Getting Real
Ahh! There’s Nothing Like A Clean Shave!
Especially after going a week or more without shaving. I lost count in the move and I lost my razor! Let’s just say I was starting to feel like a real Italian woman! All I can say is it’s a good thing it’s winter or I might have had to move to Europe! My leg…
I’m Ready for Opening Night!
Three days until opening night of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Three days! Can you tell I’m so ready for this play to be over with? I think the novelty of this particular play wore a while ago, especially since my two oldest are playing the same parts as last year and this…
If I Had…One Month to Live 2
Yesterday I talked about what I would do if I had one month to live. Top of the list is not clean and probably abandon what little parenting skills I have. After all, I’d want my last moments on earth to be fun and stress free! I’d want to have everyone’s last memories of me…
If I Had…One Month to Live
Of course, the off the cuff answer would be to focus on my family and love them more. But then that makes me come face to face with the question “why is that one-month-to-live goal and not a life goal?” I think this challenge or questions is a complicated one and deserves more than…
Too Much Stuff!
Did you ever have too much stuff going on in your personal life, stuff that no one else really knows about except your immediate family? Stuff that messes with your thoughts and sleep and drags you down? I’ve got some stuff going on. While it isn’t life threatening, it is joy robbing and it’s dragging…
Meeting Kirk Cameron and Why You Should See Fireproof THIS Weekend!
I can’t remember if I posted about this already or not, but it’s worth reposting. In July I attending ICRS and had the privilege of attending a dinner with Kirk Cameron and the cast of Fireproof. I had Kenneth, my videographer with me, and we decided we’d lay low and hang in the back. So…
ACFW: What a Difference a Year Makes!
It’s amazing the difference a year can make in a writing career. Last year at this time I was counting down the days to conference, fretting over one sheets and pitches and which agents I’d be talking to. This year I haven’t had much time to think about the conference, though I’ve helped plan the…
House and Homeschooling Update
Seems like Thursdays is the designated day for my housecapades! Hey, I like that. Will have to use that again! Well, we had our first open house on Sunday. Hubby stressed and fussed and hurried to make the place shine. We put an ad in the paper for $75 and guess how many people/couples showed…
Lightening Strike to Heaven
The other morning I instructed my children (6 yr. and 8 yr.) to finish their copy work while I exercised on the elliptical. They asked if they could color when they were through. Sure, anything to help keep them busy while I got in my work out. Little did I know while I sweated…
