LJI 10:3 - Brushback Pitch
"You have to see this scrapbook that the MIL group and I made," burbles my mother. I've been going through the worst year of my life, but I'll take a few minutes to look at her scrapbook.
The MIL group is made up of Mom and a group of her other church friends with married children. The MIL, of course, stands for "mother in law", but because they're ( Read more... ) -
LJI 10:2 - that one friend
It was 2008.
Life had changed dramatically for me in the past several years. After figuring I would spend my whole life in Washington, I was in Arizona. After always swearing I would never live in sin , I was happily shacking up with my fiance. My ex-husband was out of prison now.

LJI S10:1 - the struggle reminds me I'm alive
I have a white board in the kitchen that I ordered off Amazon on the pretense to keep me on top of household chores. It's a nice white board. It came with markers with magnets attached to the back and tiny erasers on the lids, of course in a variety of colors. Blue, black, green, and red.

Never drive faster than your guardian angel can fly, says the visor clip my mother in law gave me for Christmas a few years ago. I'm so used to it at this point that I don't even think about it anymore. Somehow, the sun visor on my car got caught in the window and part of it bent. Later, annoyed at the bent part, I broke it off ( Read more... ) -
LCI #1 Crossing All The T’s
We have been petless since moving to our new place last June. It is excruciatingly lonely to come home to an empty house. Before we moved, there was the sound of barking, the enthusiastic sound of a tail beating against a wall or door, the face of a chocolate lab watching hopefully from the picture window in the front room.
