little silver can therapy.

In all of my melancholy moodiness paired with the 40 Days of Water challenge I’ve realized how much some beverages mean to me. I currently don’t rely on any sort of beverage to get me through a particular situation, like coffee through an early morning meeting or wine to help me over the anxiety thatContinue reading “little silver can therapy.”

how I found my hammies in a room full of grannies.

“That awkward moment when you bring your mat to a new yoga class and realize it’s actually a seated senior citizen yoga class.” I stayed for the entire class. Towards the end of the class the instructor said “Close your eyes and imagine yourself floating and swaying high above the ground in a peaceful hotContinue reading “how I found my hammies in a room full of grannies.”

an unfamiliar stumble.

So this one’s new. My entire body is completely and utterly depressed while my brain stays afloat in a little pharmaceutical lifeboat tossed around on a sea of misery. Think Life of Pi minus the tiger. (Sub in a one eyed cat with thumbs if you must.) I still have my wits about me, butContinue reading “an unfamiliar stumble.”

Jake and the Never Land Pirates Themed Party

Cody’s seventh annual 27th birthday is in just under a month. Addie’s 100 month birthday is just over one month away. (Sidenote: Rather than having a big 8th birthday bash, we’re going with a 100 month birthday bash. I thought it up myself. I’m awfully excited about it.) Vivi’s second birthday is in two monthsContinue reading “Jake and the Never Land Pirates Themed Party”

cold, cold, cold and some words.

It’s the end of the month which means round up time on all the things Cody and I did when we weren’t here, in Utah or Mexico. (February went kind of fast, no? I mean, it still sucks with all this cruddy weather and while part of me is optimistic that it’s almost March andContinue reading “cold, cold, cold and some words.”

when your other friends get married.

20 months ago a boy named Abe played his guitar at Brooke and Parker’s wedding. At the end of the night he asked out Brooke’s little sister, Brittany. Yesterday Brittany and Abe were married as enormous flakes of snow fell silently to the ground behind them. These weddings aren’t fair to all the other weddings,Continue reading “when your other friends get married.”

weak, strong, three to two.

I was supposed to be on a direct flight from Indianapolis to Salt Lake City Friday morning with Addie and Vivi for a wedding on Saturday, Addie was going to fly home alone on Monday and I was going to stay behind with Vivi until Saturday. Because of weather the flight was cancelled Thursday eveningContinue reading “weak, strong, three to two.”

vivis yelling like goats

I should like to scold Indiana and put it in a time out for the most recent weather we’ve been having. Who needs 30mph 25 degree winds with snow flurries? No one. That’s who. Never have I wanted my groceries to march themselves inside than I did this afternoon. The older I get the moreContinue reading “vivis yelling like goats”

bueno.

Last night I had to tell Cody to quit looking at a baby. At Hooters. Wait, you didn’t go to Hooters on Valentine’s Day? Pobrecito, because we did. (Cody wanted wings, I wasn’t going to argue.) Technically the wings were dessert since we ate this before dinner: That is ICE CREAM FONDUE. Tiny little scoopsContinue reading “bueno.”

my forty days.

My religion does not observe Lent, but I’ve always liked the idea. Gathering together in solidarity and going without for a greater purpose. Alli asked me if I would participate in the Forty Days of Water campaign through Blood:Water Mission this year to help build wells in Uganda and bring awareness to Blood:Water’s mission. TheContinue reading “my forty days.”
