Kids, it occurs to me that, since I've come back from my self-imposed blogging hiatus, I have not shared the details of my recent move. Seems like that would be an important topic to blog about, seeing as how I used the move as an excuse to put off my return to blogging. Even though, … Continue reading Did I Mention I Moved?
Work
Irrational
Do you ever have one of those days where you just feel like nothing you do is right? I'm not necessarily talking about the days where you actually don't do anything right. I'm just talking about the ones that seem that way. Do you know what I'm talking about? Maybe it's just me. I hope … Continue reading Irrational
A Year Ago…
It was one year ago today that I announced on this blog that I would be leaving the world of school counseling to join my church staff on a full-time basis. I was super excited about the opportunity that had been presented to me. One year later, I'm no less excited about what I'm doing … Continue reading A Year Ago…
Hard Hat Convention
Driving home around lunchtime yesterday, I came across a sign letting me know that someone was doing some utility work up the road. It wasn't long before I saw where the work was taking place. Except, at first, I didn't see anyone doing any work. I just saw roughly 15 people in hard hats leaning … Continue reading Hard Hat Convention
I’ve Been Busy
I hate that excuse. Everyone's busy. And it's a horrible thing to say when someone asks how you're doing. "Busy..." How long has it been since I've written something on this blog that wasn't a Question of the Week, an AFI movie review, or a Buffy related post? No, really... I'm asking. It feels like … Continue reading I’ve Been Busy
The Lure of the Dark Side
I've been a PC. All my adult life. There was a time, in high school, when I flirted with the idea of using a Mac. But that was because all of the writing labs at school were equipped with Apple products. And that was before having anything with the Apple logo on it was the … Continue reading The Lure of the Dark Side
Old Tales from Old Navy: The Broken Door
What follows is a tale from a long ago time when I worked retail for a small business known as Old Navy. What you are about to read is mostly true-ish. There are a lot of stupid people out there. Maybe stupid is the wrong word. I should probably just say ignorant. Because the people … Continue reading Old Tales from Old Navy: The Broken Door
The Week in Florida
Kids, you won't read this until Thursday afternoon at the very earliest (because that's when I'm gonna schedule the post to go live). But I'm writing it on Wednesday night. As I type these words, I am three and a half days into a week-long training conference. I won't say what the training is for … Continue reading The Week in Florida
A Dater’s Guide to Disney Princesses: Tiana
Welcome back to a series of blog posts exploring the date-ability of Disney's princesses. This week we discuss Tiana, from The Princess and the Frog. Tiana is another of our princesses who married into her title. But that gives her more right to call herself a princess than someone like Mulan. I won't get into … Continue reading A Dater’s Guide to Disney Princesses: Tiana
New Tales from Old Navy: Again with the Bad Parenting
Just when I think for sure that I've met the most obnoxious child in existence, someone would bring their kid into my store and prove me wrong. I'm (sort of) exaggerating. Honestly, it's not so much the kids that I had an issue with. It was their parents. Unless you're new to this blog, you've … Continue reading New Tales from Old Navy: Again with the Bad Parenting
