If you’ve read this blog long, you know I’m a random kind of person. In a given day, my thoughts drift from theology to baking to...

Let’s just say that I don’t have a lot of witty anecdotes to tell during small talk at gatherings with people I may or may not know that...

So today was the big day! NPT 8K day. Before: After: (And, yes, I did wear that shirt to make Mindy mad!) I finished the race, though the...

Usually, when I have a dream that I actually remember, it’s a good one. Once, I very vividly dreamed that I was an undercover cop and had...

Let’s just get this out there: I’m not a complete idiot. Sure, I have my moments, sometimes weeks and weeks of them strung together, but...

To borrow (and adapt) a lyric from the Gabe Dixon Band (seriously, give them a listen sometime!), I’ve got 72 “hours to go before I’m in...

Yep, you’ve guessed it. All things I’ve been told or overheard in the past few days and weeks. Interested? Read on. Suzanne: I’ve...

Ever since I’ve worked in this department (and for years and years previously) a truly hideous couch, coffee table, end tables (with ugly...
