Last week, I had this strange dream that my friend Brandy and I (along with Mindy) went to another friend’s wedding. The major focus of...

So in honor of my friend Brandy, who has recently begun a drive to devote her blog posts on certain days to certain topics (i.e. Man Day...

In the interest of full disclosure and a completely, overwhelming wonder that this is the minutia of my life, I give you a conversation I...

A few weeks ago, I decided something had to change in my life. I was in danger of becoming one of those people who lives, breathes, eats,...

AI is now blog-worthy. And, oh, I’m in trouble because Ryan’s “This is American Idol” wasn’t all that annoying. Nope, I was wrong. Stupid...

So maybe you’re a bit confused by the appearance of “Dispatches” on a Tuesday. I mean, it is generally posted on Wednesdays, right? Well,...

Last night, my church decided to have a dodgeball tournament. Yes, a dodgeball tournament. It was open to all ages and offered as a...

I love SweetTarts, especially the heart-shaped ones that come out at Valentine’s Day. I. Love. Them. Way more than the average person....

Two years ago, I would have told you no. Back then, I’d dubbed Valentine’s Day “Single Awareness Day” and pretty much wanted to throw...

As I was driving to work and listening to a news update on my favorite radio station (which is now on TWITTER!), I was struck by the...

It’s game day, folks. Oh, and welcome to ESPN’s Rivalry Week. That’s right, boys and girls. My beloved alma mater takes on Kansas...

It’s been a CRAZY weekend, boys and girls. CRAZY, I tell you. There was game night, rehearsals, an ill-fated shopping trip, having to say...

Today really started out well. I mean, come on, it’s Friday. A weekend is in sight, even if I have to be a rehearsal on Saturday morning...

<insert evil, maniacal laughter here> Ah ha! You thought that you had avoided “Dispatches” this week! But you have not! On this Thursday...

Um, no, apparently it isn’t. Because if my call was considered so important, you wouldn’t have kept me on hold for 45 minutes and you...

I am a generally friendly person. I smile at people when I meet them in the hallways at work, say hi when some random coworker is getting...

Despite waking up in Tulsa before the sun was even up, Friday turned out to be a pretty good all-around day. After I locating my car at...

I’m really not a patient person. Not at all. I kind of hate lines. I get really frustrated in traffic. I get frustrated by people who...
