At my church, I'm a part of a group called GAP. GAP is an acronym meaning Graduates And Professionals. I once heard our demographic described by a friend's 5-year-old son as "pretend adults." Anyway, we're a group made up of grad students and young professionals. I guess. I always have a hard time describing the … Continue reading The Entertainer

One Week Later: Life with the iPhone
I know it's just a phone. I mean, it's not just a phone. It's a tiny computer that fits in the palm of my hand. And it does so much more than Alexander Graham Bell ever dreamed that a telephone would do. But it's just a phone. Right? I really like it, though. I know. … Continue reading One Week Later: Life with the iPhone
What I Learned from Whole30
First of all, I think I'm well within my rights and privileges as a human being to stop and take a sigh of relief at having completed such an ordeal. *sigh* *relief* Okay, let's continue. Y'all, 30 days ago, I somehow got roped into participating in the Whole30 with a group of coworkers and friends. … Continue reading What I Learned from Whole30
One Day More – An End to Whole30
To celebrate this momentous occasion, I decided to alter the lyrics to "One Day More" from Les Misérables. It gets confusing toward the end with all the overlapping. But I felt like ending Whole30 with a musical number. So here it is... VALJEAN One day more… Another day another destiny This never-ending road to Calvary … Continue reading One Day More – An End to Whole30
Texting
Do you ever feel like people just aren't receiving my texts? Maybe it's just me that feels that way. After all, you probably don't care whether or not people are reading my text messages. I just have to wonder what's happening to the messages I'm sending out sometimes. And overthinking tends to make me a … Continue reading Texting
10 Foods I’ve Missed on Whole30
Kids, in less that one week, I will be finished with the 30 days required for the Whole30. I'm gonna kick this thing in the teeth. There have been so many things I've missed about my regular diet.

Whole30 Update: Day Nineteen
It occurred to me that the last time I wrote about being on Whole30, I was one mild annoyance away from a homicidal rampage. Y'all, it's gotten a lot better. I didn't kill anything or anyone. I didn't even go so far as to punch a pillow. Maybe I punched a pillow. I don't know. … Continue reading Whole30 Update: Day Nineteen
Plates
I like looking at license plates. Not so much the standard issue plates, but the vanity plates are awesome. I really like trying to figure out what they mean. Some, I find, are really easy. They basically spell out a person's name or inform you that the driver has eight grandchildren. Some aren't so easy. … Continue reading Plates
Valentine’s Day on Whole 30
It's Valentine's Day again. Honestly, I couldn't care less. I'm not dating anyone to convince me to care. However, my current predicament of being on Whole30 for the month of February (plus two days in March) got me thinking... What if you're dating someone on Whole30? I mean, let's say your sweetheart is doing Whole30 … Continue reading Valentine’s Day on Whole 30
All the Pizza
Maybe it's because I'm currently on Whole30 and life is basically miserable. But I've been thinking about pizza a lot lately. Because I can't have it. I miss it. I've said that already. I may be delusional. But in thinking about all the pizza I can't have, I've been thinking about all the different kinds … Continue reading All the Pizza
