It’s interesting. The glorious habits of nature. That go unnoticed far too often. The sun rises and sets. Each day. The same. But the skies around it change. Adding to its brilliant movements. Tonight we went on a stroll at dusk. It was perfect. Not just the time together. Talking. Being. Relaxing. But taking note […]
The One with the Newbies
I’m sorry for being a lame-o this week. I kept thinking, “I’m gonna write about this or that.” But sitting down and getting it done was another thing entirely. My life has gotten progressively busier in the last few months. Funny how that happens. I’m pretty creeped out right now. The last two mornings I’ve […]
The One with the Dream
First things first. I love laughing at awkward things. Especially when those awkward situations were totally not on purpose. This is why Fail Blog entertains me. (And sometimes disgusts me. But that’s another matter entirely.) When I saw this segment on Rachael Ray today, I couldn’t wait to type in the address. I think I […]
The One where She Never Cheats
Ahh, yes. It’s Monday. Oddly enough, my weeks are less stressful/busy than my weekends. So I kind of look forward to Mondays. Except that my husband isn’t home. Cause I miss him. But I get more stuff done when I’m alone. So that’s a plus. Stuff like admitting the truth about my perfect looking lifestyle. […]
The One with Fall
I love fall. I think it might be my favorite season. There’s just something perfectly unique about autumn. Maybe it’s because I’m a November baby. I’ve always been quite partial to the months leading up to “my” day. (By the way, isn’t it true that the whole world stops to celebrate me?) In any case, […]
The One with the Phone Call(s)
I’m not sure how this happened. Or when. When did I fall in love with my job? With teenagers? With the soul-searching, heart breaking work known as the ministry of Jesus Christ? It’s hard for me to comprehend. I worked with teens before. When I was a teenager myself, I was leader. Throughout college I […]
The One with the Monday Confessions
Join me (& MckMama) in my quest for brutal honesty. Or not. You can just laugh. Or shake your head. Whichever. I have perfected my culinary skills. Therefore, I would never misread a recipe. Especially one for simple “fantasy fudge.” Nope, not me. I read thoroughly and follow directions flawlessly every time. I would never […]
The One with the Memory
Five years ago yesterday I was embarking on what would prove to be an unforgettable journey. I was pretty much scared to death. Alone. Nervous. Awkward. Naive. And way over-prepared. It was five years ago yesterday that I met the man I would marry. And the girls who would become lifelong friends. I could never […]
The One with a Food Confession
I need to get this out there. I need you to know. I need you to not laugh. Too hard. Or be disgusted. Give it a chance. I did. Kevin refuses. He is totally missing out. One of my favorite meals is a gluten free alternative to a Rachael Ray sammy. (Sammy=slang for sandwich.) She […]
The One with the Deliciousness
I found it. The perfect chocolate cake recipe. I may never try a new recipe ever again. Which is saying alot, since I’m always trying new recipes. But seriously, this is the. best. cake. ever. I made it yesterday to take to worship team practice last night. Not any particular reason. Everyone loved it. It […]
