The title of this blog post was my shout earlier this weekend. I’ve been having a lot of “wow, I’m an idiot” moments lately, and I thought I would share them with you, dear reader. But I’m not stupid. I swear.
I was helping a friend make up her kid’s bed, and things were just not [...]
Okay, I’m stealing this idea from Ron. Mainly because I need to clean off my desk, and I think typing up all the crap that is currently littering it will inspire me:
TEN THINGS ON MY DESK
2 AP stylebooks
Glamour shots
Piggy bank
Copy of the 2008 State of the World’s Children
A blow-up microphone
Invitation to a baby shower that [...]
So, my friend’s been “encouraging” me to blog today, and I’m just kind of at a loss. Don’t know what to say. So, I decided I would share a quick story with you that happened to me this weekend.
As you know, I went to my friend’s race to cheer for her. As I was stumbling [...]
I try not to be one of those annoying English majors who comes across as a pompous…well, you know. I try really hard not to correct everyone’s grammar. But…
“Grammar is good and grammar is your friend.” Don’t fight the mandates of punctuation and spelling. Embrace them. Because when you don’t…well, this happens:
So use your dictionary, [...]
When I was at my childhood home a few weeks ago, I ran across some pictures. I will be posting some here and there over the next few weeks. But there was one set of pictures, that I had to post in all their glory. I have two words for you my friends.
Glamour Shots.
If you [...]
This weekend, I helped a friend move. And she declared we should have a “blog off” about the experience. I’m not really sure what that means. How do you judge who wins a blog off? But anyway, here’s the moving story, in haiku format. ‘Cause that’s how I roll.
Saquajawea
Led us on our U-Haul truck
We’re lost [...]
I’m writing a book. Okay, it’s the proverbial book that every writer is writing. But the other day my friend Krissy posted a blog about summer, and it prompted me to pull up one of the chapters of this autobiographical “book” and share it on here.
What’s your favorite summer memory?

I’m bored.
My summer break [...]
So, I’m stealing this from Mandy, because what a fun idea, to remember things you believed as a kid! I needed a light post today anyway
When I was a kid I believed…
-That every time you hiccuped you grew an inch. I don’t know why, but at some point in my childhood, my mom [...]
So, someone told me I posted this on here. But I can’t find it. And it’s a good story anyway. So if you’ve already heard it, deal with it. So there.
I thought this would be the perfect story. It goes with the gym kick I was on recently, and I’m also in the midst of [...]
After my last post, I felt the need to ease back in to my posts. I have lots of ideas floating around, lots of half-written posts hanging out, but I felt like posting something mindless today.
So, I’m starting a new series called “Remember that time?” These posts will be purely story-telling. Me reliving memories, mostly [...]
