair down. So to speak. In the metaphorical sense it’s just nice to take out those tight bobby pins that have been keeping my hair oh-so-perfectly-presentable and yet have been digging into my scalp, give my head a good shake, take a deep breath and chill-the-heck-out. Do you […]
