You see that unassuming, thirty-something guy in the corner of the table?
The one in the grey shirt?

This is him attending the baby shower of a co-worker.
Ya’ll wanna know what this guy brought as his present?

I’m having one of those days when my brain is too full of life’s busyness. I just can’t seem to come up with something to write about.
Our FBI clearances came in yesterday in preparation for us sending out our profile to potential birth-mothers so we can adopt. But I’m reluctant to let myself [...]

Okay. I’ve been tagged by Missy over at It’sAlmostNaptime with this funky little meme thing. I like this one because it is actually hard for me to do. I mean, come on…how on earth am I gonna limit a memoir of complicated, wonderful me to SIX WORDS?
I thought of being cryptic and [...]

Ya know that silly thing that happens when you buy brand new white tennis shoes and it becomes abundantly clear just how very dingy the old ones were.? The blinding light shining up from your feet when you wear brand new tennis shoes is very distracting. It’s almost enough to make you want to go [...]

I realize that in opening this can-o-worms up for comments I’m gonna get flooded with advice here. That’s okay. I look forward to sifting through all of it with my hubby and deciding what’s right for us.
As a potential adoptive (eventually) mommy I’ve been thinking a lot about the STUFF that everybody buys to go [...]

Not my twins. We don’t have a match yet, so we don’t know what God will give us (twins, boy, girls, siblings whatever) for quite a while yet.
But our associate pastor and his wife have been waiting for over 5 years and they have finally been blessed with twins boys! They posted photos from the [...]

One of my favorite things in life is reading.
Reading, curled up in a comfy chair. With a blanket round my feet and a cat trying desperately to get between me and the book and a mug of tea somewhere in arms reach. Rainy or cold days are a bonus.
Reading, stretched out on a beach blanket, [...]

This past Saturday it was scheduled to rain all day.
And boy howdy it sure did. It rained loud, it thundered, lightening-ed, blew hard, and whispered quietly. It misted, it came down in sheets, at times it sounded almost like hail.
It was truly a fashion show of everything rain can do to a house.

how did TWENTY YEARS fly by?
20 years ago I had a restaurant. Teen-aged kids hung out there and I secretly loved the song they were all begging us to play so they could sing along: Hangin’ Tough had just come out.
So what do I read in the paper just now?
