CHICKEN IN THE CROSSFIRE

What came first the chicken or the hate?  I would venture hate and the poor chicken just got stuck on the wrong side of the road.  Seriously, what did the chicken ever do?  I mean some business owner has an opinion, donates profits to organizations of his choosing and the world goes bat shit crazy! …

POKER FACE

I love to play Texas Hold’em!  For awhile it was what I did after the family went to bed.  I am a night person so I am always last to bed and usually I read but for awhile it was Poker.  It wasn’t winning that I loved it was the characters that played.  You see…

OUT OF CURIOUSITY

I am really posting this because I am curious.  I have been writing a story I have in my head.  I am not a writer and I don’t really know the first thing about doing it correctly.  I would love to know what you think about this small piece.  It happens to be the last…

IT’S ALL ABOUT ME

I have a friend who likes to tell me, “It isn’t always about you!”  Often times I feel like that phrase needs to be reflected back at him but sometimes he is right.  I am making this post ALL ABOUT ME! I think being clumsy is charming. – Probably because I am the clumsiest person…

INSTAGRAM KIND OF LIFE

I feel like my life has become a series of pictures.  Instead of memories I have albums.  My personality no longer matters… I am now judged on lighting, angle, contrast.  If my pictures are interesting I must be interesting. Most of my blog pictures come from Instagram.  You can tell so much about a person…

EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER

I woke up singing.  That is not a good thing for anyone but me.  “There was love all around but I never heard it singing no, I never heard it at all ’till there was you!”  What in the *&%$ has gotten into me?  Don’t get me wrong I like it but it isn’t the…

COMBUSTIBLE LAUGHTER

Have you ever been in the middle of an extremely stressful situation and just started laughing?  It has happened several times for me this week.  It is funny to me how a person can go from one extreme emotion to the next and when it ends in laughter can feel so peacefully calm after.  What…

PERFECTLY IMPOSSIBLE

It is a beautiful new day. The birds woke me up at 6:30 but I didn’t mind because I actually slept really well. I woke my daughter up and I roller-bladed as she rode her bike. It was a beautiful morning and I realized how much I miss doing things with her. I am taking…

WHERE IMPERFECTLY PERFECT GOES TO DIE

People who know me or know OF me are always surprised when I tell them I am very socially awkward.  Being social takes a whole lot of bravery and constant mental pep talks.  For a very long time I was content just working, being a wife, going to school and then one day it included…

A CORINTHIANS KIND OF LOVE TILL THE END

At the same moment I was saying a mutual goodbye to my best friend this morning I received a text from “Froggie”.  About a week ago I wrote a post I dedicated to him and his family “A CORINTHIANS KIND OF LOVE”.  His text told me his father has passed away.  I am sad I…
