Training Day

By On February 21, 2012 · Leave a Comment

We are two weeks from closing on our new house (gasp gasp sputter fall over!) and as the date draws ever nearer I find myself in this weird mix of emotions. I am beyond excited, but trying not to be too excited since you never know what may happen in two weeks. I am ready [...]

Yes, I did ask if there were resident ghosts

As Jasmine pointed out on Twitter, this blog post is almost like it was pulled straight out of my brain and put onto GGC.

Rusty and I have been swimming in the real estate waters for oh about…our whole lives. And for real swimming for about 6 months. And for no serious swimming in [...]

I Killed it Rather Quickly

Here’s a little gem for you, a story I wrote when I was somewhere around the 4th grade. 

 

Once I lived a life that was calm and easy. But about a year ago I left my house to find something new. I was inspired by a book called The Hobbit. The only thing I [...]

Camp Perkins

Over the weekend Rusty and I went backpacking in the Ozark National Forest. As a kid I went camping alot with my family, but it was always car camping, sometimes for a week at a time, which when I think about it, is pretty awesome. But I had never been backpacking, never packed and carried [...]

Waiting

By On January 20, 2012 · 8 Comments

I think I have spent a considerable amount of time in life waiting.

Waiting to be in middle school, to live the glamorous kind of life my older sister lived in 7th and 8th grade.

Waiting to get my driver’s license so I could be independent.

Waiting to go to college, to be on my [...]

More of Them than Me

Max has figured out how to get into the cabinet under the kitchen sink. You know the one, the cabinet that houses all the grimy sponges and rejected vases that don’t fit into my designated “GLASSWARES” cabinet, the plastic bowl and scrubber brush with brown stains of mysterious origins. Its the cabinet with the cleansers, [...]

Mirrors

By On January 3, 2012 · 2 Comments

I’ve never liked looking at myself in the mirror while exercising. In fact, during a few month stint when I was going to step aerobics with Jasmine I would actively avoid seeing myself. It was just too awkward looking, almost painful, my inability to figure out that stupid cha-cha step.

But the other day in [...]

Someone Swaddle Me

You know, the best skill to learn when you are a parent is the ability to remain calm in the face of your child’s pain/horror/fury/whathaveyou. Even though your insides might be exploding from the sheer panic you feel when you realize your preshusss baby fell off the bed and has blood running down his face, [...]

FYE or Rather FYL (For Your Limbs)

By On November 28, 2011 · 1 Comment

So recently I have taken up doing yoga. Yoga has always been something I’ve wanted to do, wanted to be good at, something I swooned over. But I never did it. Why? I have no idea, just one of those things. But a couple weeks ago I just said, Oh come on now Sadie! Just [...]

A Sparkly Hugger

By On November 18, 2011 · 1 Comment

I don’t know that I have every actually said (or typed) this out loud on the internet, but I have depression. Specifically, Depressive Disorder NOS (not otherwise specified, which is kind of funny to me when I think about it). I’ve had depression for a while. A long while, probably longer than I actually know, [...]
