I started writing this post years ago and never quite put the finishing touches on it. I recently re-joined WW to get back on track after an indulgent holiday season. My sentiments about it are still the same as when I wrote this – so here’s my story! Also, a lil disclaimer before we get […]
Read More Weighing in on Weight WatchersOver the years I’ve gotten a lot of questions about my life in and out of Christadelphia. Here’s a compilation of questions and answers. I will probably edit and add more as time goes on. Feel free to ask more in the comments. Do you ever regret your decision to leave the Christadelphians? Nope! Not […]
Read More ex-christadelphian FAQThe Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron is one of those books I have heard about from just about every creative guru, from writers to painters to belly button lint weavers.

Read More John from CutcoLast week I gouged myself in the eye with the tip of an eye drop vial. You know the single-dose kind with the twist off top?

Read More The eyes have itHiii! Oh my, it’s been a dog’s age, hasn’t it? Where do I even begin? A lot has happened since I last wrote: my lil baby nephew is a big honkin’ toddler now, Dave and I bought a house and moved to the other side of the state, we said goodbye to our beloved Autumn-cat, […]
