I just need to say it out loud. I want a cookie. I don’t need a cookie. I’m not hungry. I’ve already had two cookies. I still want another cookie, and probably another cookie, and probably another. I am aware that this is not a healthy choice. If I was
Have you ever listened to a song, and it just resonates somehow with you? I’ve recently become enamored with a song by Steven Curtis Chapman from his latest project, Glorious Unfolding. I am partially drawn to this song because it tells a story and I’m a “story girl.” The music
I am addicted to Ugly Betty. Yes, I admitted that. It’s true. Several years ago, I watched the whole series, episode after episode. I’m repeating my Ugly habit. I identify with Betty. No, I don’t have braces and I don’t ever wear a poncho. I can’t make empanadas, and I

Hello! Let me introduce myself….. Since it’s been so long since blogging, I feel as if I need to clarify who I am! No, I haven’t changed and I haven’t been doing some secret makeover. I’ve had plenty to say, I’ve just been lazy. Yup, there you have it, the
Today is supposed to be “get on a plane” day. Not looking so good. Today is supposed to be the official start of my Sweetie and I’s escape to the East coast. Today is supposed to be one of those “WooHoo!” days. Right now, today is just today. Life is
It’s trash day. If you were to look around my neighborhood, it’s pretty obvious. When the truck comes down our street, it’s pretty obvious. Trash trucks are noisy; they are not sneaky in any way. I know he’s there even if he comes super early and I’m still in bed!
