This blog is quite random sometimes, and tonight it feels particularly so. It is very appropriately titled, so I think I shall just leave it at that. A few times recently I have found myself explaining my “hug policy”, so I thought I’d try and do that here – if for nothing more than it…
Personal
Seat Belts
I know this is silly, and probably has already been discussed too much, but the reason for this page was to share (and document?) my random and wandering thoughts. So… This weekend I was returning from a visit to the grocery store that is less than a mile from our house. I was in a…
My Day (or two) As A Mom
I think I have written here before that when Jen has babies, I take a week or, last time, two off to take care of the other kids while she can focus completely on the baby. And of course, I take care of her too. 🙂 So, I am no stranger to being the “Mom”…
In The New Year?
It’s nearing the end of another calendar year, and this is the time everyone thinks of “new year’s resolutions.” Perhaps I am no exception. They are not really “resolutions” necessarily, but here are some things I am hoping I will have/make more time for in the very near future. Read books, especially the gospels. Want…
Hey, You Never Know
This morning I awoke from a series of dreams that seemed mostly disconnected, except for the last two. The last two were definitely connected. Really, it was a dream where I awoke from a dream. That happened once before (even more crazy, though!) but in this dream, the two dreams were the same. In the…
Another Reason to Not Divorce
I’ve written here before how much divorce pains me. Well, apparently it pains the planet as well. Interesting…
Some Teams…
There are just some teams that I never like to see win. I know, I should root for a team instead of against the other one, but … that’s just the way it is. Tonight I am rooting for probably my second favorite team, the Cincinnati Bengals, but it’s not looking good for them. The…
33
Well, yes, today is my birthday, but it has already begun to be celebrated. My sister made me a cake while we were down there with them at my Mom & Dad’s… they sang and everything. I got presents from the extended family. Many have been wishing me a happy birthday, including calls/IMs from Dad…
What Color Am I?
I don’t know why these quick little quizzes are so fascinating to me, but they are… My pick was interestingly accurate. It said to choose the “most appealing” one… that could mean a lot of things, so I chose the one I noticed first. Here’s what it said about me. You love a free and…
A Lunch Meeting, And The Bills Won
We headed out the door at 12:45pm, knowing that Character’s Sports Bar was not too far from where we were staying. I had seen on the map where we needed to go, and was confident we could find it. That confidence was misplaced. When we got to where I thought we needed to turn, the…
