maybe the best hasn’t happened yet
one of the fun things about having a blog is that it's an electronic archive of your soul. on any given day you can type a word or phrase into your website's search engine and find all of your previous thoughts and feelings on said topic in a particular moment in time. it's a time ...
just one spoon
a monday chuckle: so last tuesday when i was out with the stomach flu, food was the last thing on my radar. in an attempt to keep my stomach contents, well, inside my stomach, i pretty much stuck to berry-flavored powerade and ginger ale. but by around 3:00 p.m., i discovered an appetite again. it was then that ...
adventures in the everyday
my life just feels really small, i thought. i mean, understandably so, i had just gotten back from a vacation of a lifetime -one with marsupials and dinners out and new cities to explore every few days. anything would pale in comparison. on any other given day, i would have welcomed my "you can set a watch by my ...
let them eat cake
Cakes have gotten a bad rap. People equate virtue with turning down dessert. There is always one person at the table who holds up her hand when I serve the cake.

the rest of the story
before i had a license of my own, my step-dad (toppie) would drop me off at school every morning on his way to work. we'd always listen to talk radio. "kay-oh-gee-oh, news 600," the dj's voice would sound in a booming voice over the radio as we tuned in to the day's top stories, weather ...
more heart, less attack
needtobreathe just released their latest album, "rivers in the wasteland" and it is, as expected, fabulous. in fact, i have been playing it on repeat all afternoon. but of the eleven tracks, perhaps my favorite, at least lyrically speaking, is their final song entitled "more heart, less attack." the first verse alone could very well ...
