It’s 8:30 on a Friday Night. Do You Know Where Your Jesus Freaks Are?

A sad tale of witnessing. My daughter has just parked the car. We found a great spot next to the cart return at the grocery store. I’ve taught my girls a series of lessons in grocery shopping, and parking location is one of them. We step out into the cold, damp Virginia night air asContinue reading “It’s 8:30 on a Friday Night.

We Did All the Things This Weekend

So many life changes. So little time! There was work on Friday. And then there was a rehearsal dinner. And then time with family. And a graduation early Saturday morning, followed by a funeral, and then a wedding. And Sunday began with a 4:45 AM alarm to run with my team.

No longer tucked safely into a pedestrian-friendly, small college campus, I’d have no choice but to obtain transportation to travel fromContinue reading “Why Buying a Car Sucks”

Life happens.

I’ve had limited time to blog this week. After a few weeks of reduced work hours due to Covid census caps and time off because my husband had surgery (it was minor and he’s fine!), I’m now back to working more normal hours. Even more normal than my new normal this year, since now IContinue reading “Life happens.”

What’s a little anxiety….

Do you ever feel like something ridiculous happens in your day that seems symbolic of your life right now? For example, on Sunday evening, as I was cooking dinner, I heard a loud pop. I immediately knew what had happened. I had just experienced my first kombucha bomb. What’s a kombucha bomb, you ask? Well,Continue reading “What’s a little anxiety….”
