I smell something funny

I have been editing the school newspaper for years. This is my 5th year, actually. It’s hours of my time, involving PTA Presidents, Communications VP’s, printers, and deadlines. I get thanks from the President, usually, which is really great – it’s sincere.
Poe has been doing the Carline for two weeks. Poe gets hugs and free [...]

OK no, but seriously

I’ve been extremely delinquent in my blogging. Basically because things are at such a level of suckage that I can’t stand to write about it. So here’s a little update on everything. First, the good.
Joseph is doing great at his new school. He seems to like it. He’s very tired as it’s only the 2nd [...]

For the Nintendo Generation

Poe woke me up, yelling:
All right! All right! Up-up-down-down-left-right-left-right-B-A-Select-Start!
And then laid back down.
For the uninitiated, that’s the code to get ifinite men in Contra. This is what my adult husband dreams of.
Scarier: I knew what it was.

In the Midst

Today, my husband got up to go get more coffee. He stopped, turned around, and said, “You know… I can say something about you that I cannot say about anyone else on this earth. When I simply look at you, it makes me happy.” And then went and got his coffee.
In the midst of all [...]

Can you stop kicking me?

I must get this recorded for posterity. This morning, Poe and I were having our first coffee, and he was telling me about his dream. It was a long convoluted story, as most dreams are. How he ended it: “James Earl Jones was our neighbor; he was a guru spy.” How can I not note [...]

How I Met My Husband, Part VI

That night we talked. And talked. And talked some more. Probably until about 3am. And I felt magic.
The next night was a group night – a small group at the church that got together every Monday. I knew he’d be there. I waited to see if I would feel [...]

How I Met My Husband, Part IV

The next class was held in a different classroom. The set up was different. Instead of a room of desks facing forward to the teacher, it was smaller. Desks set in a U to face each other with the teacher at the front middle. It made a more intimate setting, one [...]

How I Met My Husband, Part III

I decided to take some Bible college classes through my church. All the classes I registered for, however, got canceled.
I’m sure it was just coincidence. *snort*
As a result, I ended up in another whole set of classes, but thought it would be fine. Not the content I was thinking I would learn, [...]

How I Met My Husband, Part II

Thanksgiving came around. One thing that the pastor liked to do was have anyone who wanted to say something they were thankful for stand up and say anything. Open Mic Night at the church, so to speak.
I was alone. I was always alone. I didn’t make many friends up north. [...]

How I Met My Husband Part I

Through a series of life choices and unfortunate circumstances, I ended up in northern California penniless and drug addicted. Through connections I made there, I became drug free, got a job, and had a roof over my head. Calvary Chapel was instrumental in all of that. This was in 1997.
I volunteered in [...]
