My Experiences with an Eating Disorder

I am a little nervous about sharing my experiences with an eating disorder here. I actually have attempted several posts about it and always deleted them or made them private. Every now and then someone will write about…
For the love of a rolling pin

I got in a huge argument with my mother over a rolling pin. I cannot begin to describe my mother's love for things and to what extent of a pack rat she is. She is the type of person who will spend $100 or more on litt…
The Latest

Well lately it has been feeling like absolutely nothing is going on in the world...but today I talked to a good friend, as in I did most of the talking, and I sort of realized a lot really is happening in my life...or a…
again...

I am making the red bean paste pastries again...I cannot help myself.
random

Well my back is pretty sore from yesterday. Sore like it used to be, not a good sore at all. The rest of my body is somewhere between a good 'I worked out!" sore and a bad sore, but I am hoping I will be fine with a goo…
Quiet and Cold

It is rainy and overcast today. It is sort of nice, actually. Usually I dread these sort of days and I am dragging all day long. Not the case today. My mind is very alert and I have done quite a bit of reading compared …
New Favorite Dessert

So I was experimenting with food again last night, and came across a recipe for these cute little Chinese style red bean paste pastries. The only difference is I made my own red bean paste, instead of using a prepackag…
Knowing God

This morning was the first time in a while that I have felt really compelled to read the Word. Honestly that is not something I have been spending a lot of time doing as of late. I hate doing things just because I feel …
happy

I can't even tell you what an amazing night I have had this evening. My heart is so blessed, I could cry. Shane and I met one of our neighbors a while back at our friend's house warming, and since then I have thought o…
I'm so sleepy. But I'm posting anyway. I am excited because my brother is coming over today with his new little 4-month old puppy. I am going to make soup (from scratch, of course!) and be doing some laundry today (beca…
So Sad...

I could almost cry right now. I just spent almost 2 hours shelling hickory nuts and right when I was about to quit, I knocked the bowl of nuts on the concrete and the glass shattered so badly I couldn't salvage any of t…
My Special Love Day and Why I don't Celebrate Valentine's Day

I have never been too big on Vday. I think it used to be because I never had a real Valentine, and growing up I either broke up with the guy I was dating right before it or we were fighting during it lol...so by the tim…
This bugs me.

There is a church we visited just over a month ago, and since then I have gotten ten emails from them - TEN. It seems they put me on the e-mailing list the very first week we came - the only week we came. This really b…
Is it the glory of God, or the music that moves you?

Sunday we visited a church that I knew had been around in the area a long time. With that, as in most cases such as that, there is often resistance from the older crowd as to going more 'contemporary'. At the risk of so…
What do you want to talk about?

So I was curious...because I really want to get writing again, and it is really hard for me to force myself to write. Does anyone have any ideas, something they want to discuss, or even a question they want my opinion o…
Not much.

I feel like poo. I was supposed to take my mom to a couple of appointments tomorrow, and as my dad and I were talking about it we realized tomorrow is probably not a good day for it. I started feeling really crummy arou…
Foraging: Beechnuts

Sorry to leave you all hanging like that, probably thinking I am abysmally depressed. I am not. I have just had a lot on my mind. I appreciate everyone seeming to care so much. You guys are great. In other news, I fou…
I feel so heavy hearted. I will not share here why, so please don't ask...but please pray for me if you think about it. I think I am a little depressed. What I really need to do is go for a nice, long walk outside. It's…
Up too late...and a little vulnerable

Shane stayed home today because the roads were icy this morning, and we got a bit of snow. It turned out not to be so bad, even though it barely broke freezing today, the roads were fine by mid-morning. It is so cold an…
I hate thinking about the past.
Note to self: No glass in the back of the fridge.

Today I learned that the back of my refrigerator is below freezing. I spent a good 45 minutes cleaning up the coffee that had exploded in the jar in the back of the fridge. I am a little bummed, it was one of my favorit…
