My heart belongs to them

January 31st, 2012 · 1 Comment · Humor: You're laughing WITH me, right?, Things I like

They’re calling me. From all the way across the house in the kitchen. In the pantry. Behind the flour bin. Candy hearts. Charlie can’t understand how I can be so addicted to Sweethearts. According to him, they’re nasty. And I honestly can’t explain my attraction to chalky bits of flavored sugar. But if you give [...]

You know how on Sunday, I spent a lot of time philosophizing and navel-gazing? Well, that’s not all I did. I also spent some time baking. I was in the mood to make something with pumpkin, so I went in search of a pumpkin bread recipe. I have this odd habit of never using the [...]

Like almost everyone’s these days, my birthday last Thursday began on Facebook. Greetings came in all day, pinging my phone over and over. Very heartwarming to see Happy Birthdays from so many people from my past and present. If Facebook is good for nothing else, it at least has increased the number of birthday greetings [...]

“This is the first year that I can remember NOT wanting fall to arrive” -Charlie, the proud owner of a boat on a lake that’s getting progressively colder. It feels like the summer boating season ended abruptly last week. Suddenly, no one’s eager to go in the water because they know they’ll have to get [...]

On unpacking and playing with words

Edna St. Vincent Millay Last Thursday I finally finished unpacking Abby’s room – from our move in June. The girl just has too many toys. They stayed in boxes for a long time because we hadn’t figured out where to store them. That morning, I woke up with a plan, and after two hours, I’d [...]

Why I love my work

So last week Charlie and I were at a conference, spending our days in seminars and our evenings at receptions at John Maxwell’s house. Really great teaching and interaction with conference attenders, but kind of exhausting. At the final reception on Sunday we were all a little punchy, so it wasn’t really a big surprise [...]
