Technology
In church recently, I had a rude awakening. And that rude awakening was that I am freaking luddite. Or, more accurately, I'm too poor to afford technology. Therefore I shun it. (Until I can afford it. Then I embrace it without scruples and promptly judge those who...

The The Weed Wednesday Wrap-up (And Celebrity Crush Part II)
This post started as a simple idea of five listed things, but has morphed into an entire post within a post. Guess what! Stuff happens in my life sometimes that's not really fit for an anecdotal humor post. I find myself wanting to talk about these things...
read moreThe Booger Paradox
Last night we were driving back from Portland (where we had Thanksgiving with my parents, which was very nice) when something tragic occurred. I unintentionally sent my daughter, Anna, spiraling into the Booger Paradox (which isn't actually a paradox at all--more of a...
read moreCelebrity Crush
Most marriages seem to have an unwritten rule where a partner can have an open, slightly comical celebrity crush on some random stranger who appears occasionally in the media. And when I say "most marriages," I mean "my marriage." And when I say "a partner" what I...
read more80’s Movie Saturday–The NeverEnding Story (Or, why I should never, ever have been allowed to have children)
Do you have a four-year-old who is eerily drawn to the dark, scary, and sinsiter? If not, you're really missing out. My four-year-old is fascinated with stuff that might scare her as evidenced by the fact that for her night-time lullaby she prefers to watch Michael...

I'm not really a phobic person. Heights? I'm fine. Spiders? I'll pick them up and carry them outside to preserve their fragile little lives because I have a tender heart for all living creatures (minus mosquitos and ticks because anything willing to steal my bodily...
read moreThe most phoned in post ever.
Today I'm going to do something a little non-conventional because I have to finish a load of crap for my chemical dependency endorsement (did I mention I'm attending community college? They even sent me a certificate--just for enrolling. It is now framed) and I also...

You know what’s awkward?
I just realized an online equivalent to the experience we've all had at one point or another when someone is waving in your direction at somebody behind you but you don't know there's someone behind you and you think they're waving at you, and you look at them for a...
read moreSmear Campaign!
This is exactly why I didn't get into politics. This, and the fact that I hate politics. Yesterday, there was an "incident" surrounding my P-ness post. It happened on facebook. I'd posted a link to my post, and after a normal comment or two, I saw this: Steven...

Word to the wise: While presenting a workshop about the Meyers Briggs Personality Test and how it can positively impact marriage as an invited guest, feel free to refer to the letter sub-types in abbreviations. For example, you can call a person's tendency...
read moreTwo Birds–A bizness post
You may not know this about me, but I spend a LOT of time online. Because this blog is in its infancy, I'm constantly searching for ways to meet other writers and build community. This is another way of saying that I spend way, way too much time playing Facebook games...
