Soooo, today is the last Monday in 2013. How crazy is that? Very, right? Usually, I like to take the last week off from blogging so I can spend time with my family and recharge the creative battery but I didn’t do a very good job of timing my “100 Things” posts, and I don’t…
100 Things: Part VI {About Me}
51. I had seizures as a child. In fact, my last one was so bad the doctor told my mother he wasn’t sure I’d ever regain my memory. Can you imagine being told your child may never know who you are? 52. I have an incredibly bad temper and it takes a lot for me…
100 Things: Part V {About Me}
Are you guys sick of me yet? I think you now know more about me than the NSA…. 41. I can bake three things really well: Orange Cranberry Loaf, Banana Nut Bread, and Dried Fruit Bread 42. Seinfeld taught me one thing: if you look really frustrated people will think you’re busy and leave you…
100 Things: Part IV {About Me}
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Psalm 139:14 {NIV} What a powerful declaration! Each and every time I hear a story about a child being bullied, I just want to grab him or her and say 2 things: you are made in…
100 Things: Part III {About Me}
A few weeks ago, the family and I were sitting around the dinner table talking when Miss 20 said, “You never know how crazy your parents are until you move out and then come back home.” blank stare I proceeded to explain to her that we are not crazy, my parents are crazy. Their dad’s…
100 Things: Part II {About Me}
Thinking of things to tell about myself is harder than I thought it’d be. I go through the list of stuff I could write, and I think no one cares about that… But then I think about my #fistbumpfriday posts and how I try to encourage everyone to celebrate not just the big moments but…
100 Things: Part I {About Me}
During my interview, one of the questions asked was the standard “Tell me about yourself.” I never know how to answer that question. Do they want the personal or professional answer? Here’s my answer: A few years ago, a librarian friend of mine asked all of us to write our “unofficial” library biographies and share…My…
Visit to St. Louis {About Me}
When the kids were little, the hubs and I figured out a work around for the dreaded travel questions. You know the ones: Where we going? How long are we staying? Are we there yet? We simply quit giving the kids advanced notice about trips. Instead, we’d wait until a few minutes before we ready…
Flowers and Favorites {About Me}
Have you ever had one of those days where everything is just meh? You’re neither happy nor sad, bored nor busy? That was Friday. Until I got phone call from the florist asking if I was home to receive a delivery. What?! Who would be sending me flowers? The hubs is terribly allergic to anything…
Three Things {About Me}
This year is a year of celebration for me. Not that I don’t celebrate every year, but this year I turned forty. Actually, I turned forty on yesterday and today I’m celebrating my eighteenth wedding anniversary. Yes, I realize I totally hosed myself on the gift department…but being married to my bff is the gift.…
