Nothing like a broken spirit

My dog literally could not wag his tail for about 20 of the last 24 hours.
And I don’t know if you know, but I’m kind of obsessed with my dog. I’d do anything for his cute face. So when something is not right in his world it pretty much turns into a nervous break down [...]

She’s here

My best friend had her very precious little girl this week.
Aubrie Kendall is her sweet little name. She was 7 lbs, 7 ounces and 20 inches long.
I went to meet her the day after she was born and oh my was she ever a little peanut. I mean, I know babies are little but I [...]

About that baby

My best friend is due to have her first child any time now.  And with that on the horizon, I thought it was only appropriate to write the baby a letter – since I don’t have children of my own to write blog letters to – since I just can’t wait to meet her.
Dear Baby [...]

Dads and Daughters

The thing about dads and daughters is they don’t always agree.
The long and the short of it is this: My dad married a woman just a handful of years older than me about a year ago and I obviously do not have an easy time with that. In fact, I’ve never breached the subject here. [...]

Let’s talk about my nasty face

Seriously you guys. Or shall I say gals?
I have acne. Full blown. Zits all over my face.
Even when I was a teenager, I never really went through a horribly broken out face stage. Obviously this is payback. And it is a mother effing bitch. (Excuse me).
I can seriously understand why acne gives people a complex. [...]

The new schtick

Just about everywhere we go someone asks how it’s going.
“How is the new job? Do you love it?”
And I find, this time around, it’s so much harder to just say yes, even though I do. I’m more cautious this time. I’m more guarded. I’m more reluctant to tell the whole world that I think this [...]

Back to good

As I reflect on the past couple months of my life, it’s weird to think about how quickly things just go back to normal.
We’re drinking coffee this morning from the couch, while Jeff plays video games and I catch up on blogs from my much-too-busy week. There is no way to stay on top of [...]

The last piece

I heard through the grape vine today the real reason I lost my last job.
And it’s not really all it’s cracked up to be – the information. I mean sure, I have my closure. I can fall asleep tonight knowing for sure that they didn’t tell me the truth, that they lied to me. But [...]

August 17

I hear her in my voice and see her when I look in the mirror.
She’s the first person who ever loved me, who ever yelled at me, who ever thought I was beautiful. She’s my biggest cheerleader, critic and one of my very best friends. She’s kind, sweet, sensitive and supportive.
August 17, 2009. It feels [...]

Official

So, I’ve finally started telling people, which I guess means I should just say it outloud – I start my new job on Monday!
Weeeeee! On Monday morning, I report to work. Meaning, I will get dressed, and put on make up, and pack a lunch and leave the house to do an actual job that [...]
