Being up super early is a double edged sword. On the one…edge…I’m up and can’t go back to sleep so I might as well get the day’s work out of the way. The other edge/side/whatever is I’ve been up [off and on] since 2am and I’m tired. I’m really, really tired. I’m tired enough that… Continue reading I’m Awake…That’s About It

I Want a Nightlight Because Monsters are Real
My mom has always said I have a very active imagination. I have always said my brain just doesn’t know when it’s in its best interest to shut down. Because of my active imagination or my brain’s lack of self-preservation, I don’t enjoy dark spaces. Or mirrors in the dark. But I’ve already told you about… Continue reading I Want a Nightlight Because Monsters are Real
May Your Day Be Boring
The first of the month for me is always the time when I coast; the end of the month is when I go insane since I’m a habitual procrastinator. While the rush to the deadline sucks, the day after and the relief of having it done is usually more than enough payoff. Today the goal… Continue reading May Your Day Be Boring
Here’s To Hoping They Laugh with Me
Tonight brings another night of YouTube videos but tonight includes some of my own instead of just the Vlog Brothers. Also, in case you heard about the tornado in Huntsville, we’re fine [obviously] but I DID catch a rockin picture of the precursor to that tornado. Check this out: Part of my job over at… Continue reading Here’s To Hoping They Laugh with Me
Procrastination Leads to Productive Day
This is the post I write because I don’t want to write for work. This is the post I write because I am procrastinating. This is the post I write because even though I know I’m procrastinating, I’m embracing that part of me, as I often do. So, needless to say [though I will] this… Continue reading Procrastination Leads to Productive Day
She Might Be Biased
This was a weekend for firsts for me. First time someone called me ma’am – AND MEANT IT – the first time my mom came to visit for an entire weekend and we didn’t fight and actually had a great time, the first time someone read something of mine and understood the characters. So. Let’s… Continue reading She Might Be Biased
One Step Forward, Two Steps Back
It has been a very busy couple of days. On a whim, I made an appointment with a new psychologist and had my first appointment last night. I’m not sure what my first impression of him is. Of course, before I made the appointment, I did some research on the guy and he’s ex-Army, has… Continue reading One Step Forward, Two Steps Back
What If?
Since I took the easy way out by posting the pictures of the kids, I figured today I would write a rather uninspired but timely post about Tucker leaving for Drill today and the niggling [possibly] irrational fear I’m feeling since it’s been snowing. And since my heart and head wasn’t really in it, I… Continue reading What If?
Acting Like They Like Each Other
I guess this is supposed to be a “wordless” Wednesday but you know how good I am at doing anything wordless…I suck at it. So, here are pictures that were taken over the Christmas holiday. Most were taken on Christmas Day and most were taken by my in-laws. Pretty much all of them slay me.… Continue reading Acting Like They Like Each Other
Happy, Happy Birthday
28 years ago today, my mom walked into the men’s bathroom at the hospital because she was so nervous about my birth and the possibility of my adoption falling through. And now, 28 years later, she’s still wondering what she got herself into. So, happy birthday to me and thanks for all the birthday wishes… Continue reading Happy, Happy Birthday
My Favorite Posts on Taste Like Crazy from 2009
Since I don’t feel like thinking about monumental moments of 2009 or the decade for that matter, I’ve decided to go through the posts of the past year and list my favorites. The list starts with my favorite of this month and goes down to January. Some months were better than others and picking a… Continue reading My Favorite Posts on Taste Like Crazy from 2009
Sleep Deprivation is Torture, People!
The problem with going on any sort of overnight trip is it completely screws up the kids’ sleep schedules. We’ve been home for four nights now and Cara and Ollie are still out of sorts. When we stayed at Tucker’s parents’ house, Cara slept with Tucker’s parents and Ollie slept in our bed so that… Continue reading Sleep Deprivation is Torture, People!
