I am facing a little bit of an internal struggle these days. A new friend of mine is going through a difficult time right now.  Her husband told her that he wants to take a break.  She confided this in me and I want to be supportive for her.  I have been there to listen… Continue reading How to Be A Friend

Emotional Baggage

Frozen

December 1, 2013November 30, 2013 Crankygiraffe2 Comments

Do you ever wish you could just freeze a moment in time?  Maybe not to prevent time from moving, but just to preserve that moment and go back to it as many times as you want.  I imagine it would be like having a favorite song and playing it over and over again, whenever you… Continue reading Frozen

Two Women

There were two women at the park that day. I love them both, but in different ways. One was there with me and the other only saw me later. I think about one all the time, and the other, well I think about her too. One has made me who I am today and the… Continue reading Two Women

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 […]
