The Things I Can’t Control
Great perspective, moving, beautifully written. Had to share!
Insecurity
Rachel McAdams and My Existential Crisis
Have you ever eaten something that was heavenly, absolutely divine, orgasmically good? Afterwards, you didn’t want to eat or drink anything else because it would ruin the bliss that your taste buds were experiencing, the palate party happening in your mouth. That is precisely how I felt after seeing the movie ‘About Time‘ on Wednesday…
Thanksgiving Highlights
It’s almost Christmas so I figured it’s probably time to go ahead and write my Thanksgiving post. Thanksgiving was wonderful. My entire family gets together every year for Thanksgiving, and we just keep growing and growing. This year we had 13 people all crammed into one noisy, messy cabin! The day we were supposed to…
Holidays: The Perfect Time to Brag About How Great You Are
This holiday season, remember that good deeds and random acts of kindness don’t count unless you post about them on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and every other social media outlet you belong to. I was so thankful when November finally ended because I’m not sure how much longer I could handle reading Facebook statuses like “Day 20:…
My Hypnotized Skin
It has been almost one year since I nervously sat next to a crackling fire in my living room, about to be hypnotized for the first time. I was completely petrified, scared to let my psyche and willpower (or so I thought) be placed in the hands of another person. I wasn’t being hypnotized to…

But this version has pictures, so there’s that! Some husbands say the sweetest, most romantic things in the mornings. With no…
Who Needs LSD To Hallucinate?
My first time sleepwalking was at the age of 7. It was my first sleepover and I walked out of my friend’s room and down the dark hallway to her parent’s bedroom. I opened the door, shimmied up onto the bed, and crawled between her parents where I made myself comfortable. I have a vague…
Man, I Feel Like a Woman
One of my all-time favorite books is Bossy Pants by Tina Fey. I’m currently listening to the audio book version for the second time and laughing just as hard as my first go round with Queen Fey. There are few sources of entertainment that make me laugh out loud, like really laugh. Not the forced type…
A Confusing Faith
I’ve been struggling a bit with my faith lately. I’m not doubting God’s existence and I’m not wondering if I still consider myself a Christian, because the answers to both are yes and definitely yes. My struggle, or confusion rather, is dealing with The Bible. I’ve been listening to Christian songs, Bible verses, and sermons…
