today could be a long day. i tried for several minutes to turn the tv off with my car keys this morning...not a good sign. But crazy dreams kept me up most of the night, i'd tell them to you but then you'd think i'm weirder than you already think i am...let's just say being a superhero isn't all it's cracked up to be ( Read more... )

I cringe when i hear people say things like "this is the most wonderful time of the year" and "everybody loves Christmas" because the truth is that's just not the case for everyone. in fact, for some, it is the hardest part of the year. It's the time of year when the most independent of souls may suddenly realize that they are alone. it is when ( Read more... )

I had to pass one polling place (avondale library where the line was from the library door down to the pond) i pulled up to Avondale Elementary on my trusty buddy just in time to hear ( Read more... )

this morning both Luke and Neely ran in a age division races at JSU. both times i had talked to Luke earlier this week, he reminded me that he was in a marathon and how he was practicing. they were both pretty excited and confident that they would win. Neely went first, she was kind of skipping along, smiling and waving, still came in first in ( Read more... )

Today i had to attend a Pastoral Care conference for the local chapter of chaplains...(that sounds funny) anyway, it wasn't really what i expected. there were three speakers. i couldn't really hear the first speaker except for when he made a gynocological joke..fyi, men really shouldn't do that. ;) the last two speakers were sharing their stories ( Read more... )

today is neely's 5th birthday. I sent her super terrific birthday gifts by my super terrific parents (who came all the way from Rock Run this morning to help me clean up my yard). I wish you all knew Neely. she is funny and beautiful and never stops running unless she is sleeping. she cannot stay clean, but loves to dress up and put on makeup. ( Read more... )
