Technically, I am about to be in a meeting. One of our planning meetings. But since it is the last thing I feel like doing today, I figured I would distract myself for the last couple minutes before people start filtering in by writing a very random post indeed. A meeting every day for threeContinue reading "Stalling Techniques. :P"
Just an Update
What a month it has been! And what a month it will continue to be. I have either had guests or been gone on business and personal trips for all but 4 days in the last month, and will be traveling every week for the next month as well. Don't get me wrong - IContinue reading "Just an Update"
Soul Happiness
This quote makes me smile. And the picture. Well, really, the quote and the picture together make me smile with happiness. And it makes me feel much less guilty for spending a majority of my time last night on my counted cross-stitching project, while watching Star Wars and Indiana Jones and completely ignoring the wreckContinue reading "Soul Happiness"
Living in the Past
Is it just me or does anyone else find themselves, during quiet times, thinking back over their lives, dwelling on the various times they made mistakes, said something stupid, did something stupid, or, worse, got in trouble for something? This is a particular weakness of mine. I will be minding my own business, and randomly,Continue reading "Living in the Past"
How to Kill an Introvert

Plus it comforts me to know that there are people who understand how I feel, like, ALL the time. But I ran into one that I found particularly hysterical today, though a large partContinue reading "How to Kill an Introvert"
Writing Humor
So, this "Winning Writers" site keeps emailing me about their humor poetry contest. And emphasizing the fact that it is free to enter, with $1,000 first prize. At first I dismissed it. I don't really do humor well - in person or in writing. The only person who truly finds me amusing is my husband - andContinue reading "Writing Humor"
Making the Most of My Time
Like a lot of Americans, I suspect, I have difficulties making the most of my time. It is just so easy to plop on the couch after work, think to myself, I've worked hard today earning a paycheck, I deserve to sit here and watch a movie or Dick Van Dyke, or otherwise do nothing productiveContinue reading "Making the Most of My Time"
The Thorn In My Side
"Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect inContinue reading "The Thorn In My Side"
Hidden Inside My Fears
I know I haven't written in here in forever - well, forever compared to how much I was posting the previous several months. And I finally admitted to myself why. I am afraid. Of you! Yes, all you readers! I am more of an introvert than I thought, it seems - even talking on blogs thatContinue reading "Hidden Inside My Fears"

This comic strip spoke to my heart:
