“Hmm, that’s strange, it smells a little like something’s burning,” I thought vaguely to myself, then quickly dismissed the fleeting notion as I went back to wiping out kitchen cabinets at our friends’ house, while Kent helped load their moving truck. Moments later, I really smelled smoke. What happened next was over and done in […]

Judging by the dates on the messages in the Deleted Items folders of my work and personal accounts, it’s been about four months since my last email purge. Total tally of deleted messages I have accumulated since then? Over 4000. As in four THOUSAND pointless pieces of information to cross my screen in recent months, […]

This morning, I did something not very nice. But I had a change of heart, corrected my mistake, and am glad to say that this story has a happy ending.

I’m sporting a new look tonight … a goose egg in the back of my head. All because of a birthday party. An ice skating party. You already see where this is going, don’t you? I had been planning to drop Maia off at the party, but common sense got the better of me since […]

I, as do all living, breathing, bipedal creatures who presume to classify themselves as genus “homo” species “sapiens,” have many character flaws that routinely put me in my place and prove me only human. But probably the most fatal is that I was not exactly blessed with the gift of patience. Just ask anyone who […]

Hoo boy. It’s a good thing I have a sense of humor and know how to laugh at myself about these things. Kent and I had a hearty laugh today at my expense. And he was most definitely laughing at me, not with me. As we were driving home from church this morning, Kent brought […]

I was going to write a post about the things people do that really get on my nerves, but I’ve deleted it because as I started writing, I realized I can be guilty of doing them too. Isn’t that the way it always is? We recognize faults in others long before we think to turn […]
