So maybe I’m stretching it a bit on the “fun”, but it is Friday. and there are fotos….well, photos. We begin today with the obligatory self portrait that we are all getting used to now, or should be….I wanted to show you how ridiculous my hair looks in the morning. Today I had a rooster [...]

My Funeral Music of Choice
2 1/2 years ago I attempted to write my own eulogy..complete with some details on the actual “service”. Who does this?! I don’t know, but I had recently been to a funeral, and, as it usually does, it got me thinking about what my funeral would look like, what people would say, etc. If you [...]

Working Out with Intention
To avoid getting bored when I work out, I’m always looking for something new to do and I like to have some specific plan or program to follow. There is no random, willy-nilly-ness to my exercise routine. I told you a little about that last year, here…wait, 2 years ago…wow, time flies. For example, [...]

Emotions-Can You Fake ‘em?
“Use the corresponding face for the corresponding emotion.” Meg Ryan in that movie where she goes to Paris to chase after her ex-fiancé. I’m one of those people who you can read like a book. If I’m happy, you’ll know it. If I’m confused, it’s written all over my face. If I’m mad, oh yeah, [...]

It was Friday again
It was Friday again. Happens every week, I suppose. And it’s my only full day off work. It’s also that special day I get to spend with Cameron. I’m soooo glad we pulled her out of public school. She’s 15 and time is racing by. She’s happy. She’s learning. and she’s a part of a [...]

Putting a face with a name
My friend and cousin (cousin/friend?) has a blog with a weekly post of snapshots of her kids, pets, etc. It’s nice to have a visual picture-especially for a person who is a visual learner like me. And…I just like pictures. So, at the risk of becoming an over sharer (and a bit narcissistic), I’m gonna [...]

DichotoME
I have 2 food obsessions. Blueberries and Twizzlers. I’m really a study in dichotomy. Blueberries are a super food. I could eat them every day. EVERY. DAY. Since they are kinda pricey right now–even the frozen is expensive since it’s not blueberry season–I don’t eat as much as I would like. Funny thing is, I [...]

Here we go again in 2010
I listened to this message from Andy Stanley. He said things like “Awareness drives discontentment”. “Life is expensive, death is cheap.” and “If you live with the assumption that all of the extra you have is for your consumption, then you are greedy and miss the point.” This is why I’m conflicted. I can’t find [...]

Advent. The Advent Season. The Season of Advent.
Advent. What is it? Every time I hear that word I have to think about what it means exactly…something about expecting…anticipating. ? Preparing? Something about Christmas and the days leading up to it. There are calendars and wreaths you can buy or make. This year I’m reading the Rediscovering Christmas reading plan on YouVersion (actually [...]

Things I want to do before Summer is Over
I’m making a list. Everyday is important. It’s Summer. I love summer. Which makes sense, I guess…I was born in summer. So, here’s a list of things I want to do before summer is over this year. Make homemade ice cream. I say this every year but hardly ever do it. Cameron says she doesn’t [...]
