I mentioned on my dA blog that September is always super busy for me and that it seems to be a season of change, this year being no exception. September also seems to be my "Spring cleaning" month for reasons I don't even know. I don't know if I got Heather into the habit or she got me into the habit, but it's something we've always done since we ( Read more... )

Every so often I get it into my head that I am going to take Sundays and just stay away from the internet. Actually, it was more of a stay away from the computer thing than just the internet but internet was a big part of that. It's always been one of those "best intentions" types of things with me, though. Or something like I'd check all my stuff ( Read more... )

This past Saturday was a nice easy one for me. I didn't do a lot, didn't get a lot done and for the first time in awhile I didn't feel guilty about it. What I did do was watch a lot of Netflix and in the midst of it I stumbled upon a movie I'd had in my queue for awhile but never felt like watching. It's called "The Encounter" and it was really...

We all do dumb things. And yes, paying too much for car insurance could be one of them but that is not what I'm talking about. I mean the things we do that we know deep down are wrong, will hurt someone, will even hurt ourselves. Depending on our mental and spiritual maturity level we also get smacked in the face with what we've done and the need ( Read more... )

You guys, something is going on outside my window. It's weird and I don't know what to do. It's all bright and calm. There's this giant ball of...of light in the sky and I think it might be producing heat. I'm afraid. Am I in an M. Night Shamajhsfdkhsdf movie ( Read more... )

Sometimes when I make a new friend I tend to look back at things I write. I try to see me as they would see me just from what they can read here. Does anyone else do that? Am I the only weirdo out there? I mean in this area ( Read more... )

My list from yesterday defeated me. I didn't get as much done as I wanted to. Still, every little check mark is an accomplishment. Plus I needed to clean the kitchen because it was driving me nuts. Okay, anything more than a dish or two drives me nuts but that is not the point! The point is, I had adult responsibilities to be responsible for. ( Read more... )

For the past few days I've had that thought floating around my brain. Mostly this is because I have not been happy for the past few days. In fact, I've been downright miserable and slightly depressed. I feel like I'm breathing through a straw. Like one of those little red ones you get at a fair or hot dog stand or something. Not quite a coffee ( Read more... )

Every now and then I get invites to "world events" from one of my friends on Facebook. Some of them are silly, such as the Mean Girls quote status day coming up on Friday. Some are serious, such as the TWLOHA day that comes up every year. Others just kind of leave me scratching my head. The invite I found in my email yesterday turned out to be one ( Read more... )

Here's the thing. I have a lot of regrets. Anyone who's lived a couple of years has regrets. I have learned that they are there to teach us, not to torment us and make us moan and say, "I wish this had been different..." because what's the point? I believe Satan gets us to look back to try and bring us back to the places we stumble ( Read more... )
