I actually have an entire weekend — nay, a LONG weekend — and NO editing? I’m shocked, I tell you, shocked! I realize it’s only been a month or so since I got back into the writing/editing swing of things, but since I was determined to meet my goal I was really pushing hard on …

The Inculpable Cardboard Box
My mom does a lot of shopping online so it’s inevitable that we have a lot of cardboard boxes lying around, the majority of which have the swoopy Amazon logo on the side. The delivery man leaves them in the designated spot and my dad brings them inside when he gets the mail. It’s a …
Snip Snip, Part Two
I didn’t intend for this to be a series, but there’s been more snipping in my life. First, I believe I spoke too soon when I said that Owen was recovering well from his surgery last Friday. Wednesday morning he had to go back to the vet to have a suture restitched and now… you …
The Fixer
I spent a lot of time this weekend fixing things. My wip, my closet, my dog… as well as a couple things that I’ll get into at another time. It’s nice being able to look around after a couple days and see the results of your efforts, don’t you agree? First, my wip. Despite the …
This is How I Celebrated the Fourth

The Perfect Cup of Coffee
I left most of my kitchen things in Mexico and while I was sad to see them go, I figured it wasn’t anything that couldn’t be replaced. Among the glasses and plates were a pair of coffee mugs bought years ago at the art fair here in west Michigan. They’re well worn and the handle …
Have You Seen My Mama?
*rustling and crashing* *sniffling and snuffling* HEEEELLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPP! I can’t find my mama anywhere! Do you know where she is? Is she ever coming back? I looked all over the place and I can’t find her. OOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWOOOOooooooooOOOOOOO!!!!
I’ll Never Learn
Saturday I brought Owen to the vet for his one-year rabies shot (that’s right, he’s got a big day coming up) and I asked the vet about obedience classes. He knows basic commands but he’s STILL super excited all the time and I’d like him to greet people without climbing all over them. (I know …
If It’s Not Nailed Down…
Our church is having “the world’s largest garage sale” this weekend and we’ve had piles accumulating for the past month or so. I went through all the clothes I’ve had in storage for the last three years and ended up with ten bag (TEN BAGS!) of clothes and shoes to donate. Ten bags! A lot …
