Week End Beautiful

The weekend is here - after a long week of “the final push.” It’s not really a weekend, though, because I am already behind on my scheduled studying. The plan for this beautiful spring weekend? You guessed it! Studying! There are only 6 weeks left until the written portion of the exam and so much… Continue reading Week End Beautiful

So So So Relaxed

November 18, 2013November 18, 2013 Crankygiraffe1 Comment

OMG. Scandinavian Bath House. Ah-mazing. Those people sure know how to relax. In fact I'm convinced that their sole purpose in life is to relax. Sit in this hot pool, or this sauna, or this eucalyptus steam room and relax. And then after a quick cold plunge, sit on this ridiculously comfortable chair and relax… Continue reading So So So Relaxed

Reactive State of Mind

July 18, 2013July 18, 2013 Crankygiraffe3 Comments

When we are in a reactive state of mind, when an opportunity knocks. We are usually too overwhelmed or frustrated to see it. If we do see it, we're usually overly critical and negative It's been a while since I've referred back to my Don't Sweat the Small Stuff calendar.

Sick and Guilty

May 4, 2013May 4, 2013 Crankygiraffe1 Comment

Today I called in sick for my call shift. I never call in sick. I feel really guilty about it for a few reasons: I hate being that person who calls in sick, it is a 24 hour call shift, and it was supposed to be the last day of my rotation in this small… Continue reading Sick and Guilty

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 […]

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
