You may remember how upset totally embarrassed I was to discover I had FOUR cavities after not seeing a dentist for 3 years. Today was the dreaded appointment. The first of two that is. Not that I was scared at all. I really wasn’t. It was just a severe inconvenience and a bit of a frustrating […]
The One with the Weekend of Worship
What a fantastic weekend we had! It all began Thursday afternoon. We donned our spring jackets and headed to the soccer field to cheer on two of our teens in their JV game. We raced home, headed to the church for worship practice and then the stick-drama rehearsal, and then BACK home. Ashley–one of the […]
The One with Open Wounds
I’m not gonna lie. This hasn’t been a shining week in our household. Shocker, we’re not perfect. Honestly, though, most of the issues have been rooted in my deep-down struggles–struggles I didn’t even know I was having. And when one person is dealing with personal trials, problems overflow onto your spouse. Am I right? I was […]
The One with My Key Habits
My mom commented on my salsa-losing-story. She seems delighted that I’ve joined the ranks of forgetfulness and sends her condolences that I’m becoming more like her everyday. :) It made me smile and reminded me of yet another “moment” of mine. On Friday morning, I was busy baking a batch of pizzelles to fill my first […]
The One with the Library Lovers
My husband and I are well aware of the fact we are dorks. And you know what, we totally embrace that. We love reading, learning, sitting in peace and quiet. Sunday afternoon we proved our dork status once again. The local library we frequent closed down last Spring for building renovations. We were still able to […]
The One with Honest Decisions
In recent weeks I’ve come face to face with me. Who I am. Why I do the things I do. What makes me tick (or what ticks me off. teehee.) I have never been very good at decision making. Not that I lack the wisdom or understanding to make the right decision. Most of the […]
The One with the Dust Attack
Having spent the last hour dusting the long-forsaken tops of dressers and corner window crevices, I can tell you it was shocking how dusty my house was. (And still is…I haven’t finished yet.) I really dislike dusting. Vacuuming, I can enjoy. Wiping counters and such is a health issue necessity. Doing laundry is fine by me. […]
The One with …
Sometimes I really want to say things but I don’t have anything to say. Or, rather, I have far too many thoughts flitting around the infrastructure of my twisted-wire brain that even I can’t put words to them. And even if I could, well…. Add to that brain issue this throbbing headache and funky stomach […]
The One with the Life Microscope
I am an open book, heart-on-my-sleeve type of gal. I love being honest and transparent with people. To me, meaningful relationships are everything. I’m not a fan of putting on a happy face, grinning and bearing it, or saying “Fine” in response to “How are you?” It’s not real. And I’m real. But the difficult […]
The One with the Dentist. Dun, Dun, Dun!!!
I went to the dentist yesterday. Not a big deal, right? Nothing out of the ordinary? Well, it was totally on a whim when my mom mentioned getting into the dentist while I’m home for the weekend. She found me an appointment spot for 3:30pm Friday, and I was looking forward to a good ol’ […]
