Vol. VI: In Which I Ponder the Existence of Overweight Crickets So what do you think: Would changing the name of this series to Weight-Off Wednesday inspire people to link up? 'Cause I'm not really feeling the link-up love right now. No offense to your own sweet self, of course. You're great. It's just...it's just...I'm weighing the merits … [Read more...]
3 Quick Takes
[Only three, 'cause that's all I got time for.] [Although I'm including a giveaway to make it worth your while.] - 1 - We're on our way to see the ice caves today! So much for that face of mine coming unthawed... - 2 - As we head into Lent next, I'm discerning my use of time online. Specifically, how--and should--I be blogging? Because … [Read more...]
Boxed In
This post is dedicated to everyone who's feeling boxed in by life: the fed-up, the lonely, the huddled, the cold. The temperature is {minus} ten degrees right now. I get the idea of being huddled and cold. I would like to go back to my "Voices" post today, in part because it was just so darn cheerful. ("Cheerful" in, like, the total buzz … [Read more...]
Sometimes
On the Need to Breathe, Reboot, Be Happy "Sometimes I get frustrated I just want everyone to go away Sometimes I roar like a lion cub That’s when Mama knows I need a little extra love" From the song "Sometimes" (by Frances England) I walked into the kitchen on Wednesday morning and sniffed the air. "Am I baking something?" I asked myself, and … [Read more...]
This, that and the Pumpkin Seeds
Wow! I went a whole week without sharing my thoughts! Didn't think I had it in me, did you? Well, what can I say, it's almost winter. I've been taking in autumn in great gobbling gulps. * * * * * Also, we're in the midst of some serious discernment over here.You know the expression "It's all good" ? Well, it's not all good at … [Read more...]
Weigh-In Wednesday
Weighing in with this proclamation: my weight hasn't budged. Not an ounce. Okay, so it has budged an ounce. It's gone one ounce up...and one ounce down. Three ounces up...two ounces down...ten ounces up... And so on. I recently left a comment over at Jenn's blog (on one of her wonderful Little House posts) saying, "Sometimes I want to throw in … [Read more...]
In Praise of Being Mrs. B.
This is me, Mrs. B., wishing you were here with me. Photo Credit: Kaylee R. We could share a cup of tea. Or better yet... A large coffee. Why? 'Cause today is my birthdee! Huh. Something about that last line just doesn't work. In any case, yes, today is my birthday. I am one year older than the last time I blogged … [Read more...]
Weigh-In Wednesday: The Well-Read Mom
Newsflash: I was invited to join a book club, and will now (apparently) be asked to read big chunky books like Jane Eyre and The Odyssey. I can't WAIT. The good news is, I love to read but don't always make time for it. Now I'll have a great excuse! The bad news is, my date with the treadmill may get pushed back a bit. The best news is, … [Read more...]
Weigh-In Wednesday
I did not--most certainly did NOT--meet my health and wellness goals this past week. Between the wedding in North Dakota and my need for crunchy/salty, chewy/sweet while driving and my five oldest children away at camp since Sunday [momma angst!] and the bag of honey mustard Snyder's pretzels mindlessly consumed last night... Well. The weight is … [Read more...]
Climb, Garden Monkey
How's that for a spiritual exhortation? I saw it on our fridge this morning--three big magnetic words assembled by my Angela. "Climb, Garden Monkey." And then, below that, the phrase "I run, I ride in wonder." And "boy talk not." And "Me want to swim." Anecdotal Angela. Brought to you completely FREE on Day Six of … [Read more...]
