No. More. Mr. Mean. Guy.

Remember yesterday when I said I didn’t want to sound preachy?  And I also mentioned a fear of exposing my faults?  Well let’s go ahead and get this one over with and move on…shall we? In the past two days I’ve heard a couple devastating stories that, at their most basic, were the results ofContinue reading “No. More. Mr. Mean. Guy.”

Bring. The. Magic.

As I sit to write this post I’m not feeling very magical.  I’m in a McDonalds while the girls are in gymnastics and I’m on hour 12 of a nasty headache.  Awesome.  I didn’t think “what if I felt well today” would make for interesting reading so I’m going a different direction despite my stupidContinue reading “Bring.

Little. Secret.”

Talking.”

What. If.

Last week as I was nursing a nasty holiday hangover and limping through my short work week I began thinking about 2012.  How could I possibly have a better year than that of 2011?  It’s not that 2011 was anything spectacular, but it followed a particularly horrendous 2009 and 2010, making it one of theContinue reading “What. If.”
