Ugh.

      No Comments on Ugh.

I am well aware that it’s been over a month since I last posted.  It’s not for lake of trying.  I’ve just been annoyed with social media in general.  All the hate from BOTH sides of any of the current political debate is enough to may me want to spend the rest of my phone contract playing Candy Crush. So… Read more »

19 Kids and No Longer Counting

OR, Why this Christian isn’t sad the Duggars got cancelled and why you shouldn’t be either. I am simply astounded on the number of people who are upset by the cancellation of “19 Kids and Counting”.  I do not share this opinion and I’m going to explain why. Please note that all of this information about the Duggars and their… Read more »

We are Family

      No Comments on We are Family

The word “family” gets tossed around very casually these days.  How often have we heard someone referring to their “work family” or their “(insert name of hobby here) family”?  And what does that usually mean?  Just a group of people who you like and/ or spend a lot of time with.  Or, what we used to call “friends”.  To me,… Read more »

Why so serious?

      No Comments on Why so serious?

I bought myself a coloring book last week.  It’s full of beautiful drawings of cats in intricate surroundings.  My husband thought it was a gift for my niece who turns four today, but nope, it’s for me.  And I am loving it.   It’s just one example of me not taking myself too seriously.  It’s a skill that took time,… Read more »

The Dope Show

      No Comments on The Dope Show

As far as I can tell, one of two things is currently plaguing the GOP.  Either they have the most inept polling and PR agencies in the history of the universe, or they have polling and PR agencies that are actively out to destroy them.  These are the only explanations that make sense to me.   As I’ve stated many… Read more »

Things that make you say “meh”.

      1 Comment on Things that make you say “meh”.

One of the only good things I’ve found so far about getting older is that the number of things that really piss me off has gone down exponentially.  It takes a lot more to get me fired up now that it did 20 or even 5 years ago.  Along with the proper medication I like to think I’m mellowing with… Read more »

I’m Home

“Are you going home for (insert name of holiday here)?”  It’s a pretty common question asked of those of us who don’t currently live within a stone’s throw of the house they grew up in. What is “home”? Nine years ago my husband and I got married and I moved in with him.  We live in the house he grew… Read more »

Third Time’s the Charm?

      No Comments on Third Time’s the Charm?

Hello again long time viewers!   You may have noticed that once again I have “remodeled” my blog and yes, just like before this is my attempt to get back to this blogging thing more often. Two big things that have hindered my blogging frequency in the past: #1 Censoring myself.   Anyone who knows me in the real, non-digital… Read more »

What really matters

I’m in a rather somber mood today.  I’ve just come home from a visitation for a 27 year old woman who was killed in a car accident caused by icy roads.    Even though we live in a digital world, hundreds of people were waiting 2 hours plus to personally greet Amy’s family and offer their condolences.   So, let’s… Read more »

The one where I lose people Part Two

      No Comments on The one where I lose people Part Two

In previous posts I’ve spoken in defense of Christianity, Conservatives, and men in general.  I still believe everything I said in those posts- I still consider myself a Christian and a political moderate and I still love men. That being said, the following are facts that, in the year 2015, NO ONE, regardless of gender, religion, or political affiliation should… Read more »
