Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life, and when it comes, hold your head high. Look it squarely in the eye, and say, 'I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me.' Then, repeat to yourself the most comforting words of all, 'This too will pass.'~Ann Landers After many weeks of (attempted) working… Continue reading Advice

Long Haul Adventure

August 14, 2019 Agatha Ann3 Comments

I have a good excuse for my short little blogging hiatus: My family and I have spent the last month moving across the country! We left our old home city on my birthday - July 20 - and took 5 days to drive over 3000 km across the country. We drove about 8 hours a… Continue reading Long Haul Adventure

Still Waiting

July 15, 2015 Crankygiraffe6 Comments

"Honey, you are way too stressed out about getting pregnant.  I thought this time we were just going to be relaxed and take it as it comes?" "Yeah, I know I said that, but before it was so quick and easy.  I'm really tying hard to not be so anxious about the things that are… Continue reading Still Waiting

Back to Everything

July 2, 2015 Crankygiraffe3 Comments

I am back at work.  I meant to blog earlier than now, but there hasn't been enough time in each day. For a month, I was of work, off exercise, off eating well, almost completely off blogging... anything else??? I had a great vacation in Orlando with the family.  There was so much that I… Continue reading Back to Everything

7th Week of Grateful

February 20, 2015 Crankygiraffe3 Comments

I am grateful to have gotten mostly over my cold and to have a few minutes to (finally) catch up on reading y'all's blogs. Writing will still have to wait a bit, I think. I love this list, but I totally agree on #2 especially, which serves you well as a mother, wife, friend (to… Continue reading 7th Week of Grateful

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 […]
