BLOGGING AND BOUNDARIES (THE INTERNET IS A SCARY PLACE) | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM FEBRUARY 2011.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM FEBRUARY 2011. My blog has been a little quiet this week – not because I have nothing to say, but because I’ve been busy watching Charlie Sheen interviews working on articles for a few other sites. It’s been quite a week over at ShePosts. I usually don’t do as much writing there, because as editor if I’m doing too much writing, I get distracted from the big-picture stuff. But this week was just so jam-packed full of blogging . . .
MURPHY’S LAW AND 911 CALLS | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM FEBRUARY 2011.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM FEBRUARY 2011. I flew home from Arkansas last night – I had an incredible time at the Idea Camp. It was an amazing and comprehensive look at orphan care, and there were so many inspiring speakers, most of whom are running NGO’s that are doing amazing things to keep children from becoming orphaned in the first place, and then to serve the children who have been abandoned or who have lost their families. A sobering statistics: less than . . .
MY LITTLE BOUNTY HUNTERS | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM FEBRUARY 2011.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM FEBRUARY 2011. I am working at home today – trying to catch up on assignments before I leave for Idea Camp, and trying to suppress my inner whining as I sit inside on a holiday with gorgeous weather. Mark took the kids down to grandma and grandpa’s. Meanwhile, I keep getting mysterious emails from the online geocache forum with random clues. DId you look under the rock? Did you turn at the welcome plaque? It’s there, keep looking. And . . .
OPERATION “GET RID OF HALF OF OUR BELONGINGS” UNDERWAY | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM FEBRUARY 2011.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM FEBRUARY 2011. For the last couple months, I’ve been in a bit of a funk about our house. It seems like my level of contentment about our house ebbs and flows, and every so often I find myself feeling very claustrophobic and ready to move to a prairie in Idaho or something. As the kids are getting bigger, the house is feeling smaller . . . and it wasn’t exactly big to begin with. Our mid-century house is just over 1300 square feet, and . . .
DOES LOVE REQUIRE WORK? | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM FEBRUARY 2012.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM FEBRUARY 2012. My friend Tracey wrote an interesting post about love today (you can read her post about making love work here). It spurred some interesting discussion in the comment section, and one commenter theorized that if love feels like work, it’s probably not going to work. I think this is an interesting question : is it really “love’” if it feels like work? I will confess, I have some strong opinions on this one, but I think it . . .
IPHONE PHOTO DUMP, MID-JANUARY 2012 | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM JANUARY 2012.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM JANUARY 2012. One of the things I love about my kids is that they love to dress up. The girls spend most of their days at home in one costume or another. (And if not in a costume, Karis is usually in a diaper). Every day they find new and more creative ways to give me anxiety. Lately they’ve taken to using our headboard as a diving board. How we’ve never been to the ER is a question for the ages. New Year’s goal: go to the beach . . .
THE SLACKER MOM’S GUIDE TO HOMEMADE PHOTO CARDS FOR VALENTINE’S DAY | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM FEBRUARY 2012.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM FEBRUARY 2012. I’m not really a “handmade card” kind of mom. I think it’s lovely that other moms are, but at this stage in our family there is usually just not enough time in the day for me to indulge in my creative side . . . beyond staring at the things other people are doing on Pinterest. With Valentine’s Day approaching, though, I did decide to make some homemade cards, inspired in part by cards like this one. But, if . . .
INTERVIEW WITH TAYE DIGGS ABOUT HIS NEW BOOK “CHOCOLATE ME” | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM JANUARY 2012.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM JANUARY 2012. ast week, I was asked to take part in a phone interview with Taye Diggs about his new children’s book called Chocolate Me. Yes . . . that Taye Diggs. I responded (perhaps too quicky?) and let his people know that I was a fangirl and a Renthead, and that I was really, really, super-duper dorky excited, and despite me acting like an adolescent girl about it, they still let me interview him. Let me explain my feelings . . .
WAYS I DIDN’T SUCK IN 2011 (HOW ABOUT YOU?) | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM JANUARY 2012.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM JANUARY 2012. Yesterday I wrote a little yearly recap on 2011, and I almost didn’t publish it because I was so frustrated with myself at seeing my resolutions from the beginning of the year. Then I began mulling over the post I would write where I would scold, prod, and shame myself into change . . . really put those shortcomings out there so I would HAVE to get my act together. Publicly sharing goals is vulnerable for me. Publicly . . .
ON HATING NEW YEAR’S EVE | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM DECEMBER 2011.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM DECEMBER 2011. I hate New Year’s Eve. And love it . . . sort of. But mostly I hate it. It’s my birthday, which is actually part of the reason I hate it. New Year’s Eve is one of the worst days to have a birthday. First of all, typically half of my friends are still out of town visiting family for the holidays. Sure, I never had to go to school on my birthday. That was a bonus. But I also grew up having poorly-attended birthday parties . . .
