A cookin’ fool

The DragonLady is at it again. Hopefully for the last time for a few days. That said, I still have a few veggies in the fridge that will need to be cooked or frozen. Actually, I made 2 dishes Monday night, and 2 last night. I called myself done, but there is still some veggies ...Read more.

Challenged

Petra sent me a message the other day with a link followed by “Click on ‘the 6 week challenge’.” I groaned like I had just taken a kidney punch because I just knew whatever was in that 6 week challenge was going to hurt in some way. Our Family Eats. I am doing weeks 1-3 ...Read more.

“Preacher’s kid”

I actually did a small (and lazy) bit of research for this one. And interestingly, what I found on Wikipedia (remember, I said “lazy”), was surprisingly confirming of the correlation I was going to make. But anyway, “preacher’s kids” have always had a bit of a stereotypical reputation. Generally speaking, at least around where I ...Read more.

What I run to

Why? Because it is a post, and this list totally dates me. Yes, I sing many of these at my daughter when she runs with me. Freak Like Me – Sugababes Round Round – Sugababes Walking on Sunshine – Katrina & the Waves Welcome To The Jungle – Guns N’ Roses Paradise City – Guns ...Read more.

Coming out of the dark

If it’s stuck in my head, you get it, too. Yes, I’m a fan. Or was a fan. Whatever. She can actually sing as opposed to, oh, say, Britney Spears? Haha Regardless, it is totally relevant. I think I finally bottomed out. I reached a point yesterday morning that I knew I was done…or undone. ...Read more.

Against the wind

I cannot be held responsible if a Bob Seger song is now stuck in your head. Party animal that I am, I went running New Year’s Eve around the community where I live. I have a 3.4 mile loop on some back roads where there normally isn’t a lot of traffic, so I can stay ...Read more.

Breaking

So I was going to blog yesterday, but I couldn’t get it going. Lots that I wanted to say and pour out, but it was just so heartbreakingly personal that I opted to journal it instead. Yes, that’s right. Pen and paper…and a lot of tears. Oh, and I still don’t have it all out ...Read more.

Moments of greatness

I seem to have a predisposition for clumsiness and poor judgement. So consider this a wall of shame of some of my embarrassing moments. There is mostly physical clumsiness involved, but one does involve an incident with the police. 1. 11th grade. One day I was in a hurry at the end of the school ...Read more.

Guilty pleasures

It was a problem. At some point in high school, my best friend got me hooked on Santa Barbara. No, I am not the soap opera watching type. Sure, I did watch General Hospital for a while as a kid, but that was for Rick Springfield only. Clearly, that was a problem, too, given that ...Read more.

Pajama randomness

1. What’s wrong with this picture? Ok, that’s not really the right question exactly as the picture itself has nothing wrong with it other than the odd position I had to get into to attempt a straight-on photo that captured both door frames from top to bottom, and yes, I know I failed to get ...Read more.
