If I wondered before, I wonder no more. I am addicted to productivity because I am my Mother’s daughter. There are definite cons to this drive of constant accomplishment. But we won’t go into those right now. I just have to be thankful for the great team my mom and I have made these past […]
The One with the 16 Hours of Non-Stop
My mom arrived right in the middle of the chaos that was my life Thursday. (And now, I shall depict the precise reasons for the craziness.) After a cycling bike workout, starting a load and a half of laundry, and compiling a grocery list, we headed to the church to pick up 15 bags of […]
The One Where She Feels the Burn
Kevin has been calling me his lobster for the past few days. And not just because we’re each other’s lobsters according to Phoebe. I got myself nice and burnt to a crisp. Thursday afternoon, right before leaving for our church’s Annual Conference, I decided to enjoy the sun and a good book. I was reading […]
The One with the a HOT Christmas
Originally written yesterday, but Blogger wouldn’t let me sign in to my own account, so it’s late. And I’m annoyed. Today it looked like Christmas in our spare bedroom. No, not just because the carpet is bright red. And no, not because I’m preparing for Christmas in July. I don’t do Christmas in July. In […]
The One with the First of Four Fillings
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 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 Missing Salsa
I thought I was going crazy. It was Tuesday night, and Kevin had left for his final class of Free Methodist History and Polity. (woot.) I chopped up some veggies, shredded some cheese, heated up some black beans, and created a lovely dinner plate for myself. Gathering my quesadilla and tortilla chips, I realized I […]
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 the Thunder
journal entry Monday, April 4th, 2011 Land Between the Lakes–Hillman Ferry Campground It’s raining. Hard. The winds have been whipping since 3am, thunder has been rumbling and occasionally clapping louder than I’m used to, and the rains have come down in sheets loud enough to drown out conversation. It’s to be expected, though. I mean, […]
The One with the Hidden Treasures
In preparation for our week of camping and relaxation and family bonding, Kevin’s parents purchased a geocaching GPS and borrowed a few extras from camp for each of us to use. If you’ve never been geocaching, you should totally look into it. It’s fun, it’s free (after the initial purchase), it gives you a great […]
