Eight years ago, today, I dun’ got myself hitched. And, well, I wrote this little diddy for my wife. I was going to do something like this for the 10th anniversary . . . but, 8 is a totally under-appreciated number. Happy Anniversary, boo. I have spent the last few months, trying to put to… Continue reading Where I say “happy anniversary” in the only way I know how
Where I reflect on the season
This is the time for egg-nog, for brief periods of complete & utter frustration (I’m speaking, specifically, of dealing with Christmas lights), for sweaters (and sweater muffins), for wondrous smells & more-wondrous movies. It’s the time where I question my faith . . . wishing I had more while wishing others could challenge theirs. It’s… Continue reading Where I reflect on the season
Where I am recruited
Today, I’m writing over at Katie’s place today, as a card-carrying member of the Sluiter Nation. I like to think that my lapel pin is in the mail. Please, read Where I talk about belonging.
Where I break it out, bullet-point style
I ran for the first time, in a long time, this morning. While I have been getting up to spin on the exercise bike, I haven’t been out running since the 3rd of December, and before that, Thanksgiving, and before that, the Harrisburg marathon. Getting started on a run is really, really difficult, particularly before… Continue reading Where I break it out, bullet-point style
Where I reveal my #mugswap partner
I remember reading about the Mug Swap last year . . . last year, I was still writing over at my old blogspot blog, knowing that I wanted to do more with it, but, really, having no idea what direction to take or what to do. However, I was very active on The Twitter, and… Continue reading Where I reveal my #mugswap partner
Where I talk about some upcoming changes
Things are going to be changing around here – pretty drastically, in the near future. You may have noticed some minor changes, if you’re a stalker you’ve been poking around — but, starting this weekend, I’m hoping to give the entire blog a facelift, with a new wordpress.org theme: Batzerized. If you happen to notice… Continue reading Where I talk about some upcoming changes
Where I relive my absolute favorite memory
First, we had MamaKat’s prompt – define your Seven Wonders of the World. I read MamaKat’s blog every now & then, but well, life has been especially crazy as of late, and I never got a chance to play along with her linkup. And, honestly, I’m not sure what all seven of mine would be… Continue reading Where I relive my absolute favorite memory
Where I Reveal my Holiday Playlist
We’re in the Christmas season. Every year, I compile a Christmas song list — just a set of songs that make me happy to listen to. The only real rule I make for myself is probably the most antiquated – everything needs to fit on a single CD – because, when I started this, I… Continue reading Where I Reveal my Holiday Playlist
Where I set out to win Gigi’s camera
It’s been far too long . . . the last couple of weeks have been rough. Work has been constant, with massive issue followed by massive issue. Of course, this isn’t overly out-of-the-ordinary for anybody’s workplace, but, well, we’re nearing the holidays and that means everybody is taking time off . . . and, somehow,… Continue reading Where I set out to win Gigi’s camera
Where I share my favorite black-bean burger recipe
I recently switched from “mostly vegetarian1” to not. However, I still eat a shitton of veggies . . . they’re, honestly, my favorite food. If I have a choice to snack on sliced bell pepper or chips? I’m actually going to choose the bell pepper. You may hate me for this. It’s ok. Sandwiches have… Continue reading Where I share my favorite black-bean burger recipe
