  • The prodigals have returned

    Heidi-ho, family. the girls and I are back from Indiana. We came back a couple of days early because we ran out of money (and Richmond, IA is not exactly a hip happening town). NO, really we ran out of money and Indiana appears to be the type of place where you need either money…

  • DNA Study Finds Chihuahuas Aren’t Dogs

    Eric, my older brother, sent this link to me. Does my heart good. What we all knew, intuitively, to be true, is now backed up by science! ::snicker:: Read about the study at this Watley Review page.

  • a decadent pleasure

    So I just saw the new Harry Potter movie on the IMAX screen. It was very cool. But, tickets . . .12 bucks, my friend. Sheesh!

  • Too shy, shy. . .

    ok, guys, I suck. I just bombed an eighties music quiz, mostly because I can’t spell. Now, I really think I need a good eighties mix CD (NOEL) and I’ll test again this fall!

  • knock, knock, anybody home?

    Today I decided that a real grown-up has friends who are going through some of the same things and who a real grown-up can talk to and draw strength from. I also decided that I don’t feel like a real grown-up for just that reason. Somewhere along the way I let go of telling the…

  • I wonder as I wander

    did you ever wonder if you’d got God all wrong? I’m beginning to feel as though I’ve missed something over all these years. I think I’ve tried to think myself into believing in God and what he can do or has done. i searched google for God’s love. you wouldn’t believe it, so you should…

  • If I knew now, what I will know then. . .

    So I was reading my thesis today (I know, the height of narcissism) and for the first time in a year, it wasn’t that bad. it’s shocking, I know. but I came to the conclusion that I really could’ve used more time. The whole thing would have been better, you know. When i graduated from…

  • a few questions

    How many wipes does it take to change a poopy diaper? What does it mean when your 3-year-old says “I love you” 59 times a day? What does sex really mean to women? What’s a good beer for non-beer drinkers? Did you clean your bathtub yet?

  • Getting into you

    Alright, kids. Here’s a little tidbit by way of full-disclosure. I’m a bather. Not just your run-of-the-mill (what does that mean anyway) bather who showers to get clean but a bath-taker, full with candles, music 3 or 4 books, the works. So, to wit, I have relatively high standards for bathtub cleanliness. Some of you…

  • Blog for me, blog for you?

    So, wow, there’s a lot going on around here these days. Check out Noel’s blog . He’s got some interesting stuff about the nature of blogs and what we should be saying to each other. Now, when I started on this–Davin’s–blog I had the same questions. I started mainly because Davin was not posting enough…
