It’s been close to a month since we returned from vacation and I’ve had neither the time nor the energy to share about all of our adventures. So, I still don’t have the energy. Sorry about that. But, I do have pictures. And they are worth a thousand words, or so I’ve heard. So, in reality, this story has like 26,000 words.
I posted a photo via Instagram a week or so ago and boy oh boy, did I have some ladies talking. I didn’t realize it until I was at a fundraiser Tuesday night and one of my favorites asked, ‘ok, so who’s the guy?’ I lol’d and said, ‘well, he’s my cousin.’ Second cousin, actually, but he sure is cute isn’t he? And, he’s half my age. I’m not sure what that says about me. Does he look older?

I found myself a foreigner in another church tonight. Well, not really a foreigner, I guess, but I did refer to myself as ‘an invader.’ Continue reading
Several months back, I got myself in trouble. Well, at the time I probably wasn’t in trouble but now that several months have passed, I’m feeling like I’m in trouble. See, a couple of my mom friends are uber-crazy runner people. And I don’t use terms like ‘uber-crazy’ lightly. We’re all ‘friends’ on Fitbit and when I compare my weekly step count to theirs, well … let’s just say I feel like a lahoo-saher. And then I don’t want to be ‘friends’ with them anymore. Yet, I continue to wear my Fitbit so I can dream about keeping up. Continue reading
There’s a quote I’ve seen shared numerous times over the past few years … to the point that I wonder if it’s become cliche.
“Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass; it’s about learning to dance in the rain.” – Vivian Greene
But on days like today, when we’re in the midst of vacation in a normally beautiful locale and periods of driving rain, it feels appropriate because goshdarnit, sometimes you just have to find a way to dance. Continue reading
It’s been one of those weeks that comes with so many ebbs and flows that you really just start to feel a bit seasick by the end of it. Although I’m not actually going to throw up, I can’t lie and say that I haven’t wanted to a few times. Continue reading
I’m quite confident that everyone in the U.S. outside of (maybe) southern Florida can agree that this has been a very difficult winter.
And no, I don’t intend to argue if this winter compares to those when ‘you’ were young or debate whether the snow storms of this last couple of months compares with that of 1978. Let’s just say it does and agree to disagree. Continue reading
