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…
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
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
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 [...]

A Dose of Positivity
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
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.

Egg Hunt
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
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.

SemperFi and ItalianMom
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
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
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 [...]
