For Better or Worse

come on get higher

September 18, 2011

There is an awakening–of sorts–when first you meet your other.  A tingling wave of emotion as loneliness melts away against the warmth of his smile.  Just the hint of light breaks at first–a beacon of promise. And then something–you can’t exactly be sure what–sets it off.  An undeniable spark that pops like the fourth of [...]

How My Wife Corrupted Me

June 29, 2011

In case the title didn’t give it away, it’s Jeff again and I’m back for another fill-in assignment. This time, I wanted to let you all in on something I’m sure you never knew. Darcie is, hands down, the sweetest person I’ve ever met, albeit in her own unique way. She is kind, gentle, and [...]

We’ll Still Be

April 6, 2011

Yesterday was the first time in a long time that I didn’t make my writing goal.  I didn’t work out, either. I hate those days.  They make me feel plain slothful. I’m a creature of habit.  I wake up and get the kids off to school.  I write.  I make breakfast for Jayce and we [...]

November 13, 2010

My husband and I don’t exchange gifts.  Ever. Not for Christmas.  Or lovey-dovey Valentines.  Or anniversaries.  Not even birthdays.  Not.  Ever.

Home Again

September 2, 2010

He’s baaaa-aack. Not that you ever knew he was gone.  Seems I have an aversion to announcing to the wide internets that my husband is out of town on business.  You know, inviting the crazies and all. He’s back now.  After four long days away, in Dublin, Georgia.  Which has nothing on Dublin, Ireland, I’d [...]

The Good Wife

July 2, 2010

Yeah, so I totally performed my wifely duties tonight. Um, no.  Not those wifely duties.  Ahem. I mean the wifely duties where I run around in the 107 degree heat all day, picking up ingredients for the perfect dinner.  And then I come home and clean house and make a totally organic, from-scratch dinner and [...]
