We are leaving for vacation in less than ten hours. I have not packed. I have not even tried on clothes from two summers ago to see if anything still fits. I am woefully unprepared in the packing department. But in other departments, I have been getting ready for this vacation for a while. I’ve [...]
So, at the risk of over-sharing with all of you ….. during my last pregnancy, I managed to grow, in addition to the double chin and exploding behind, a lovely skin tag on my right cheek. My FACE cheek, not the other one. When I went in for my post partum check up I mentioned [...]
Things I noticed at our high school basketball tournament this weekend, which prove how old and grumpy I am, way more than any wrinkles or varicose veins could do: 1. Attn cheerleaders (sadly, from our school): When your skirt is so short that your tights are hanging out below it, you might as well walk [...]
Like most parents in this day and age, I am fairly accustomed to juggling several balls in the air at once. But even for me, life has been exceptionally busy the past two weeks, and “update blog”, which I promise is on my to-do list every single day, continues to get pushed down the list. [...]

Not sure how [...]
We had our final Bible Study of the session this morning, and afterwards we decided to go out to lunch for just a bit more fellowship. On the way, because I am nothing if not vain, I grabbed my lipstick out of my purse, to freshen up oh-so-safely in the rear-view mirror. I removed the cap and [...]
We attended our high school’s first home football game of the season last night. It was a fun night, seeing old friends, cheering for our team …. they had a Hall of Honor presentation … fireworks …. Brayden sang in the school-wide choir …. marching band ….. marching band …….. marching band ……. With the [...]
Every year around the time school starts, I schedule my yearly physical. It’s always such a fun time, sitting on that table, butt naked (except for socks because you know darn good and well I’m not walking around in that office barefoot — that’s disgusting) wrapped in a paper vest and drape, both the size [...]
I’m not a huge believer in karma. Oh, sure, I believe whatever attitude you put out there into the universe will usually come back around and either help you, or knock you down, depending on the vibes you’re sending out in the first place. If you exude good things and helpfulness, good things and helpfulness [...]
