Most Humiliating Memory: Mom enjoyed cross-stitching seasonally appropriate bloomers. (Who doesn’t, after all, need a good seasonal picture on their butt?!) She also enjoyed other people getting to appreciate her handiwork. I, however, was NOT a fan of showing off her stitches, but was obedient nonetheless. The Christmas where I have no memories due to […]
Killer Rabbits: Not Just in Monty Python.
I love rabbits. I always have. I had several as pets growing up, and thought that they were just wonderfully delightful creatures. We also have wild rabbits in our neighborhood. We can especially see them when driving home at midnight from Small Group – Ali and I always watch for them. They’re just beautiful, innocent, […]
The Cattle are Glowering…
The year was 1987. I was six years old, and there was a huge opportunity coming up that could greatly advance my acting career. The Homeschool Christmas play. I desperately desired the part of Mary. There was nothing more in the WORLD that I wanted to do with my life than to play Mary in […]
Sometimes, Practice Just Makes Unfit.
My brain is quite scattered today, as my poor sweet husband has had the stomach flu. He is feeling better now, but it was bad enough to make him go to the doctor for only the third time in our 8 years of marriage. He caved and went for the express purpose to rule out […]
A Lifetime Ago
I don’t feel that old very often, until I start thinking about how long ago things happened. Nearly eleven years ago, I met Chris. I was 17, and he was 22. We met through music – he was this awesome and passionate singer/guitar player/pianist/keyboard player/songwriter. I was still a teenager and a good-guitar-player-but-only-in-my-classical-picking-style-so-please-don’t-ask-me-to-strum-niche and a […]
Memories are Like Scars…In a Good Way, Of Course.
Being that I have a 2 1/2 year old, I often think about first memories. Mainly because Ali should be storing hers away any day now, whether it’s making flowers out of meat with Mommy and Daddy, learning to Pommel Horse on the toilet, or watching Mommy bravely catch a spider the size of a […]

I will be giving away TEN free lunch coupons compliments of Zoës Kitchen (which is my FAVORITE lunch in the WHOLE WORLD), so your chances are pretty good to […]
Brave, Brave Sir Chris
Today is Chris’ Birthday!! But instead of subjecting you to an ooey gooey Birthday post (I’ll save that for the card), I’m going to tell you a story. Because, you see, not only is this his 33rd birthday, but it is also the 10th anniversary of when we started dating. And the fact that we […]
