Be a bricklayer.

Jeff’s a drummer. He’s in a band with two friends that plays around locally. He has a gig tonight. Last night his shoulder was flaring up a bunch from his accident. It looks like he did injure it some, seems like a bad strain. Sometimes it feels fine, but...

Birth Story… finally!

Some parts were pulled from things I previously wrote about the birth, so if something looks familiar, that’s why. Anyway, here it is.

The Birth of Vera Jean

 

Gratitude.

I feel pretty grateful most of the time, I think. I have gratitude lists strewn about my house, literally (my dad makes these little gratitude notepads that I have a ton of). I feel relatively blessed in the life and love department most days, and yet I can’t seem...

Rain

I just saw a video on why it’s a good idea to eat bugs. Now I’m scouring the internet for more information… More to come on this, I’m sure!

So i was getting all crazy overwhelmed with life and all the stuff I consistently have...

The secret of the universe… maybe.

Today was my sleep-in day, and man did I need it. I slept until 10:30, and I haven’t done that in a long time. I always feel a little disgusting after I sleep in. I prefer not to do it often, but I think my body will thank me...

Already I have:

*spilled my kefir smoothie all over myself and the floor and counter and trash can and dog (although the dog didn’t mind one bit).
*accidentally whacked my poor...

HOT.

I won’t whine too much about the heat, but I feel it needs mentioning. I think it’s less the heat than it is the humidity. Hard. to. move. Although it hasn’t stopped me from doing anything. A couple of days ago, in 90 degree heat in the sun I...

Me time.

I’ve had a good couple of days. I finished a letter I’d long been wanting to write- and now I’ve just got to send it. It was one of those letters full of things that could possibly make you look like a complete fool, but I’ve come to realize...

Slinky

I seriously can’t understand why we still have the death penalty in this country. At least Michigan doesn’t have it- but I heard that they were recently rethinking their stance. I have never ever understood how that makes any sense as a consequence for murder or anything...
