I’m cheating this evening. This isn’t a real post with any real point. But if you hang on ’til the end, you’re in for a treat. I promise. *It was my turn to blog at the MBT Ponderers today! That is a real blog post with a real point! Check it out here. *I’m sick. Again. Oh, faithful immune system, why have you turned on me? Only good thing about …

Market Analysis (Um, and other…stuff)
I’ve never tried P90X. I’ve heard all kinds of good things about it from friends, coworkers, random acquaintances and spam emails. But I’ve never tried it myself. That’s because I live in mortal fear of push-ups. And because I think if I did try it, I might die. And I can’t die before I’ve had the chance to visit the …
I repent…
…of a poor hook. Not hook as in this: Although it’s true I can’t crochet worth a darn. Or this: Thought it’s also true I’ve never caught a fish. (But I’d like to try. Sitting out in a boat in the middle of a peaceful lake just sounds nice, you know.) Or even this: And, um, I have nothing sassy …
Here’s to a fearless new year!
Wow. 2010 rocked in so many ways. I thought about doing the whole “Top 10 in 2010” thing – ’cause I like lists like Scarlett O’Hara likes hoop skirts (well, in the beginning of the movie, anyway). But we’re already a week into the new year and my list might not be so meaningful to anyone else anyway. I will …
Merry Random Christmas and Happy Ollie-Day!
*I get to see Ollie-pie in two weeks. Two weeks! So, I’ve been thinking about ways I could make the next two weeks go faster. Ideas: a) Go to sleep every evening right after work and sleep through ’til morning, practically cutting my awake time in half. (Requires Nyquil.) b) Take a two-week vacation…because vacations always go way too fast. …

Ollie-lujah Part 2
Back in December 2009, Amy and Chip told our family they were going to have a baby. Who knew back then the long journey they’d have in front of them? As if the nine-month journey of pregnancy – swollen ankles, morning sickness, hormones, oh my – followed by years of diapers, temper tantrums, adolescent angst isn’t generally enough! If this …
Ollie-lujah. (Um, that’s not sacrilegious is it?)
One of a writer’s best rules? Show don’t tell. Which is exactly what I’m going to do tonight. Literally. Besides I cannot possibly write anything half as amazing as my adorable miracle of a nephew. So for your viewing pleasure – or maybe just because I can’t stop oohing and ahhing over precious little Ollie – here are a few photos from …
Wilt thou write-est good dialogue…eth?
I love it when we talk in King James when we pray. What I mean is, sometimes when praying we use words we never use otherwise. Out loud, that is. I’m convinced this is a verbal phenomenon. When we’re thanking God for our food in silence, I’m guessing we just straight-up thank him for the macaroni and cheese rather than …
