The extremely high time requirements of my last post have kept me behind on everything (including blogging) for the past several weeks. To celebrate finally completing that project (and to have a bit of time to catch up on writing and emails and dishes and lying comatose on the couch), I’m going to publish a […]
Old. (Deep Breath) Is Okay. (And a Giveaway!)
Everyone has a different age that strikes them harshly. For some people it comes early at 25, and for others, it doesn’t hurt until 50 or 60. For me, it was turning 30 last October. I’ve always been the youngest. I was the youngest in school and college, always had older friends, am 5 1/2 […]
Their Superpower.
“Did you know that an average four year old asks 437 questions a day?” I saw this factoid on Pinterest. My immediate response was…surely not. Yes, my kid asks a crazy amount of questions, but four hundred and thirty seven? That seems absurd… astronomical.. ridiculous… impossible. And besides the fact that it is inconceivable to […]
A Burlap Birthday.
Since discovering the rebirth of Burlap to Cashmere, Chris and I have been living on their music in anticipation of our concert experience. On one of these particular listening occasions, I found myself alone in the car, stereo system blaring, bass turned up, knowing that my car was thumpin’ the surrounding traffic with the insanely […]
Frequently Asked Idiocies.
After 54 hours, our power was thankfully returned to us late last night. During those 54 hours, I had nothing better to do than repeatedly dial Alabama Power’s automated system enough to crash their server. I also checked out their website, and in said process, I read their FAQs. I discovered that their frequently asked […]
Why I Run.
Chris here, guest-blogging again. I like to run. Not fast. More jog than sprint. More wander than race. I’ve been doing this, on average, twice a week since 2003. Sometimes longer distances or times, sometimes inside on the treadmill when its hot, cold, dark, or wet. It has become my favorite “me” thing to do […]
What You’ve Done for Alabama.
If anyone still doesn’t believe that “Internet Friends” are just as real as “In Real Life Friends”, then they’ve never been in a crisis situation. To help with tornado relief, you have ordered over $1,200 of items off of the Christian Service Mission’s Amazon Wish List (you’re part of the reason that UPS had to […]
Glory.
I’ll be back next week with more pointless posts and inane meanderings, but this weekend I’m excited about focusing on the Resurrection. In so doing, I thought I would share what I’ll be listening to with you – just hit the little triangle thingies if you’d like to listen along… Alas Alas It is Finished […]
This Blog Post is Spinning…
… Because I’m in labor! Actually it’s spinning because of the Demerol I just got which is also seriously impeding my ability to blog without saying random things like white fuzzy rabbits. Noah decided to come one day before his deadline – I started contracting seriously and quite painfully around 10:30 last night, and decided […]
PLEASE UPDATE YOUR FEED!!!
Sorry if this is the second time you’re getting this, but I’m trying to get it through to the old-domain subscribers, which is no easy task. For those of you with some sort of blog reader or feed, this message is for you. Apparently, my feed will only redirect for two weeks, then it quits. […]
