As you've all probably gathered, I've had less time to blog lately. That doesn't mean that I haven't been thinking of blogging. In fact, I think about blogging all time time. I plan out blog posts in my head throughout the day, but I never actually get time to sit down and write them. I… Continue reading 10 Posts in One

Vagina Girl

July 14, 2014October 26, 2014 Crankygiraffe8 Comments

Today I was called to the OR to be the "Vagina Girl." Sound exciting? Well, it's not the most glamorous job in the OR, but at least it's something to do. The "vagina girl," (AKA bottom end person) is responsible for putting a long instrument into the uterus from the vagina and move it around… Continue reading Vagina Girl

Christmas in July

July 1, 2014October 26, 2014 Crankygiraffe8 Comments

I have a present for every day in the month of July.  This will be the BEST July E.V.E.R! Not only do I have a gift for every day, but every gift comes with a card - a card filled with words from a very special friend. Four nights before I moved, I met with… Continue reading Christmas in July

A New City

June 21, 2014October 26, 2014 Crankygiraffe4 Comments

I haven't been here long enough to feel like I really live here.  It feels a little bit like a vacation - in a really nice hotel.  I've been so busy unpacking, buying and assembling furniture, and "dealing" with my mother-in-law to really appreciate or understand that this is where I LIVE now. The move… Continue reading A New City

My Confession

May 6, 2014October 26, 2014 Crankygiraffe8 Comments

I have lived here for just under 7 years.  Before moving here, I lived in my home town for my whole life.  I was not nearly as torn up about moving here as I am to move away.  For the first 4 years that I lived here, I hated it and I couldn't wait to… Continue reading My Confession

Blogger Friends Got Ideas!

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…

“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 Common Sense Problem

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 […]

Walking Tall

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 […]

Happiness, Please

Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure nor this thing nor that, but simply growth.  We are happy when we are growing. ~John Butler Yeats, 1909 Is there a difference between pleasure and happiness? I had never really thought much about it until today.  My husband sent me an interview by Dr. Robert Lustig, who just […]
