I am having some breakfast before I go meet my soon to be good friend Ted Dekker (yeah right!) and I started crying. I read today's post over at MomLife Today... Sweet memories tumble through my head and slowly spill out of my eyes as salty tears. It was supposed to be just another one of my daily walks through the nearby lush green park, but it ended up being a walk down memory lane. I saw her running through the play ground, her dark … [Read more...]

Ted Dekker…Here I Come
Busting with excitement here! Tomorrow I am heading to The Ragged Edge Writers' Symposium with Ted Dekker! Oh heck yes I am! This is supposed to be an intensive that will leave us dripping and oozing with ideas, techniques and writing oh-rah excitement x 1,000!!! I can hardly contain myself. My daughter has her final goodbye plans with her High School friends while I'm away so she's getting that out of her system so we can spend all … [Read more...]
Friend Thing
Today I went and met with my friend Jenn - she's pretty wonderful. We did the whole meet at the coffee shop and sit and chat thing. We totally lost track of time and ended up there nearly three hours. Yeah...sweet. {umm...some things didn't get done today...and it really is ok!} As moms we sometimes spend so much time doing our mom thing that we neglect our friend thing. Spending those three hours with her made me realize I should do that … [Read more...]

Gross Idea Boys Will Love
Your sons will think you are the coolest mom on the planet if you buy them jelly beans...not just any jellybeans mind you! Special ones. {gag} Did you know there are jelly beans that are described as skunk spray, ear wax, and booger? Oh yeah, and if you want to have some rip roaring fun...gather a group of brave children and serve em up! So, these little boxes of jelly beans are called Bean Boozled they come with 20 jelly beans in a box, … [Read more...]
Major House Dump
Well – our house looks like it has been ransacked! And it has, by us. It appears that in the last several months (and years) more and more junk has managed to accumulate in our home. As a result we cannot get to what we really need or what’s important because there is too much junk in the way. With our oldest about to go off to college she is in the process of de-cluttering and giving away much in her room. Our son has definitely outgrown … [Read more...]
Head Down Deadline Approach-eth
I am so enjoying my summer - just yesterday I went on a date with my teenage son! The second one in the last month and I must admit this is helping the angst I am feeling as I am staring at my daughter leaving in August for her freshman year of college. Here's the "don't it just figure" part of the equation - my first set of rewrites for my book are due September 1st! I really am enjoying diving in and going deeper and it is proving to be a … [Read more...]
Hero’s Salute
Today is a day filled with History. A history of freedom in this "sea to shining sea" land I am grateful for...but on the 4th of July I think of the individual lives who make up our history of freedom. I think of the American Soldier...thank you and God bless you and yours. … [Read more...]
Random Thoughts
Walking in the park today I saw a Daddy playing soccer with his two young sons...more Dads should do that. I have a friend in my life that always seems to go out of her way to be kind to me...she is a blessing. My neighbors dogs bark at me while I am in my own yard...really, it's my yard?! The stray cat that hangs out at our home won't let me pet him, but whenever I talk to him he scratches his head against the chair and pretends it's me … [Read more...]
