How weird are you? Webster defines weird as “of fate or destiny, …strikingly odd…eccentric or unconventional in behavior.” I like to think of myself as unique, not weird. Ah, well, Tricia Goyer tagged me on a weirdness Meme (still not sure what that means!). So what are five ways I’m weird, I mean unique? 1) I know what a Runza …
How Shopping Savvy are You?
Saw an interesting article featured on Tricia Goyer’s Generation NeXt Parenting blog today. The article focuses on the results of a survey commissioned by Tierney Communication on the spending habits of JenX, the female portion of Generation X. Now that many of us are sliding into our 30s, we’re growing up in more ways than one. We’re learning to shop …
Things I love about my husband
OOPS! Eric pointed out this morning that he isn’t on my earlier list. Big, glaring OOPS. (Tricia, here’s an example for Generation NeXt Parenting!) I really thought he was there. Sigh. So here’s my top ten list of things I LOVE about Eric: He loves God whole-heartedly. He loves me 🙂 He loves football as much as I do. He …
One Night with the King
I just found out that the movie One Night with the King is out (click on the link to go to the trailer). I loved the book, Haddasah: One Night with the King, and posted a review of it on June 26th. So if you’re looking for a flick to see, you might check this one out. I know I …
Things I love
The ACFW online course this month is a mini-course in life coaching. What do we value and are we reinforcing that in the way we live. One of the exercises had me looking at what I do and matching it against what I love. So here’s a short list of the things I love: Connecting with old friends (Hi, Gideon). …
The Practice of Law
There are days I love being a practicing attorney. Yesterday was one of them. I spent the morning in a deposition with opposing counsel who have actually been pretty easy to work with. We have the larger portion of the case settled and will likely do the same with the rest of the case as well. After that concluded I …
A Night with Amy Tan
Sometimes I really don’t understand blogger. I had a perfectly lovely post written and ready to post, when POOF, it disappeared. I guess this is why I’m supposed to draft the posts in another program. SIGH! Anyway, tonight Eric and I took advantage of the fact we live in a city with a major Big 10 University (I’ll give you …

Wishing on Dandelions
Today I started reading Wishing on Dandelions, the latest fiction release by Mary DeMuth. At the ACFW conference I had the honor and privilege of learning under her during the continuing sessions. After a year of reading her posts to the ACFW list and on her blogs, her heart was as transparent in living color. Wishing on Dandelions picks up …
Lobbying the Family?
When I say lobbying the family, most of us think of asking the hubby for extra money for that killer dress at Ann Taylor. Or asking the wife for permission to get that really awesome gadget that will make your life complete. In Washington, D.C., it can mean something very different. This USAToday article highlights the reality that family members …
