I do not enjoy yard work. I have never been a gardener. Pulling weeds is basically equivalent with torture. Getting dirt under my fingernails (what little, short, stubby fingernails I have) is gross. I don’t like bug bites or worms or bees. I have serious allergies to pollen. Sweating in the sun while working with […]
The One with Friday Funnies 05.11.12
My husband and I communicate often via Skype chat, namely to send computer links from one computer to the other. Many times a day, I get links sent to me from my tech-savvy husband who is constantly finding notable videos or images on sites like reddit.com or imgur.com. These sites seem to be the first […]
Confetti Sugar Cookies
I am always on the lookout for new drop cookie recipes. I don’t like to spend a whole lot of time and effort perfectly forming cookies or having to frost or decorate them after baking. I’m a simple girl. Mix butter, flour and sugar. Scoop. Bake. Eat. This recipe was exactly what I was looking […]
The One with the Fairy Running
This past Sunday I went on one of the most FUN runs ever! It was Run for God night at church. A group of anywhere between 15-30 people of every skill level and age come together to learn to run or run better. There is a Bible study involved, helping the runners focus on doing […]
The One with the First Garage Sale of the Season
It’s GARAGE SALE season, people!! YAHOOO! (Here, let me create a simile for you–deer season is to deer hunter as garage sale season is to bargain hunter.) I went to my first set of sales with a a wonderful friend, Andrea. When she told me last Thursday that she was a thrifter and has seen my blog post about […]
The One with the Pain of Forgetting
Last weekend on my quick drive through my hometown, my mom and I stopped by the assisted living facility to visit my Grandma Mary. Grandma has had many health scares in the past few years, and always it’s hard to know if and when to rush to her side (me being a few hours away.) […]
The One with the Pastors’ Conference
The month of April was a complete blur for me. The first week led up to Easter Sunday, and we started our long drive to Florida immediately after that service. We were in Florida for the next Sunday of church, and the following weekend, I took a drive to Ohio and then Michigan with my […]
The One with the Laundry Faux Pas
I have a confession to make–I don’t do laundry “right.” I know all the rules. My mom taught me well. But somewhere along the road (actually, I know exactly “where” it happened) I threw it out the window. (The window, the second story window. High, low. Low, high. Threw it out the window.) I was […]
The One with a Bit of Confusion
Sometimes life is a whirlwind. I’m sure you can relate. Sometimes you can’t remember what month it is and you tell people a May coupon “expired months ago” and it’s still April. Sometimes you leave for the day and it’s 70 and sunny, and you’re too hot in jeans. But by 8pm you’re wondering why […]
The One with Florida in {10}
My husband and I just got back from the most blessed week of vacation. We still have yet to vacation to a “far off” land, just the two of us, since our honeymoon, but this was awesome-awesome. Kevin’s grandparents invited us to spend a week with them. They wanted to spend some time with us […]
