A few months ago, my co-worker and I stopped at the nearby Speedway gas station for pop (soda, whatever) after picking up the office lunch. This is a store I go into three or four times a week to buy beverages, chips, and whatever else we may need that day. They know me by name, I […]
An Open Letter to Lee Brice
Dear Lee Brice, You don’t know me, but your song, “I Drive Your Truck” could have been written about me. Since college, I have always tried to hit the open road when I’m upset. I once drove all the way from Mt. Pleasant, Michigan to Chicago in my beat up Buick Regal with my best […]
“There is no friend as loyal as a book.”
~ Ernest Hemingway One of my favorite things about summer is that everyone from Jen Lancaster to Swathmore College publish reading lists. And what’s one of my favorite (sometimes only) pastimes? Reading. So without further ado, here is a list of books I recommend or am planning to read during my summer. “The Last Time […]
“The glamour of it all! New York! America!”
~ Charlie Chaplin Tomorrow evening, for the first time in about eight years, I’ll step onto an airplane. I’m a little anxious about this. Not because I have a fear of flying; I don’t. Rather, it’s the destination itself that’s making me anxious. After a few years of tossing the idea around, Jen and I […]

~ Robin Williams As many of you noticed, I took a rather long… siesta from blogging, and as I mentioned in last week’s post, I had some personal issues I’m dealing/struggling with. And we all have these issues, I know. Where you feel as if life is passing you by, or you’re going through the […]

“Have no fear of perfection — you’ll never reach it.”
~ Salvador Dali A few months ago, I swiped my friend Kristyn’s Facebook post from her KP Designs page: “PERFECTION IS BORING: True or False?” And ladies, y’all have some great opinions on this. My friend Ann whom if I remember this correctly is married to a Chef (at the very least, she brags constantly […]
To Mo, On Your 37th Birthday
Today is my 37th birthday. I'm sitting in my home office writing this, having taken the day off work. I had originally intended to go to the DIA today, but somewhere between my bout of self-pity and realizing I had less than $20 in my checking account I decided that may not be the best […]
“Perhaps they are not stars…
… but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy." ~ Eskimo proverb At book club last week, I learned about the recent death of a fellow classmate. I had no idea Kimball has a group on Facebook […]
