Never A Dull Moment

I’m not sure why I put eye makeup on this morning. I went to the eye doctor and got instructions on how to put contacts in. I rubbed all my mascara and eyeliner off within five minutes. Yes, you read that right. At the age of 57, this old lady got contacts. Why now, you […]

My goodness, you just can’t take some people anywhere. I’d like to say this is the first time I’ve tried clothes on backwards in a dressing room, but it isn’t.

That awkward moment when you are on praise team and you are yakking back in the green room during the sermon (because you already heard it during the first service)—just you and the worship leader—one of those deep, awesome conversations, when you glance up at the TV screen on the wall and realize the rest […]

That awkward moment when you’ve been gallivanting around Nashville in your yoga pants for days and days (when you aren’t wearing your Hawaiian dresses you just bought) when you notice you have two holes in them.

That awkward moment when you try to buy some water at the airport and wonder why the man at the counter isn’t helping you when you realize you’re standing on the same side as the clerk and the guy on the other side of the counter is another customer and he is snickering at you […]

Doctor appointments: I loathe them. Always have. Was particularly annoyed during cancer treatment years ago when I went 3-4 days a week to some appointment or another, major ones like heart tests and chemo infusions and discussions about whether to radiate my body. I have another appointment tomorrow morning. While I hate seeing the doctor, […]

My piano-student parent who introduced me to this nougat (that I’ve talked about before)  several years ago brought me some to Gabby’s lesson on January 11. I should have given it back. Or, I guess had some self-control. The night before my trip to the ER, I joked to Ken, “Hm, I should probably stop […]
