Finding the Good in Everyday Life
I saw this on Twitter the other day and it resonated with me for different reasons. Partly because I also have a really dark sense of humor. https://twitter.com/DerekSheen/status/1379528954923520002?s=20 And then of course there's this, one of my favorite Jack Handy quotes of all time. “Dad always thought laughter was the best medicine, which I guess [...]
Just gonna keep this short and sweet. It’s Monday again. You’re starting up a new week. Maybe you have a lot to do in the next five days. Maybe it has all the signs of being a stressful few days. Therefore, what better way to start the week than watching a little kid drop his [...]
Owls are just cool. We once had one perch on the gate to our carport in the middle of winter storm. And with all of the snow everywhere, it was dead silent as I crept out there to get a picture, and capture its silhouette. The owl just stared at me the entire time, wondering [...]
To be honest, I had mixed feelings about doing this post. For one thing, I did a post not that long ago on grilled cheese sandwiches. Second, this couldn't really be classified as "good" food, unless you're like really, really drunk. And third, my goal for this whole blog is to focus on the good [...]
I don't have kids, so I have no idea what the proper age is before you let them run off to the local pub. Is it 3? 10? 15? 28? 94? I just don't know. But apparently in Ireland, at least one little girl is absolutely positive that the age is 6. And who am [...]
If I've heard it once I've heard it a million times: When you need a pick-me-up to get you through the rest of the week, there's nothing better than baby goats in pajamas jumping around. I do have a few questions though... When did baby goats in pajamas become a thing? Did I miss a [...]
I can't even believe I'm writing this! It's been sooooo long, and now we're officially parents! Ok, we didn't actually have a—what do you call it—a baby. One of our chickens produced an egg. Well, two eggs. Might be three now. But I imagine this is exactly, EXACTLY what it feels like to have a [...]
In the midst of the chaos of January 2021, there was this: “At least we got all those Bernie memes.” Yes we did. And here are some of my favorites. I think the lesson we can all take from this is that Real Men Wear a Mask AND Mittens (sounds like a James Bond movie). [...]
Our wedding anniversary is coming up very soon. Not that Jodi would know. She doesn’t do dates, or really numbers of any kind. I’m not kidding. She has no idea when our anniversary is. I didn’t really know this about her when we got married. It just kind of turned out to be an extra [...]
I don't like lying. I mean, I reeeeeaaaaallly don't like it. First of all, I'm no good at it. Must be the built-in guilt that the nuns install into your motherboard in Catholic school. It just makes me squirm and pace the floor and bleed out of my eyes. I can't do it. At least [...]
