on fearing and finding.

It’s a very strange thing to have really big emotions. When you’re young they’re looked upon as a flaw or weakness, and it continues that way until you’re grown — unless you learn how to use them. I’m still trying to figure out how to use mine. Creativity seems to be the best outlet forContinue reading “on fearing and finding.”

the one about all the stomach flu blues.

Hey. So I’m just going to go ahead and get it all out about today. Vomit. Vomit and poop for the last 48 hours from everyone but me. (SO FAR.) When there are three people suffering from this kind of sick and only one of the three is self sufficient that leaves me with theContinue reading “the one about all the stomach flu blues.”

NYCharging.

Hey there, lost my mind today when my lunch was interrupted several times by someone who claimed they didn’t know how to wash strawberries and then again by someone who kept making demands of said strawberries. I feel I should also mention I was hiding in the kitchen to eat my lunch so the circlingContinue reading “NYCharging.”

did you know cats never forgive?

Cody’s been telling me all sorts of random facts about cats lately. “Did you know that 80% of cats carry a bacteria that causes depression in humans?” No, but I’m well aware husbands have a 100% chance of causing grumpiness in their wives. “Did you know cats just think of us as big clumsy cats?Continue reading “did you know cats never forgive?”

here’s what I don’t care about (sponsored by home run inn pizza)

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Home Run Inn Pizza. ******* I once saw a triangle with ‘sanity’ ‘clean house’ and ‘happy kids’ written at each corner. In the middle of the triangle it said PICK TWO. I picked happy kids and sanity. I can have a clean house whenContinue reading “here’s what I don’t care about (sponsored by home run inn pizza)”

reports from the polar vortex

To anyone who has never truly experienced humid cold, bless. Growing up in Utah where it would snow two feet overnight and one was still expected to make to school on time, the way Indiana reacts to weather has always amused me. Two hour delays and school cancellations for a few inches of snow. ADORABLE.Continue reading “reports from the polar vortex”

plastic surgery, perfection and please don’t let me screw this up.

I had my eyes checked today, they have continued to improve over the last several years. Three years ago my prescription continued to hold strong at -5.00 (twice legally blind! whee!) Last year I demoted (promoted?) to a -4.75. Today? -4.25! My eyesight is basically the only thing that has improved since turning 30. DON’TContinue reading “plastic surgery, perfection and please don’t let me screw this up.”

cruising, wiping out and NASCAR

I wonder if Cody will remember as much about our vacation last week as I remember about our cruise back in November, which isn’t much. While I remember everything overall (the gorgeous dining room, the shopping mall in the middle of the ship, a few of the shows and how big and bright our roomContinue reading “cruising, wiping out and NASCAR”

15 things about the past 15 days.

2014 is already 1/24th over and I’ve not done a thing around here, not that I haven’t wanted to — I’ve just been busy keeping other people alive. Tiring work, keeping other people alive. But I feel as though I need to give you a brief update, as well as document things for myself becauseContinue reading “15 things about the past 15 days.”

hey 2013, it’s been real.

So a lot of good, exciting and once in a lifetime stuff went down in 2013, which maybe explains why it went by so fast? I decided in October I was going to make a reverse life list, acknowledging all of the crazy and amazing stuff I’ve been blessed enough to do instead of focusingContinue reading “hey 2013, it’s been real.”
