Yesterday, after my Alter Ego, Cranky Giraffe, posted about my son’s crazy little love letter to his newest idol, Lady Gaga, an old old blogging friend tweeted it, with an idea that maybe he could meet her! I know the likelihood of it being re-tweeted by anyone other than myself is pretty low… But who […]
“It’s been a long time since I came around Been a long time but I’m back in town And this time I’m not leaving without you” ~Stefani Germanotta (Lady Gaga) I know I haven’t been here blogging for quite a long time (almost a year and a half…), but there was something about blogging that […]
The airplane seat map shows that the emergency exit row seats are considered “less desirable.” It’s a little ironic since they come with extra leg room, even if they don’t recline (really, who needs to recline 2 inches when you have two extra feet of leg room?). I think the real reason they are less […]
This month I’m traveling around the country to check out fellowship positions. It is exhausting, trying, lonely, and often confusing. Most of all, I miss my kids. I spend a lot of time trying to figure out how fellowship and moving to one of these places would fit into the current, ideal, little life of […]

I had never really thought much about it until today. My husband sent me an interview by Dr. Robert Lustig, who just […]

I love those shoes – so cute!
I’m in my last month here in Frankfurt too. I feel bad because I’ve disliked life here for a long while but at the same time I’m finding it hard to come to terms with my routines disappearing and my friendship circles changing.

Thanks! I searched all over the place for those shoes last year… I just had to have them!

Just back home to the UK. *Hopefully* not London. Because I’d like to, you know, be able to afford to live…
