I thought I would give you all a sneak peak into my work life. I started last March at a non-profit ESL learnign center (email me for the website). (PS- Don’t judge us by our website. It is a work in prograss. Ten points to the person who can find the picture of the creepy … Continue reading

Mud ‘tween my fingers and grass in my teeth
I had a new life experience this week- a mud run. Abilene style, of course, which means that the touted “obstacles” were wooden balance beams, a gigantic air slide, hurdles taken from a high school, and dragging a tire across the ground. But I would expect nothing less, because those things are on the Top … Continue reading
T-Shirt Series #2: Every Party Has a Pooper
{My younger sister went to Thailand to work at an orphanage this summer. You can read about her adventures here. She apparently found a t-shirt salesman who made t-shirts in English. Some of them are hilarious; some make no sense at all. She brought me 4 amazing little gems and I will blog about each of … Continue reading
A Mario By Any Other Name Would Smell As Sweet…
I really wanted to change my name in the 3rd grade. Because my given name is Elizabeth, I have plenty of options. (At least I wasn’t like my sister, who wanted to change her name from Leah to something like Samantha or Tiffany.) On the first day of school, I told my teacher that I … Continue reading
Rodney the Ram
I don’t know that there is a worse mascot than a ram. Perhaps the Itasca Wampus Cats, although that mascot is more AWESOME than lame. A ram just doesn’t strike fear into the heart of a Viking or a Unicorn. Especially if it’s named Rodney. I mean, what happened to Dirk or Ripsaw? In August, … Continue reading

Saving my Husband from Imminent Danger
Sometimes it’s not a stranger who needs saving. Here’s how my Saturday has gone: I, napping in bed, am awoken by a phone call from my husband, who left early in the morning to go bike riding. “I don’t feel so good. I think you need to come pick me up.” “Okay. Where are you?” “I’m on the trail … Continue reading
Saving a Stranger from Imminent Danger
I don’t know. Maybe it’s my old age or my big city ways, but my sense of personal boundaries has been steadily eroding since I graduated from college and moved to Dallas. Sure, it’s always been the case that if you say to me, “Man, I really hurt my back yesterday”, I will inevitably punch your … Continue reading
Dear AT&T
{I’m a letter writer. I wrote a letter to that guy who burned the Quran in Florida. I wrote a letter to Chex Mix and told them that they should make a bag of just the squares. I wrote a letter to an evangelist who came to A&M whose website says that we should be … Continue reading
