crap, it bites!!
I managed to abstain from the crazy - I watched the madness with unbiased eyes.  I was proud of myself for not becoming a pop-culture drone for one blasted time in my life. And then a certain sexy husband bought me this for Christmas: NO, I did not ask for it.  He just knew, given my Harry Potter mania, that it was probably up my alley.  I was able to hold out for a day - I said , “Huh,...

Scroll down to read this 3 part Christmas tear-jerker.  I say tear-jerker because I was laughing so hard I cried while my mom had the same look on her face that she had after watching Nacho Libre last week. :)

I don't want to go into it
I really don’t.  I’ll just give the highlights… well, they are more like LOWlights.  Not my greatest hour. Pregnant woman and her mom drive down to the south side of Atlanta to pick up world’s awesomest younger brother.  On the way home, pregnant woman decided if she does not eat a Krystal burger (these insanely addictive, disgusting White Castle knock-offs but with a...

The process of knowing
8am on a Saturday… all was quiet in the house… and then my brain woke me up. hrumphthhh.  I don’t feel so good.  What the heck is that?  Heartburn??  Man, the last time I had heartburn was… OH.  MY.  CRAP. Are there any pregnancy tests in the bathroom????  Just one left, alright… okeeeee, so the instructions say one horizontal line means no, but a horizontal PLUS a...

good things can come in tall packages
 I am tall. Not scary tall, but I can reach stuff on the top shelf and see over people’s heads at the movies. It’s a good thing. A few years ago when I was dating I had a few boyfriends who were baaarely taller than me actually request I wear flats. They didn’t want to look short. Even though they were. Gah, I felt so bad about my body and it contributed to my crazy weight loss...

tender mercies
Today marks one year since Megan’s passing.  One thing that routinely hits me is something Elder Benar spoke of a few conferences ago - the Lord’s tender mercies.  The little blessings Heavenly Father gives us while we’re struggling through the big stuff.  We lost a wife, a sister, a mother, a friend, and along the way, we’ve gained friends and family and seen service and...

Question
Why is it that people feel comfortable telling me that I look “too skinny” and “sick”? And then it seems rude for me to say back to them that their thighs look like they’ll need their own zip code soon?  They’re fat so their bodies are off limits but I’m skinny, so they can criticize it with impunity? FYI: I eat, and I’m super healthy. I...
