Why All Phones Should Have Cameras
How else can we find our cars in the parking lot at the end of a long day?
Contentment
Still thinking about the theme of “living in crazy.” It’s important to know when to step back from life chaos and concentrate on what’s important: calling your family to check in and ask about their lives, and spending time with friends. So that’s why I talked to my Baby Sister for the first time in […]
Getting Organized (Musically Speaking)
Do you know what you can do with a free afternoon? You can finally organize your iTunes playlists so they make sense to you. I have no illusions that my playlists make any sense to anyone else, but they now work very well for me. It’s about time.
Stop the Madness
We have gotten very tired of coming home to a door littered with advertisements, political ads and business cards. Not only does this advertise when we are (and aren’t) home, it’s hard to tell if people working the neighborhood are using their door-to-door time as an opportunity to case our home. No more.

Embracing the Now
Wow. February is turning out to be a veeeeery busy month – lots of work trips, deadlines, evening events and the like. It’s a good thing we have an extra day (thanks to Leap Year) to get it all done. My plan to keep myself from going completely mad is to embrace the now. Each […]
Transparency
I think there are times in everyone’s life where you wrestle with strong things: I’m not smart/good/pretty/fit enough. I’m marginal at what I do. I don’t have enough time to do what I want to do, let alone what I need to do. I feel taken advantage of. My focus is split between the unimportant, […]
