Turn left . . .

Turn left . . .

I am an intelligent woman. Really, I am. I graduated with honors from an impressive high school. I graduated from college with a double major in Elementary Education and English, and a minor in Music. I’m smart, I tell you. So could someone please explain to me why I am so dumb when it comes […]

I was wrong . . .

I was wrong . . .

Popular atheist blogger Leah Libresco rocked the atheist community last week when she announced she’d taken the plunge and converted to Christianity. She made the announcement Tuesday on her blog, six weeks after her decision. Libresco felt she needed some time to settle into her faith before she shared with the public. To avoid conflict […]

My Dad

My Dad

I have a great dad. During my growing up years, he did everything that good dads are supposed to do and then some. He provided for our family. He protected us. He teased me and tickled me and threw me high into the air and caught me. He pushed me on the swing, and carried […]

Quest

Quest

Lately I’ve developed the annoying habit of losing things, and it takes me a while to find them again. I think it might have something to do with old age, or being distracted, or being a scatterbrain in general, but whatever the reason, I don’t like it. Not one bit. But there’s one thing I’ve […]

Puppy School

Puppy School

We recently acquired a new member of the family. Despite my protests—we already had two dogs, after all—the big boy and the little boy showed up one day with the most beautiful chocolate lab puppy I’ve ever seen. Of course my heart melted. That was their plan. So now, I have a small horse living […]

Bustin’ a Move

Bustin' a Move

I am a well-rounded athlete. Except I’m round in all the wrong places, because I’m not very athletic. But in spite of the fact that I’m not good at most sports, there is one sport at which I’ve always excelled. Unfortunately, roller-skating hasn’t been a “cool” sport since the ‘80’s. Still, on the rare occasion […]

Crazy Dog Lady

Crazy Dog Lady

I once knew a cat lady. Very nice lady, and a dear friend, but my word. The woman was obsessed with cats. She lived in the country, and cats from miles around came to her house to be fed and pampered.  It was a little . . . uh . . . eccentric. Yeah, that’s […]

Deleting Helga

I recently volunteered to drive a carload of kids to the ice skating rink in Austin. Next time I do that, please tie me up and lock me in a closet. Please. I promise I’ll thank you for it later. Oh, it wasn’t the kids. They were wonderful. Brilliant. Helpful, even. No, it was the […]
