Things I love today.

Posted on February 28, 2012 by

I won’t lie to you gentle reader, I hate being sad.  HATE IT.  I’m much better at being happy, or even mad for that matter.  Happiness and anger energize me while being sad incapacitates me until I turn into a … Continue reading →

Posted on February 27, 2012 by

Last Friday I did something I rarely do:  I bought meat from the deli counter.  And not just any deli meat, I chose lebanon bologna and liverwurst.  If you’ve never heard of these things before you’re not alone, the man behind … Continue reading →

Random ramblings.

Posted on February 21, 2012 by

Gentle reader, I’m in need of a good chat again.  It’s too cold to imagine porch swings today, so I’m picturing us before a toasty fire on the couch drinking hot chocolate.  With marshmallows of course, I’m no philistine. I’m … Continue reading →

No rest for the wicked.

Posted on February 20, 2012 by

On Sundays I help oversee the children’s group, ages 3-11.  We call this ‘Primary’ in my church, and most Sundays I love my job.  I love how 55 kids call me “Teacher.”  I love knowing their dramas and triumphs.  Most … Continue reading →

My favorite thing to do in the winter.

Posted on February 18, 2012 by

Gentle reader, it’s cold here in Indianapolis.  We’ve managed to have a few days with some sunshine, but it’s still downright chilly.  Alas, the winter blues are in full force.  I find myself wearing sweaters, eternally sniffling, and complaining about … Continue reading →

My compost brings all the cats to the yard. My compost is better than yours.

Girl meets boy.

Posted on February 14, 2012 by

Twelve years ago, in a dress size far far away from what she wears now, a girl met a boy.  Better yet, she met the boy.  The one who called when he said he would.  The one who listened to … Continue reading →
