Why nerds* are unpopular . . . in school
Thank God for adulthood! If all of life were like middle school, our world would be the worst sort of dytopian nightmare imaginable. I just finished reading an overly-long article on why nerds are unpopular that just highlighted the difficulties my boys have had since going to public school. I know not every school is like this – my high school wasn’t. But too many … Continue reading Why nerds* are unpopular . . . in school

Very Demotivational
I have been reminded of this scene from Lord of the Rings frequently as of late, so I looked it up and I must admit, it cracked me up: AHAHAHAHAH! Way to rally the troops, Denethor! Thank heaven’s Gandalf (whose character represents wisdom, donchano) was there to knock the crap out of him! Panic is pretty much never a good thing, IMO. Continue reading Very Demotivational
Why Moms Like Wine So Much!
This article about decision fatigue gives a very interesting account of how we make decisions and why making a decision can be so mentally tiring. I’m glad to see it because the one thing that my kids do which is more likely to make me blow a gasket than anything else is ask questions from morning to night: “Can you make pancakes for breakfast?” “Can … Continue reading Why Moms Like Wine So Much!
The Laundry!
The other day I was scolding my girls for their habit of changing their clothes multiple times a day. The laundry! Sophia replied, “if we were real princesses, we could do it.” “You’re not that kind of princess, honey,” I explained, “if you were that kind of princess, a maid would be doing the wash. Instead, the queen has to do it and she is … Continue reading The Laundry!
A New Business Model?
A few years ago, I attended a Women of Faith conference with a woman from the church I attended at the time. It was so upsetting to me because during the drive to and from the event, I learned that this woman had serious mental health issues, had lost custody of her children to the state, had spent her early years being abused and struggled … Continue reading A New Business Model?
Judgement Day
On judgment day, there will be atheists who meet Love face-to-face and say, “That was you? Please forgive me, I didn’t recognize you when I saw you.” On judgment day, there will be believers who meet Love for the first time and say, “who are you? What do you want with me?” Knowing someone’s name, address and work isn’t the same as actually knowing the … Continue reading Judgement Day

I love quotes!
“I want you to fearlessly pursue your dreams and your destiny, conscious that you are not what you do, listening to your inner voice, refusing to let superficial things define you, asking yourself the hard questions about what you believe and what you will serve, fighting the fears in your own mind . . . ” Kelly Cutrone I love quotes.

Found Money
So a couple of weeks back, before my computer broke but after my internet got cut off, I was driving to the local Starbucks to get some work done. (It’s a shockingly great place to write, btw!) I was thinking that I really needed to redo the scans for my book because the ones I had weren’t a high enough resolution. However, money is tight … Continue reading Found Money
