Rose Colored Glasses

June 10, 2009

This song, Rose Colored Glasses, is one I remember from early childhood. It’s by John Conlee.
“These rose colored glasses that I’m looking through
show only the beauty and hide all the truth.”
I got my little heart broken today. Or yesterday, maybe both.
I guess I have one question to ask. Just one.
I won’t judge you if you [...]

It Serves me right…

May 7, 2009

I was gone for so long, and it serves me right that nobody’s commented on the last post. Even though it’s the best song in FOREVER.
So I was just chatting with my young blog-friend and I told her I was hiding out from blogging right now because I am in a holding pattern in my [...]

Hard Time Dealing

October 11, 2008

I’m having a hard time dealing with our move from the home we’ve lived in for 14 of the 15 1/2 years of our marriage. We took this place from a crappy little rental to a pretty nice little home. We added on, we did renovations and rehab. We’re far from finished, but it’s our [...]

Underestimated Ire

July 25, 2008

I believe my darling Rob underestimates how flat-out livid I am that the shower drain is leaking still, because nobody’s come to fix it, because nobody’s followed through on making calls, because because because I could list another 10 reasons.
And because of that, there are now no showers in this house until it’s fixed.
I believe [...]

Rainy Mother’s Day

I’m having a crappy day.

A Dose of Positivity

May 5, 2008

I used to be a hopeless, negative wretch. I saw it in my own face on our 15-year-old wedding video. Even though I looked sooooo pretty, I didn’t have HOPE. Come see what it’s all about, along with a cool pic of Rob and me.

Loved Through It

May 4, 2008

My friend’s text message read, “I’m glad you loved through it!” That’s exactly what happened. I loved through it. Even if I thought it was going to kill me, I loved through it.

Failure

April 23, 2008

I got ticked off at work today, and I’m analyzing it to death. Right to death.

Women’s Safety Tips for Conferences. My twin had a rough weekend because of a stupid jerk at her conference.

Egg Hunt

March 16, 2008

Egg Hunt
We had an Egg Hunt before church this morning. It’s so ill-prepared I just want to scream. I have had some disagreements in the past with the woman who was running the whole show, and came out of my Adult Sunday School class to see if I could help her. The whole thing was [...]

Every Trainwreck

January 23, 2008

Possible subtitles for this post include:

Maturity. What to do when you get it and your former friend doesn’t.

Don’t get caught up in every emotional trainwreck that comes your way.

Effects of “Life before Christ” trying to bite me in the butt… but guess what! My Guy wins every time!

Thank GOD I am not like that anymore.

**throwing [...]

SemperFi and ItalianMom

January 1, 2008

These are our friends. Rob went to HS with SemperFi and I went to school with ItalianMom. They have been married since ItalianMom and I graduated HS. This afternoon was son #2’s 14th birthday party.
Yeah, so lunch was supposed to be at 2, so we got there about 5 minutes late because of the huge [...]

Jack the Quack

December 8, 2007

Jack the Quack
When I was a kid, we’d go to a Chiropractor whose first name was Jack. My dad always called him “Jack the Quack,” even though we all went to him for treatments and agreed that he was an adequate chiropractor.
See, our family isn’t of the idea that Chiropractic will cure every ill, but that [...]

Take My Hand

November 29, 2007

I just downloaded this song by the Kry. (feel free to start the video while you read the rest of the entry)
I have been feeling so unsure lately. I haven’t been reading blogs and I haven’t been posting. I’m trying to get to everyone’s blog, but just not making it so well. 
We had out of [...]
