I looked down at my “return” post and was reminded that I said I had a good roach story. Here’s how it all went down ( Read more... )

I've never posted a link here before. For practice, here's a website I like: Not Martha. She's crafty, but not the kind of crafty that makes you feel drastically inadequate, and she received the same cookbook Chris and I did for Christmas. Snuck in another little link there for ya...hopefully I did it right ( Read more... )

Lindsay graciously offered to apply me for some jobs at Harcourt, where she works, and I just heard back from one of them today that they have "decided to pursue other candidates for this position." I think I'm okay with that, because the position was "Copyright/Permission Specialist with Accounting." I'm not quite sure what that job entails, but ( Read more... )

My sister Becky and I took my dad to the hospital yesterday for his 5-hour chemo visit, and at one point we left him to sleep while we went out for a snack. After filling our tummies with healthy goodness from Wendy's, we were back in the hospital waiting for the elevator, and Becky asked me for a piece of gum.

Please pray for Chris and his family, and especially for Grandpa Millward, who’s been caring for her for the past three years (she had Alzheimer’s), not to mention the lifetime they shared.

That will describe me in about 2 weeks (May 2). Before I start, I have to somehow ( Read more... )

Conversation between two students (soon-to-be my group project partners) on the first day of Shakespeare class at UCF:

Susan: God, I hate money. What’s that saying? Money is the root of evil...?
Eva: [dramatically] Money is the root of all evil.
Susan: Yeah. Who said that? That is so true.

I hate blows to my pride.

Ultimately, I know they're evidence of God loving me and disciplining me, but it's pretty horrible when they happen. But that's probably because of my pride.

Ok, these two adorable children just stopped by and visited me in my cubicle. Gregory and Karen. They’re Wycliffe MKs whose parents have been on assignment in Peru for the past 10 months, and now they’re hanging out around the office while their parents are in meetings. A hint of a Spanish accent lingers in their speech (they’re Puerto Rican and ( Read more... )
