So, part of what make me so happy to come to work is the fact I get paid to do something I actually love: to write. Though I work for a big healthcare organization, I also do some freelance writing on the side for SJ Magazine, a local magazine. I love writing for SJ, and [...]

Writer’s Workshop: The Spider that crashed my Honda
Posted in Writing Workshop on November 26, 2009 | 9 Comments »
This story was part of Mama Kat’s Writing Workshop. The prompt I chose? Tell a story in exactly 101 words… I was a happily 5-month pregnant emotional wreck on her way to work when from the corner of my eye, I saw it: A ghostly white, creepy, crawly, spindly spider atop my dashboard. Consumed with [...]

I know you wanna see Bea…I just updated our sister blog over at With Bea We’re Three. So, she is going to be 7 months old this week. Seven. And, I’ve got mixed feelings about it. Not like I have an option to stop her from aging, but I guess I am having a normal [...]

After we got married in 2007, I decided to do something I had only casually flirted with before: run. I’d done a few 5ks here and there, but I wanted a challenge. I wanted to have a goal and just go for it. I wanted to be a runner. I don’t have the body for [...]

I was thrilled when Mama Kat picked my prompt suggestion as one of this week’s Writing Workshop prompts! And, what was the prompt? 4.)Share a diary entry from when you were 13…feel free to make one up! (inspired via twitter by @EricaVoll from I’m Still Fabulous) That’s me! In fact, I am so excited about [...]

Hair anxiety
Posted in Hair on November 18, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I was over visiting the SITS girls, and came upon this website dedicated to hairstyles for toddlers and babies called Babes in Hairland. She is super-talented- look how creative this is! Oh. My. Gosh. Immediately, I thought… how cute! But then my excitement and curiosity turned to anxiety. I was never good with girl hair. [...]

I’m not sure how we got on the topic, but I was speaking with a co-worker about movies and she mentioned she had never seen something. It was one of those movies that EVERYONE (but her) has seen, and I could not comprehend how this woman could be 30 and not seen it. I began [...]

Today is Writer’s Workshop day over at Mama’s Losin’ it. Every week she hosts this workshop and offers prompts to inspire some creative writing.

Dinner almost killed us!

Dear Rival Crock-Pot, Alright, so the title of this letter might be a bit dramatic, but last night’s Rival crock-pot fiasco could have at least broken a tooth. And, for me and my obsession with teeth, that could have killed me. Let me back up. As new home-owners playing house 5 years ago, I bought [...]
