It is Spring time and Mother Nature didn’t get the memo that April, not May, was supposed to bring the showers. We had a glorious weekend while our out-of-town guests were here, blue skies, low humidity, and highs in the 80s. But on Monday, as soon as they were about to fly out, the skies started clouding up. It’s been… Read more »
Today I was working on a project and needed to put down estimated dates of completion. I was slightly horrified to realize that it is going to be May in two days and I don’t seem to remember much of April. (Or even March for that matter; if it wasn’t for SXSW, I don’t think I would have much recollection… Read more »
Happy Valentine’s Day to those of you who celebrate. I’m in a weird place this year with the whole holiday. I guess it’s a good thing that we’re going to drive to San Antonio for a birthday party for a little boy who we didn’t think would make it to 3. He’s an adorable little guy who’s been so sick… Read more »

I see these types of things all the time on feeds, today is… Sister’s Day, Best Friend’s Day, Bizarre Food Day… I actually looked it up. It really is World Cancer Day today. And it feels kinda weird to include myself… Read more »

Of course, I… Read more »
The final installment of the #LoveMe Challenge is upon us. First, thanks for being part of this journey. It’s actually been a good exercise for me to think about these types of concepts, roll thoughts around in my head, and get the writing flowing. At times, I think I sound like a sanctimonious windbag, but all the thoughts are honest… Read more »
In the #LoveMe Challenge, today I’m supposed to share something that makes me unique. I have a wonky eye. When I was born, both my eyes seemed to work well. But my parents noticed when I was about 9 months old, my left eye began to wander. And I began showing decreased hand-eye coordination reaching for things with my left… Read more »
Something you are proud of – that’s the task for today’s #LoveMe Challenge. I went to Catholic school and we were taught that pride is not a good thing. And that always bothered me because weren’t you supposed to take pride in your work? I heard that an awful lot from people growing up. Take pride in your work meant… Read more »
Today’s #LoveMe Challenge is something that you love to wear. This one has me unsure of what I can write about. I do love a pair of high heels that I own; but I actually don’t wear them that often and when I do, I spend hours complaining about how my feet hurt. I have a long-sleeve t-shirt thingy with… Read more »
