  • One Thought at a Time

    We all have our insecurities. For some it's their crooked smile, for others it's their weight, for me it's my speech. Sure, there are a lot of things about myself and my body that I would love to change but none bothers me more than my inability to speak. I know. You're sitting, staring at…

  • A Worthy Pain in the Ass

    A couple of weeks ago I was minding my own business when I got a notification on my phone that someone mentioned me on Facebook. Giddy at the thought of someone thinking of me, I hopped on my computer and brought up the message thread. It was between one of the instructor's from my gym…

  • Favorite Valentine Memory

    Many of you know I'm not big on Valentine's Day. I have my reasons and no I'm not sharing them with you. However, just because the holiday isn't my favorite (not even in the top 5, it even falls after Administrative Assistant Day) that doesn't mean that I don't have a favorite memory from the…

  • It's All Downhill From Here

    I don't know if you know this about me, but I like to be a little bit reckless sometimes. See, I was raised pretty sheltered. I'm the youngest of four children and the only girl. Now granted if you read my last post with random facts about me, you know that I can handle myself…

  • Crescent Moons, Soccer, Gypsies, and Me

    I love winning awards for being me, it's about the only time I win anything. When I received notifications from the lovely Lorca Damon and the awesome Gareth Young about passing the “Versatile Blogger Award” to me I got super excited. It took me back to last Spring when I received my first blogger award.…

  • 2011 Most Popular Post – BUY ME! READ ME! REVIEW ME!… Talk to me.

    Hey friends! For the first half of last year I ran a blog site with my good friend, Susi Nonnemacher. Sharing a blog with her made crossing the line from obscurity into a public platform to share thoughts and ideas a little less daunting. Thanks to WordPress and their “Year in Blogging” stats I learned…

  • F U 2012, I'm Not Changing!

    Well friends, it's that time of year again. It's time to say goodbye to 2011 and hello to 2012. Out with the old, in with the new. Goodbye. Sayonara. Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. Mama's got a new year coming and she needs to make room, because this is…

  • My Christmas Card to You!

    Happy holidays, everyone! Christmas is this weekend and I wanted to do something a little different for my blog. So, with the help of my family I put together this little 3 minute video to share with all my new friends! I've met a lot of inspiring and talented people this year who have picked…

  • 12 Blogs of Christmas: Favorite Holiday Movies

    I love Christmas. You should just know that before you get further into this post. If it's about Christmas, I am there… with bells on. When the 12 Blogs of Christmas idea popped up I just knew I had to be a part of it and showcasing the movies of the holiday was an obvious…

  • Challenge to Myself: An Unedited Scene

    During NaNo I noticed a lot of people posting snippets of their writing and thought, “Hey! I should do that!” But then again, I also thought, “Hey! I should probably be working on my NaNo novel instead of talking on Twitter, or watching TV, or doing the dishes, or breathing.” Needless to say I did…
