The Limit Does Not Exist!

Except that it does. And I'm sorry for the click-bait-y nature of that post title. That is clearly a direct quote from Mean Girls. But that's as close to this post being about Mean Girls as I'm gonna get. I apologize. I've made more than a few financial missteps in my adult life. It's easy to … Continue reading The Limit Does Not Exist!

May I Please See the Manager?

I had another weird dream last night. It started out normal enough... but it took a turn. The extended family of my childhood had all gotten together to have dinner at this seafood restaurant that we were apparently very familiar with. In reality, I did not recognize this place at all. But in the dream, … Continue reading May I Please See the Manager?

I Suffer From RBF, Part II

I'm sure you can tell from the title that this is the sequel to a post I wrote some time ago. To recap: RBF stands for "Resting Bitch Face" and it's something I definitely have. I have this tendency to look stressed out or super angry when my face is just at rest with no … Continue reading I Suffer From RBF, Part II

I Know It’s Stupid… But…

Smart phones. Both a blessing and a curse, am I right? Maybe just a curse, depending on how you look at them. I simply mean there are a lot of conveniences that can be great for making out lives easier. And there are also a lot of things associated with those tiny pocket computers that … Continue reading I Know It’s Stupid… But…

Might Be Time For a New Prescription

I know... I just posted yesterday about how I'm turning 40 next month. And now I'm writing a post about my failing vision. I promise, I don't always feel this old. About a week ago, I was driving behind a Jeep that was adorned in several pieces of Virginia Tech memorabilia. One of the decals … Continue reading Might Be Time For a New Prescription

A Month Before 40

Kids, a month from today I will be 40 years old. Let that sink in... Forty. The big 4-0. There was a time when I'm sure I thought of 40 as old. That is no longer the case. In fact, I'm not sure I think of any age as old anymore. No, that's definitely a … Continue reading A Month Before 40

Waiting

I'm no doctor. Therefore, I clearly have no clue what goes into a physician's day to day in the life of a family clinic. I don't know what issues come up and I don't know what stresses a doctor has to deal with on a regular basis. Because of this, take what I'm about to … Continue reading Waiting

Kill Baby Hitler?

I know... that picture really has nothing to do with the title of this post. But I didn't want to use a picture of a random baby. I sure didn't want to use a picture of Adolf Hitler. So... yeah. It's the classic philosophical question... If you had access to some kind of time travel … Continue reading Kill Baby Hitler?

What Is a Test?

Due to this blog post's subject matter, I felt it necessary to put the title in the form of a question. I know what a test is. This isn't the kind of question that needs an answer. It's the kind of question that is the response to an answer. You know... like on Jeopardy! Around this … Continue reading What Is a Test?

Morning Announcements – A Prequel

A few days ago I shared a post about experiencing the morning announcements in a school where I recently worked. And it got me thinking about the morning announcements that we heard each morning in high school. During my freshman year at Patrick Henry, there was this guy who did the announcements every day. He … Continue reading Morning Announcements – A Prequel
