"What is the dumbest thing you and your partner have ever fought about?" My husband and I dated in high school, then for a year in college, and then again in our 30s which is when we'd finally get engaged and then married. We have a LOT of time to pull from when it comes … Continue reading On shaking it off….
On learning life lessons…
I've had pets for almost as long as I can remember. My family got our first cat when I was probably ten years old. It was a huge error in judgment on my part...I didn't realize that once you feed a feral cat, he will continue to come back for more food. But he was … Continue reading On learning life lessons…
On eating it all up…
Thanksgiving is nearly upon us and now that Mothra has finally eased up on me, my pregnancy appetite is finally starting to kick into high gear. With my first pregnancy, I craved a lot of really healthy foods...I drank fruit and spinach smoothies like it was my job (technically, I guess it was) and stayed … Continue reading On eating it all up…
On falling out of trees…
I've been practicing yoga for a while now. Not a terribly long time, but for me (a person who chronically gives up on sports) it's been something I've stuck with almost as long as I did cheerleading. It's been about six years I think (I was a cheerleader for ten years). Yoga has been something … Continue reading On falling out of trees…
On learning to change…
I'd probably never use the word "addict" to describe myself. Even at my worst (which was when I was in my early-20s), when I was engaging in seriously questionable behavior and activities, I never would have said I was an addict. I say this because while I have a very malleable personality, when I'm doing doing … Continue reading On learning to change…
On fighting the fight…
I'm still at a loss today. I was hoping that a good sleep would help me wake up refreshed and ready to face a new day. Well, the sleep didn't come. I woke up in the middle of the night and actually thought, "This has to be a joke." Sadly, it is not. I'm still … Continue reading On fighting the fight…
On losing my luster…
"If you could say one thing to Hillary Clinton today, what would it be?" What about all the things I'm going to have to say to my daughters? - What a time to be alive! - What a time to be a woman! - What a time to raise daughters! None of these things have … Continue reading On losing my luster…
On reliving the past…
"If you could redo one moment in your life, what would it be and why? How would it change who you are now?" I don't particularly like looking back on life and wondering how mine could be different if I'd have made choice B over choice A. There are certain things I wish I'd have … Continue reading On reliving the past…
On ruining a meal…
When it comes to cooking, I don't fail often. Part of that stems from the fact that I'm not terribly adventurous in the kitchen. I'm a far braver baker than cook. So when I fail at cooking, I fail hard. There are a few instances I can choose from...the time I set my oven on fire … Continue reading On ruining a meal…
Sunday Brain Dump
This month, I'm going to use Sundays as brain dumb days. I don't even have the energy to come up with a marginally clever title. If I find something of importance or value to say, I will. If I don't, that's fine, too. Sometimes it's nice to just ramble. I'm 22 weeks pregnant right now … Continue reading Sunday Brain Dump
