I did that thing you’re not supposed to do. I let myself believe the lie that I was going to Target for one thing: a birthday gift. OK, two things if I’m being honest. I was buying a gift card and I could have gotten that at Walgreens, but I wanted to get the newContinue reading ““I only need one thing in Target,” and other lies I tell myself”

It feels like fall: Movie Edition
I love fall. I mean, of course I love the summer because I’m a Jeep owner who wishes she were a mermaid, and I love the winter because Christmas, and I love spring because back to Jeep owner, but I think fall is my solid favorite. Especially days like today. Here in my little cornerContinue reading “It feels like fall: Movie Edition”
Southern Weddings and Funerals
I’m listening to this audiobook by Sophie Hudson called “A Little Salty to Cut the Sweet” and it’s all about how she grew up in Mississippi, her experiences with her family, the spiritual things she learned along the way. But it’s so funny, and for me at least, so relatable. She talks about these southernContinue reading “Southern Weddings and Funerals”
Spaghetti Night
If you ever want to know how to torture a mom, all you really have to do is ask her one question: What’s for dinner? This has been the question to cause more arguments in my marriage than almost anything else. More than how much I spend on Kindle books every month, more than howContinue reading “Spaghetti Night”
Jesus can spell…..
Yesterday I was checking in with my sister, showing off the extensive personal protective equipment I’m now wearing at work (for which I am very thankful). Every day I go to work in a t-shirt with a funny saying on it and some jeans, then change into scrubs, put on the dedicated pair of shoesContinue reading “Jesus can spell…..”
Pandemic or not, wear your lipstick
Today I’m trying something new. It’s a guest post from my sister, who I am insanely proud of. Happy Saturday! There is just something about the right lip stick that makes a girl go “ahh”. It’s a science really, picking out the right color. For us pale girls it’s a little more difficult. You can’tContinue reading “Pandemic or not, wear your lipstick”
Can I just have my old problems back?
Does anyone else feel like we are waking up every day living the same day over and over again? Every day this week I have woken up with a sense of dread, with some fear hanging over my head It’s like the movie “Groundhog Day.” The alarm goes off, and here we go again. IContinue reading “Can I just have my old problems back?”
Stories
I am fascinated by stories. They can be in the form of a song, a book, or a movie. Maybe even a series if they suck me in enough— lately I don’t have much time for TV, so it has to be a pretty impressive series. Sometimes I’m fascinated by the words themselves. How someContinue reading “Stories”
If you need me, I’ll be at I.O.P….
I might look like I’m stuck here with you guys, but really, if you need me, I’m at IOP.
First We Drink the Coffee, then We Save the Lives
I have an unhealthy dependence on Starbucks. I know it’s expensive, I know it makes me a basic white girl. I don’t care. I am who I am. Every morning, I place a mobile order on the Starbucks app and gladly hand over my $5 for an iced cup of motivation. I don’t care ifContinue reading “First We Drink the Coffee, then We Save the Lives”
