I’m already 37 years old. Technically I’m fast approaching the dreaded “middle aged” phase of life.
And I wonder….
Is it too late for me to be extraordinary?
I have this idea in my head that most people don’t grow up expecting to be run-of-the-mill. Don’t we all think, at some level deep down, that we’re meant for [...]
What is the mystique of New Year’s Day? Why do we mark this as the time we will finally be more healthy, giving, loving, spiritual, whatever? If tomorrow we will essentially be the same biologically, financially, intellectually, etc, why do we put so much attention on one specific day that is nothing more than the [...]
It’s been kind of a rough year for Chez Crazy. God has been faithful and I’m sure it’s all been “for my good” (a la Romans 8:28), but in many ways I’m glad to be saying goodbye to this year. Let’s recap:
January
Got the news that I was being laid-off from my dream job as part-time [...]
Christmas is done. Tomorrow I’ll box up all the Christmas stuff while Jadyn is at preschool. This act is usually one of the most depressing tasks of the season for me.
But not this year.
I’m excited. I’m ready. Ready for this year to be over. Ready to move on.
There’s change in the wind. I can feel [...]
What is it that sparks creativity? What brings inspiration? If there is really nothing “new” under the sun, where do we get the idea that there is original thought?
I love being given the opportunity stretch my creative muscles. I have several projects bouncing around in my head, and it’s refreshing. I feel like I’m coming [...]
Yeah, I know. I bailed on NaBloPoMo. Oh well. There’s always next year.
I recently saw that another blogger I follow is pregnant. That’s two. Maybe I’ll stop reading blogs. I begrudge no one their joy, as I’ve said before, but sheesh. It smarts.
On an entirely different topic, I had a really good meeting today a [...]
When I first moved to the South 10 years ago, my husband Paul gave me a 3 hour discourse on football in the Southeastern Conference (SEC). During this lecture, I learned which teams were in each division, how many non-conference games occur each season, who the big rivals are, etc. I was armed with enough [...]
It’s been stressful, trying to make ends meet. I hate going to the grocery store. I hate looking through the closets and seeing big gaps in the wardrobes. The one bright spot is that I just got gas for $1.87 a gallon.
I’m even trying to get a part time job (on top of my full [...]
I love that my husband and I allow one another time on our own. He picked up Jadyn so I could hash out some creative ideas for church. I put Jadyn to bed so he could go hang out with a friend to talk about music.
We don’t have a perfect marriage, not by a long [...]
Hershey is a 9 year old 100 pound chocolate lab. His behavior since Jadyn was born, 3 years ago, has been on a steady decline. My going to work full time did not help matters any. But the past year has been the worst yet. I promise you, I think he’s becoming a goat.
