An Adventurous Introvert

January 20, 2011 Angie 4 Comments

Personality tests are a lot of fun for me. Most of the time when I take them, I am mixed up and confused enough that no single dominant trait just screams to the world, “HEY, THIS DESCRIBES ANGIE PERFECTLY!!!!” Today was different. Maybe I’m getting really comfortable in my new skin. Today I took the …

Observations on Love and Romance

December 27, 2010 Angie 0 Comments

The past few weeks have given me ample opportunity to observe the world around me.  It’s provided quite an education, or in some cases a bit of re-education. It’s been fun to watch my kids, Christmas shoppers, extended family, my sweet man, good friends, movies, and more. However, I think the most intriguing observations have come …

What Would Jesus Say?

December 22, 2010 Angie 3 Comments

Most of us are familiar with the WWJD (what would Jesus do?) bracelets that burst on the scene a few years ago. They served a very useful purpose: To remind us to think about what Jesus’ reaction would be to a given situation. Were they effective? I don’t know. They certainly made someone a lot …

Funeral Etiquette Fail

October 20, 2010 Angie 3 Comments

I’m writing funeral thank you’s this morning. For the record, that’s one of my least favorite chores in any part of life. Funeral thank-you’s aren’t special. I’m pretty much inept at any type of written thank you. I mean, I can write a thank you that will knock your socks off, but odds are it …

A Gallery of Tush Admiration

September 27, 2010 Angie 2 Comments

Something dawned on me this morning. Something more than the usual sun coming up over the eastern horizon. Something that completely struck me as a bit odd. I follow the writings of several women bloggers. I like what they write. They are funny, informative, down-to-earth, and so much more. This morning I realized what exactly …

10 Things

September 25, 2010 Angie 0 Comments

1. Coffee without whipped cream out of the spray can just isn’t the same at 5:30 AM on a Saturday. 2. Cats aren’t the only mammals with 9 lives. Apparently some humans have that many, too, and save them for years 80-90. 3. Roller coasters are made of many different substances. In my case the …

Paranoia Part 2: The Principal's Office

September 22, 2010 Angie 0 Comments

For some reason, it doesn’t seem to matter how benign the circumstances, sitting down in the office of a school  principal gives me a bad case of gastrointestinal distress. Maybe that’s because most of my life, I’ve been a smidge shy of  being totally innocent. And maybe it has something to do with the fact …

10 Reasons I Miss Living in the Country

September 12, 2010 Angie 5 Comments

For all it’s downsides, growing up in the country had some strong advantages. Many of them I am only now beginning to fully appreciate… ….Mostly because it is now my children I’d like to isolate in the lonely barrenness that is the middle of nowhere. When I was growing up, it was sheer torture being …

I'll Have What He's Smokin'

September 1, 2010 Angie 7 Comments

My sweet husband coined a phrase a few years back when he met my …uh…. interesting is a good word…..OB/GYN for the first time. I was preggo with gorgeous model #2 and it was my first time to have a baby with a “big city” doc. My doc was simply amazing, but he had a …

Magnum PI DejaVue and a Jail Break at the Farm

July 23, 2010 Angie 7 Comments

We had a jail break yesterday. Apparently our horses, Buddy and Shorty, both lacking anything important resembling manhood (studhood?), were quite upset when their female pasture companion for the last month had to go back to her home way out in the country. I didn’t realize just how upset they were….. ….Until I returned from …
