Today I am thankful for new experiences. I had the unique opportunity to be disappointed that there were no crickets in the store I was shopping at. Normally, a lack of bugs and critters in a shopping experience is a good thing, but when one is shopping for a frog a lack of crickets actually [...]

Today I made a superhero for medical terminology class. We’re supposed to make up twelve medical terms, using real medical term parts, and draw a cartoon character who has all of those conditions.
So I drew up Epiguy who has exacidoptysis (spitting out acid) and anamyomegaly (excessive enlargement of the muscles) and other like conditions. After [...]

I would have liked this to have been more pulled together, but if I don’t get it up here I will lose track of it forever. That would be a horrible waste of a good idea so I’m just going to post what I have so far. It is in no particular order.
I have three [...]

I’ve been listening to lies this week. I listened even though I knew they were lies. And then I kept being surprised when I felt upset about it.
So, Tuesday I went out shopping. It’s my official errand day where I run around like a crazy person doing grocery shopping for myself and some for Crystal. [...]

Yesterday was a crazy day. Due to circumstances beyond our control, which partly just means it didn’t get realized until too late, Go Play Peoria and the Reformation Day Faire were on the same day. So naturally we proceeded to devolop a complicated plan involving two major events, two vehicles, and nine [...]

If you take the definition of humility as looking at yourself honestly (neither more highly or lowly than you ought to), this post is not nearly as arrogant as it might sound. I just thought I’d clear that up at the beginning.
I realized today that I am an intelligent person. Hey, stop laughing. Yes, you, [...]

The road of self-discovery I’ve been trekking on lately has run through some pretty odd places. Some people go to Europe or China to find themselves. I think that’s silly because I’ve always known where I am I just didn’t understand what that had to do with anything. So I don’t bother going off someplace [...]

Being an collection of odd likes, dislikes, interests and hobbies can be a bit peculiar sometimes. A thought from this part of my head will break loose from its moorings and drift off into that part of my head where it collides with something from over there and sparks a brand new thought process.

Yesterday being our weekly library day I found myself at the library (weird, I know). In the midst of trying to find something for Samuel that took far too long to find and then ended up being not what he’d wanted I stumbled on a book called Dr. Suess Goes to War. It is a [...]

The other day I had a realization that was so profound it might be worthy of the short list of pivotal moments of my life. And while, as is usual for my life, it was a very ordinary moment it was nonetheless profound.
I was thinking about being married. (Excursus: Whenever I contemplate a life apart [...]
