Have you ever watched one of those cop shows where someone is locked in a room, hiding out from John Law, and the cops on duty finally get tired of yelling through the wall/door at the perp…and so they just kick the door in?
Did you ever think to yourself, “Yeah, right.”
Well, I witnessed it IN […]

…and into my adult mouth.
It’s the Chef Boyardee Cheese Pizza Kit.
Complete with dough mix, canned sauce, and the not-quite-enough-to-cover-the-whole-pizza parmesan cheese packet.
I think I lived on them from about the 4th to the 8th grade.
And I made it for my lunch today.
Mmm. Chef Boyardee Cheese Pizza.
I am convinced I could eat 2 or 3 of […]

Thanks to the Craving Grace blog, I have this little gem:
According to this Blogthings quiz…

Your caffeine addiction level: high
What Kind of Coffee Are You?
I can see it. (except […]

Tonight I finished working on a nursery commission for MFL (Lindsey)…well actually, for a gift for Lindsey’s expectant cousin (didn’t want anyone to get the wrong idea because of my awful syntax.)
ANYWAY…I used spray adhesive for the wings of the dragonfly.
Spray adhesive and me. Not friends.
The wings stuck to the paper that I put underneath […]

I never thought it’d happen to us: we have a “tree hugger” in our family.
Literally.
We routinely go to the Birmingham Botanical Gardens to (a) get out of the house, (b) get some sun and shade, and (c) give our girls a chance to run wide open for as long as their legs will hold them.
The […]

I visited my own blog (here) today and was shocked to see that the last post was on April 22nd.
APRIL. 22ND.
Three weeks ago. THREE WEEKS!
Holy Moses! Where’d the time go?!
Then I spent the last half-hour re-reading my past posts back to 2 weeks before we moved to Birmingham for the sole purpose of determining how […]

“Lifelong” friends are great
Short term friends have their place, too
Both needed for a rich life.
I haven’t spoken to MFR at all since we moved to Birmingham in January. Which, for Ru and I, is like an eternity.
And God knows it wasn’t for her lack of trying.
So last night, she finally caught up to me at […]

I am just about to walk out the door to go to work.
The 2-10pm shift. At the store that draws problems and crazy people like a light attracts bugs.
And tomorrow (Easter Sunday), I work 8am-4pm.
It’s the first time in 7 years that I will have to work on Easter Sunday.
(Sigh.)
It’s made me think about Easter […]

After a hard-fought and hard-won battle over lunch today in which one child ate only grapes and the other went to bed crying and probably still pretty hungry, I verbalized this observation:
(Me, to Paul)
“I don’t think our children understand how fully committed I am to doing what is right for them.”
(God, to me)
“I was thinking […]
