I have a few idiosyncrasies. You know–those little quirks which reassure everyone that I really am a dork. One example of this is my iPod selection while running. A few months back, I subscribed to various podcasts after listening to a handful of messages and sermons that I appreciated. I wasn’t sure I would ever get around […]
The One with the Top Ten Lessons I’ve Learned
The year two thousand ten has been one filled with beauty and excitement, stress and frustration. In honor of the upcoming new year, I thought I would share with you the top ten lessons I’ve learned in 2010. I have decided to name this list The Top Ten Lessons I’ve Learned in 2010. I am fully […]
The One with the Eve Syndrome
Yesterday I picked up a copy of Shaunti Feldhahn’s For Women Only from our library. This book is kicking my tush. With the subtitle what you need to know about the inner lives of men, having heard Shaunti speak on a Focus broadcast, and getting recommendations all over the Christian arena (including one of my good friends), […]
The One with the Energy Saving Confessions
I am a bit neurotic about preserving energy. Not necessarily because I want to “save the planet”–though that’s a lovely side benefit–but because I’m the biggest penny pincher you’ll ever meet. Here are statements I make to my husband on a regular basis. “Please do not leave the water running while you’re brushing your teeth.” […]
The One with the Fashion Faux Pas
This morning I went to the park to get in my running before the sun had fully graced us with its presence. It was cold. Really cold. And I was super irritated at myself for neglecting to bring my earmuffs and gloves. ACK. The wind blowing across the city’s river was not pleasant. But I […]
The One with the Smoke Alarm Garlic Bread
I decided to be every teen’s favorite person and make some garlic bread. I bought three loaves of Italian bread from Kroger, sliced them open, buttered them, and sprinkled with too much garlic. It was perfection. I heated the oven to the “low” broil setting. I set a timer, not wanting to burn the loaves. […]
The One with 25 Things
In belated honor of my 25th birthday which was yesterday (which I didn’t fully grasp until I actually wrote the date down around 10:15pm…), I have decided to share Twenty-five Things I’m Thankful for in my Twenty-five Years of Life. In no particular order (unless otherwise stated.) The beautiful diamond ring on my finger. The French […]
The One with the Phases of Home Keeping
I have reclaimed my house! It needed to be done, folks. After almost a week of snotty tissues laying here and there, sneezes spreading germs for miles, coughs ensuring that the world will share in your pain, my house needed a “disinfect and more” treatment. (Yes, I realize I’m referring to this home as “my” […]
The One with the Leaves on the Ground
I have a small soap box I need to get on right now. I would like to publicly proclaim that I think raking leaves is ridiculous. THERE. I said it. Never in my life have I enjoyed raking leaves–I’m sure most of you don’t. But I also never understand why we rake leaves. Are we really […]
The One with the Inner Artist
Another blog makeover. Thoughts? Suggestions? I’m really falling in love with it, though if I had more editing and coding skills it could be way more awesomer. Honestly, that is one of my little aspirations–to grow in my photo and logo editing skills and maybe possibly one day in the future earn some extra cashola […]
