thankful thursday: drunkenly aware

Sometimes it’s nice to be reminded of who you are.  This past weekend I had a moment of total self-realization between a stripper pole dancing class, the hot bods in the resort pool and a dance floor of a Palm Springs hotel.  You could say that I found myself between a pole and a hard…

sista sista: an ode to shane

An ode to woman for which you shouldn’t be surprised Because we come from the same cloth, Shane Parmely, you and I. We are true sisters from a long away tribe that had feistiness and spriteliness and goddess inside. For you see my all of me, the warts and beauty within you bring out my…

new favorite app: iperiod

Ladies, you know when you go to the doctor and they ask you, “What was the first day of your last period?” Most the time I would respond, “Hell if I know, but it was awful.” And then it would take me 5 minutes to look at my calendar and try to figure it out…

a mom is born

Becoming a mom for me was a choice.  I was very fortunate that when I wanted a baby it happened (and conversely when I didn’t want a baby, it didn’t happen!).  Having children with Husband was a part of the deal that I signed on for when I said, “I do.”  If it were not…

the blahs

Do you ever get the blahs?  Where really, you could just lie on the couch all day and watch tv?  Or if you were really raising the bar you’d read all day, not answer your phone, eat chocolate frosting and drink too much wine?  Naw, that was this weekend, not today.  Oh wait, I’m a…

loving frank

It first caught my eye when a librarian was putting the book back on the shelves.  It was something about that beautiful, warm sunset gold color against a geometric design that reminded me of Frank Llloyd Wright and it echoed the only kind of stained glass that I am fond of.  I just happened to…

let’s just get naked

A dear friend invited me over to have a play date, a glass of wine, and hopefully a slip in the hot tub.  I can assure you it wasn’t as sexy as it may sound.  We were just hoping to catch a moment of relaxation and bubbles while the kids ran around.  In short, it…

i love blue people and other cinematic distractions

Avatar 2009 20th Century Fox

I don’t know if I’ve adequately explained thus far how much I love movies and books.  They are completely my escape.  I also love how both fuel my imagination.  I’m canceling my Netflix account because essentially I get what I want from our local library.  It’s free to rent movies (and music! I’m stocking up…

who’s laughing now

MIL dog

I just took my MIL to the airport.  PTL and I mean it!  I have so many mixed feelings about her.  I think that she is a great demonstration of god’s little practical and private jokes with me.  We do have a few good moments together, but the rest of the time I’m just left…
