    Did’ja Know…?

    Tired. So very tired. I did make it out for a run today, and it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be. I ran 2km in about 25 minutes, and while it was windy, it felt good to be out. Though my legs just happen to be screaming about the forced exercise right now. *sigh* As I’m utterly exhausted and my brain just died, I thought I’d leave you with an old email I found today. I received this 7 years ago, and it still makes me laugh. I love weird facts like this. Enjoy! Did’ja know…. Dentists have recommended that a toothbrush be kept at least 6…

    March Madness*

    Sweet mother of pearl, I’ve done it! Two months of posting every. single. day. (Sick of me yet? ha). It’s been a marvelous journey and little bit of a comeback for me. I made a goal to post every day for a year two years ago, but I had failed miserably by February and gave up. Somehow, this time feels different. Tackling each month as I go seems so much more manageable… and every day that I post my drive to keep writing only increases. So, in case you were wondering–I’ve decided to keep going and give March a go!  It’s only another 31 days, and that’s not so long.…

    Gratitude*

    Life is busy. Hard. Stressful. There are days when there is so much to do that it doesn’t feel like there is time to even sit still for a moment from dawn until dusk. When there is so much to do that you go into auto-pilot mode–buzzing from task to task just to get things done and off your to-do list. But when your focus is solely on doing things for the sake of getting them done, you miss out on so, so much. Auto pilot busy-ness isn’t always a bad thing, but neither is taking the time to pause and enjoy the journey. Last week was an auto-pilot week…

    Best Friends*

    I had the most marvellous day. This week has been insane. I seriously felt like I was drowning beneath the million things I had to do, and as each day melted into the next I felt like it was impossible to keep up. When I finally left work on Friday and realized that I had two days that were just mine to do with as I please, it was absolutely exhilarating. The Hubster and I enjoyed a lovely date night of dinner & a movie last night as he introduced me to The Bodyguard–somehow I’ve lived all these years and have never seen it. I LOVED it. I haven’t been…

    I Cried at a Rob Zombie Concert*

    I’m about to tell you a story that I’ve only ever told two people. It’s a little bit embarrassing. (Okay, a lot bit embarrassing.) But because I love you dearly, I’ve decided it’s time to come clean and tell you the truth: I went to a Rob Zombie Concert… and I cried. I’m not talking tears of overwhelming joy at being able to see Rob Zombie—I’m no groupie—I’m talking full on panic attack, hysterical tears… at a Rob Zombie concert. Let’s start at the beginning, shall we? To begin with, it probably sounds strange that I, a shoe-loving, Mormon high school English teacher would even end up with Rob Zombie…
