You Have No Power Over Me

Posted on May 30, 2012

Have you ever seen the movie Labyrinth? It was one of my favorites when I was growing up, and I still remember it almost word-for-word. My friend Julie and I used to watch it every time she came to my house growing up. There was a point in time when I had the whole movie…

O is for Optimism

Posted on April 23, 2012

Are you a glass half full or glass half empty kind of person? For me, it totally depends on the day and my mood (and the amount of sleep that I have had). While I want to be a glass half full optimist, it’s hard for me. I think my nature, for some reason, is…

Oh, 2011…What A Year You Were!

Posted on December 29, 2011

As I look back on 2011, I can’t help but hum “I Will Survive” in my head. It was one of the most…years I’ve ever experienced. 2011 was full of very high highs and very low lows. It was full of adventure and excitement, and tear and confusion. It was full of new challenges at…

Sunshine & Raindrops

Posted on March 20, 2008

Today is the first day of spring. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. Seriously. The long winter that we just experienced is finally over. It seems like it’s been going on forever and a day, and it feels good to know that the days are getting longer, the sun will be out more, and the temperature may…

Some Random Thoughts…

Posted on February 29, 2008

ENGAGE:The final proof of the magazine is at the printer. That means I won’t see it again until it is done and back in mass quantity. I am sure there will be little things that are missing or just wrong, but I feel good about the finished product overall. It will be online at the…

Life in the Sick Lane

Posted on February 8, 2008

I should preface this post with one tiny fact – I HATE being sick. That being said, this week I have: coughed hard enough to almost pass out gone through a jumbo-size box and a half of Kleenex spent 3 hours at the ‘walk-in’ clinic taken approximately 6 different medications had two prescriptions filled eaten…

Stepping Out

Posted on December 14, 2007

Those of you that know me well may or may not know that I am REALLY bad at meeting new people. Putting myself in situations where I don’t know people and just being me is hard – I think it’s a deeply-ingrained sense of “why would people be interested in me?” that I have yet…

It’s My Life

Posted on October 31, 2007

My Monday evening was a little strange… Monday night Tim and I went to Wal-Mart in search of Halloween costumes and a pumpkin (yeah, I know it’s a bit too late, but our lives have been really crazy). We had no luck with the costumes or the pumpkins – but did manage to buy some…

Domestication

Posted on October 13, 2007

Today I feel more like a homeowner than I have. Why? Because Tim is outside mowing (a sound that I love and find comfort in, I don’t know why) and I’m doing laundry, cleaning, and just watched Roomba do his magic. I know Saturdays won’t always be like this but it’s nice to feel like…
