So, I was looking at comics about introverts - because - let's face it, there are some hysterical ones out there. 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:
A “Grown-up” moment
So, I know that I just turned 28. And I am supposed to be grown up and have it all figured out. Heck, if it was like the movies, I should currently be "the youngest CEO to ever run X company!". But, it isn't the movies. And life isn't really like that. Inside, I stillContinue reading "A “Grown-up” moment"
Insomnia
It has been a long time since I have written a blog post due to insomnia. As I am fond of saying, since I met Daniel, my bouts of sleeplessness have been less and less. Even though we did not sleep together until we were married, somehow just knowing him made me more comfortable andContinue reading "Insomnia"
January Ramblings
I hope you all have been having as lovely a month as I have. As I mentioned in my last post, my husband had a weekend away planned for us this past weekend. It was even more lovely than I anticipated. The Foxfield Inn in Charlottesville, VA was just adorable - I am fairly certainContinue reading "January Ramblings"
Birthdays!!
So yesterday was my birthday! Such a different birthday from last year! Last year was just miserable. Daniel and I both were sick, and Daniel didn't seem to understand that just because I said we should wait to celebrate my birthday until we were well didn't mean to ignore my birthday entirely, and I feltContinue reading "Birthdays!!"
