God has thrown me a bit of a curveball and I’m kind of laughing about it this morning. I laugh because it has taken me a while to realize it is a new direction, even as I have been walking the new path He laid out in front of me. I’ve always been a bigger [...]

We have had a busy summer.
Staying at Dad’s House.
I’m staying at Dad’s house for a week in town (what we call the big city of Roanoke since we live in a small town). I haven’t stayed at Dad and Mom’s house in a few years. Mom has been gone for 18 months now and I’m still not used to the quiet her absence [...]
Piercings and Tattoo Parlors.
I decided to get my ears pierced. The second hole, and the third. Sarah and I went over to Springfield Town Center (for all you Springfield, VA natives, formerly known as Springfield Mall.) I knew that Claire’s was a cheap fairly clean place I could get my ears done but did I really want, as [...]

Hey Friends. This has been my view for a week or so now. I’ve been working on websites, organizing my life, journaling, and eating Oui yogurt. (TMI but the dairy is killing me, so this is the last one for a while.) That’s my life right now, so nice chatting with you okay bye. I [...]

Whose idea was it anyway? It is hard, man. H-A-R-D. Not the words. I've got tons of words. It's the discipline of [...]
Just a few Life Lessons.
On the porch this morning, I stared at the blank pages of my journal. Tons of thoughts swirling around in my head, none of them coherent enough to put on paper. It’s been like this for months. Like a drain clogged with frustration, anger, questions. Searching for the peace that passes all understanding and finding [...]
Sometimes, Life Just Sucks.
I started this on Random Wednesday, aka Wicked Wednesday.I have been so torn lately.Why am I writing this blog? For myself?For my many five readers?Why do I read other blogs? Do I want to be entertained? I mean I live with Sue's Zoo: The Man; two teenagers; one tween; five psychotic fish that follow us [...]
Wait…THIS is my life?
I think we're wired (especially women) at an early age to be looking to the future."You're too young...""When you're older...""Someday, my prince will come...""When I graduate from high school (college) (vet school)...""When I get married...""When I am financially able to..."You get the picture.It dawned on me this morning during my quiet time that this IS [...]
