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 [...]
(So, it’s my new goal to title all of my posts with cheesy song lyrics)
Did I tell you I’m training for a 10-K?
Oh, I didn’t?
I’ll wait for you to finish laughing.
All done? Good!
So, yes, I’m training for a 10-K. Which, I discovered after looking it up is 6.21 miles. Which is about 6.2 miles farther [...]
Dear Boston,
Can we be BFF? On my recent trip to your fair city, you made me so happy. Your subway system was delightful. Your people were nice to me when I stood on a busy street corner looking at an upside down map. You regaled me with your history, your beauty and your character.
But Boston, [...]
I feel like the most random things happen to me. I think I would make a pretty good reality show. Or a sitcom. Except, I’m kind of boring. Except when I’m being an idiot.
An example, you ask? Why, of course.
I just bought a KitchenAid mixer. Which was easily the highlight of the month. Which tells [...]
Wanna hear about a pet peeve of mine? Of course you do. That’s why you’re reading my blog.
Cell phones. They’re a mixed blessing. A double-edged sword if you will.
On the one hand, cell phones are convenient. I can call people from anywhere. From a crowded airport. A stranded car on a snowy street. The comfort [...]
So, last week I got to pinch hit for a friend who had a family emergency. I came over to watch her kids, which involved taking her older daughter to the pediatrician. Do you know how long it’s been since I’ve set foot in a pediatrician’s office? at least 15 years. It was funny, because [...]
If you go out looking like you just crawled out from underneath a rock, you will run into no less than five people you know.
If you smash your finger, and maybe say a naughty word, someone will walk by just as you’re saying it. Someone who works at the same ministry you work at. [...]
A conversation I actually had with one of my kids in Sunday school:
Kid: Miss Brandy, do we have any more fruit snacks?
Me: No, sorry, we’re all out.
Kid: But Miss Brandy, what’s that in your hand?
Me: Nothing.
Kid: What did you just put in your mouth?
Me: Go write your Bible verse.
I’m shameless.
So, I feel like I always get tagged on these “tell us weird things about yourself” blogs. I’ve done it before. I’m even weird at the holidays. But lucky for you, fair readers, I have plenty of quirks to go around.
1. For six months in first grade, my name was Nicole. I had a [...]
I’m like one step from being a hypochondriac. Here’s the difference. I will get sick. Or have some kind of physical ailment. That condition is real. But I always think worst case scenario.
Here’s an example. When I was a senior in college, I had these knots on my shin on my right leg. They were [...]
