Sarcasm Anyone?

You Have Your Sarcastic Moments
While you're not sarcastic at all times, you definitely have a cynical edge.
In your opinion, not all people are annoying. Some are dead!
And although you do have your genuine moments, you can't help getting your zingers in.
Some people might be a little hurt by your sarcasm, but it's more likely they think you're hilarious.

The Cat's Meow.

Moving furniture today, my husband and I plopped down our HUGE sitting chair and proceeded to pile junk on top of it to help clear off the bookshelves.

I heard a strange noise. Saw my baby kitten Roloff clawing near the chair and realized the noise I was hearing was MY CAT TEAGAN TRAPPED UNDER THE HUGE, JUNK COVERED CHAIR!

You could say I feel horrible.

But that would be an understatement.

I May Kidnap The Muffin Man

Over three years ago puzzle pieces began to come together and it was discovered I am allergic to sugar. If I eat even the slightest bit of refined sugar, I will get an immediate headache followed by flu like symptoms for days. It is horrible. And so for three years I haven’t eaten sugar.

Life sugar-free is not as hard as it sounds. Tasty things are still available and for the most part, sweet free life is a breeze.

That is until I walk into a coffee shop and smell muffins.

Beautiful, gorgeous, delicious muffins!


It is in those moments

A GIRL JUST WANTS A FREAKIN MUFFIN
.




It’s not easy being the platypus of the human race. A bunch of left over parts tossed together crafted into a wild creation.



Psalm 139:14 tells me God thinks I am wonderfully made. I’d like to sit down with Him when I reach my eternal destination and ask just what His specific definition is for “wonderfully”.

Until then, I lust after muffins.

Oh, Blogthings, You Make Me Blush.




You Are a Total Brainiac



You're amazingly brilliant. Some would even say genius.

You're curious, thoughtful, analytical, and confident.



You take on difficult subjects because you want to... not because you have to.

No field of knowledge is too complicated or intimidating for you.



You've got the brains to do anything you want.

It's possible you end up doing everything you want.

Take My Breath Away


If you were to ask me what the most romantic thing about marriage is, I would answer, “The unromantic-ness of it all.”

The car rides.

The grocery shopping.

The late night laughter.

The meat defrosting on the counter.

The new wine rack we bought today for 5 bucks!


Every day errands just become more beautiful when I am with my husband. Today, while in the car on the way home from dropping off medical records, he was rubbing the back of my neck while we sang along to the radio and

I.

Loved.

Him.

More.

Than.

Life.


Unromantic errands take on hues of deep love when I am with him. And it is in those moments I find he takes me breath away.

Oh The Horror

Four months ago, almost to the day, Indy and I were on our honeymoon. We stayed in THE MOST ADORABLE chalet you’ve ever laid your eyes on. It looked like something Snow White would’ve lived in given the chance.

It was, however, quite secluded. Ok, that may be an understatement. It was out in the middle of nowhere – and its seclusion brought no cell phone service, iced over roads and grocery stores mile and miles and miles away.

I loved it.

Indy made us leave early.

Did you catch that? He made us leave our HONEYMOON location early! (In his defense, we relocated to a hotel in the middle of a seriously bustling, busy city which turned out to be the best part of our honeying.)

Indy had us leave seclusion because well, when the sun set, it was rather terrifying in that chalet. With no way to get in touch with the outside world in the event of something gone horribly wrong…

We heard lots of hair-raising noises late at night. Windows were shutting loudly on their own. Things were getting a little creepy…

The whole drive into the major city where we were to finish out our newly wedded bliss, I made fun of my husband for his fear.

Actually, “made fun of…” really isn't a fair admission.

I was like Seinfeld on “What’s the deal with…” crack.

I want to publicly ask Indy to forgive me today. Because today we went to see The Strangers. A movie based on a true story.



A story that very well could’ve been us a few months ago.

Indy, you win. From here on out I say we vacation at major resorts and bustling cities.

Thanks for saving our lives, baby.









O Proud Left Foot...

The Hokey Pokey
Shakespearean Style 

O proud left foot, that ventures quick within
Then soon upon a backward journey lithe.
Anon, once more the gesture, then begin:
Command sinistral pedestal to writhe.
Commence thou then the fervid Hokey-Poke.
A mad gyration, hips in wanton swirl.
To spin! A wilde release from heaven's yoke.
Blessed dervish! Surely canst go, girl.
The Hoke, the poke -- banish now thy doubt
Verily, I say, 'tis what it's all about.
