When Doctors Attack
Feeling violated by a doctor is never good. I recently visited my doctor for a yearly checkup to make sure everything is in the right place and working as it should, you know being an adult and all. My normal doctor was out on maternity leave so I settled for another doctor because I didn’tContinue reading “When Doctors Attack”
Falling Behind in Life
We interrupt our normal blogging schedule to bring you these thoughts. Below is a conversation I may (or may not) have had with God. You know what, you’re timing is tough to understand.

January 1st, 2014…
…was a new day! I’m rusty on my blog writing skills. I figure I needed a warm up sentence to get the juices flowing since my last post was nearly 2 months ago 🙂 So, I’m not usually the type of person who thinks, “Oh yeah!!!

What makes someone popular on YouTube? I recently began watching (from the beginning way back in 2007) a blog by two brothers who startedContinue reading “Nerdfighters!”
Vague is Vague, Good is Good
This will be one of my more vague posts, and for that I do apologize. I would want to share more, but there’s still stuff needing time to process and develop before that is possible. If you’ve read my blog before, you most likely know that change and I are not friends. Even good changesContinue reading “Vague is Vague, Good is Good”
