I first did a 100 Random Facts post not long after I began this blog. But that was four years ago. I did an update in 2017, but things continue to change. Because that's life. The only thing you can be sure of in life is that things will change. Also, ever since Paul hosted … Continue reading 100 Random Facts About Me 3.0

My Favorite Posts from 2018
This is another one that's pretty much become an annual tradition here at The Confusing Middle. Yesterday I looked back at which posts from the year were the most viewed according to the WordPress analytics. Today, I'm pulling out the posts that I personally enjoyed writing the most. I will say that there are some on … Continue reading My Favorite Posts from 2018
2018 in Review
I thought for sure I had done one of these year in review posts at the end of 2017. In fact, I thought I'd done something similar every year on this blog. But that's not the case. No, I only did a year in review post at the end of 2016. When I looked back … Continue reading 2018 in Review
Predictions for 2019
Kids, I don't consider myself much of a clairvoyant. But as the final hours of 2018 slowly tick away, I sit here and can't help but look ahead at the year to come. I would like to share some of my predictions for 2019 with you. Many people will continue to utilize Facebook, Twitter, and … Continue reading Predictions for 2019

Baby, It’s Cold Outside
It bothers me. But not for the reasons you're probably thinking. Recently, "Baby, It's Cold Outside" has been in the news because people are suddenly offended by a 74 year old song. People want it banned from radios. Y'all, I've been saying for years that the classic holiday song is highly inappropriate. FOR YEARS! And … Continue reading Baby, It’s Cold Outside
Ghosting the Telemarketers
I hate getting calls from telemarketers. And I think it's safe to assume I'm not alone in that particular hatred. Most of the time, these calls are completely unsolicited. It's not like I've put my phone number out there for random companies to find and dial up so that I can buy something I don't … Continue reading Ghosting the Telemarketers
Fitting In
Disclaimer: I'm gonna get kind of introspective here. I want to make it clear that nothing that's written below is a reflection on any of the people around me. This post is just about me and something I'm struggling with these days. I've gone through a number of fairly major changes in the last couple … Continue reading Fitting In
Thankful…
Y'all... I got nothing today. I don't know what it is. Writer's block? A slight inability to properly express gratitude? I started out this post trying to come up with a list of 100 things I'm thankful for. I got to ten. Then I started trying to write something about whether or not we, as … Continue reading Thankful…
Broke as a Joke
It's humbling to watch that beautiful new paycheck containing your brand new salary as it suddenly dwindles down to nothing. I'm not trying to say that I was foolhardy with my paycheck. No... In fact, I started out being pretty wise about how my newfound wealth was to be spent and/or saved. See, I've gone … Continue reading Broke as a Joke
