It’s super late here, and I have a beast of a weekend ahead of me, but I knew I’d forget this if I didn’t post it now.
Why is it such a part of human nature for us to always think that we are the exception to the rules? Why is it so easy for us [...]

Okay, I’m supposed to be cramming for and taking my final exam for my counseling theories class right now. My class is not over for two more weeks, but the comprehensive exam is due this week… and we all know how much free time Quest is leaving me these days. Go figure. Before I get [...]
Motivation and comfort.

Three unfailing motivators for my fitness level:
#1 – Competition
#2 – Runner’s World Magazine. I get a copy every month, and I’ve never been able to read it without making plans to run a marathon. Although that’s a goal that never actually comes to fruition, I can’t recall a single day when I’ve read the magazine and [...]
Quest.

Get more leaders and co-leaders. Put in check request for band and speaker. Book hotel rooms. How or why I ever got involved in a job that is primarily event planning is beyond me. But it happened, and I’m learning slowly but surely. We’re getting into crunch time for QUEST. Email facilities. Call Judy about [...]
Awkward Turtle.

It’s probably not a secret to you, but I feel like I discover the reality of this a little more every day. I am awkward.
I seem to have a special skill at bringing out the awkwardness in every situation. No, seriously. The worst part of it all is that I nearly always know when I’ve [...]
Too bad.

It has become a Sunday night tradition for me to watch Extreme Makeover Home Edition while I finish up any last-minute homework before the work week. I’m not one to cry often, and I would consider myself to be a bit tough-skinned, but I have cried at every episode I’ve seen in the past few [...]
Tiffanie Paige.

There are only two things in the whole world that I miss on a daily basis: living in Colorado and my best friend, Tiffanie.
Tiffanie and I are a funny pair. Despite the fact that we grew up in the same town, played basketball together, and had a ton of mutual friends, we never really spent [...]

**I’m prefacing this post by saying that when it comes to political conversation, I usually just have to “fake it to make it.” I have very little understanding of politics, but I have a great desire to be a responsible citizen, and I know that means becoming a more informed person and thinking wisely about the consequences of [...]
Ice, perfection, and rest.

Update from yesterday’s icy stairs incident: Mozart was so alarmed at my fall yesterday that I have had to carry him down the stairs all day today. He refuses to go down on his own. And, I have several softball-sized bruises. Unfortunately, I can’t show them to anyone, so there will be no bragging rights [...]
No one even saw it.

I feel compelled to confess the comedy of my evening.
I spent most of tonight curled up in front of the TV with a good book. My dog, however, was not in a snuggly mood, and he whined all night long to go outside. I must have taken him outside five times between 6pm and 7pm. [...]
