It's been one year, and the tears still well up in me. I never met him, but he was my best friend. He was everyones best friend. Guilty or not, he had amazing music, and an amazing spirit.

Michael, wherever you are, we love you! Thanks for what you gave us.

Blogging is like life, audiobooks, and kiddie-pool thoughts

How long has it been since my blog really made sense? I used to post daily, with regular features, and had some nice points from time to time. Blogging takes up a lot of time, in case you weren't aware. You have to plan your posts, write down your thoughts, organize the details, type it out, add pictures (because words are NEVER enough), proof-read, agonize over the look/tone/feel of the post. Once you finally publish it, you have to resist the urge to check 152 times a day to see how many views you have. Then you have views, but no comments. You find yourself thinking "Who is reading my blog in Russia? Why did 8 people read it and have no comment? Mom, did you check my blog from both phones, the tablet, the laptop, and call Cousin Pam so she could 'view' it too? You're not helping. ....check back tomorrow though". Blogging took up so much of my time, but I loved it. Then, I fell in love with something else. Someone else. Then I got back into running, anot...

Floods, faking it, and Fridays

Image
Are you as sick of the flooding as we are?? No? Alright! I'll talk about it more. Yesterday was dry most of the day, but Friday has brought more rain. Driving over the lake bridge was eerie. The water level last night was just shy of 6ft below the bridge. We are forecast to receive rain through Wednesday. Our dam was wide open yesterday, and still very close to the edge. Our own little Niagara. (photos courtesy of my ATSneighbor. Ok, I didn't ask for permission, but he had them on FB, and I'm mentioning it here. Please don't sue me, I'm poor.) __________________________________________________________________________ Ananias and Sapphira Oh, this story is so wicked scary. This couple thought they were just trying to protect themselves. They sold their property with plans to give the money to the mass following Peter, but they wanted to keep a little back for themselves. That doesn't seem so strange. A little selfish, but a safety net...

TWPICK Thursday, and Blue Apron dinner #2.

Image
It's so cold in my office! I'm drinking iced coffee, and that isn't helping. Congratulations on making it to Thursday everyone! I love this day. I get a lot done at work, I get to wear my favorite pants, and I get to really start thinking about my weekend. __________________________________________________________________________ Blue Apron #2: Crispy catfish and eggplant caponata I hope you all enjoyed my review of Blue Apron meal #1 yesterday. I wish I had gotten more pictures and done a better write-up, but I was in total anxiety/panic mode while cooking. You know how I have a serious fear of disappointing people...I was afraid I'd screw up the dinner. I'm a mess. You know that. Heart on sleeve. Foot in mouth. Tears on cheek. Smiles!!!! Last night we tried Crispy Catfish with eggplant caponata. ...and fried okra (not on the menu, but it always should be) The catfish sent by Blue Apron was impressive. They only send 2 filets, but it was definitely enou...
