Before we get to the celebration post of our first week on South Beach (and, no, it’s not as glamorous as you might think), I’m going to indulge in a bit of complaining. I could probably rationalize and justify this as “stuff I wish someone had told me” or “this is the hard part they… Continue reading Yes, as a matter of fact, I WOULD like some cheese with this whine…

Tidbits, rants, and assorted other musings…all about yours truly!
Today is the first day…
…of the South Beach Diet. You thought I was going to say “…of the rest of your life.” Well, in a sense, I do hope that’s true. The beauty of the South Beach Diet is that it is intended as a lifestyle change…a way of eating. Not something to do simply to lose weight, but… Continue reading Today is the first day…
Threads of Gratitude
I realized today that Debily is now in its 12th month of existence. And though it’s not the official one year anniversary, I can say the past 12 months have been a wild ride. I am definitely a different person, living a different life, with a different focus and a different passion for ministry than… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude
In Focus
This post could be considered a public service announcement of sorts. This probably comes as a shock to my two-handfuls of readers. If you’ve been with me for awhile, you know I don’t generally use my blog for PSA’s. I may be preachy, but this blog is generally not my preferred forum for stirring the… Continue reading In Focus
Ode to my current life
Yes, I have fallen off the blogging bandwagon, so to speak. My goal of blogging four days a week has been a challenge to reach, it seems, in recent weeks. It’s not that I’ve been particularly busy, because that’s not entirely true. It’s not that I don’t have anything to write about, because I can… Continue reading Ode to my current life
A Model of (dis)Organization
For most of my adult life I have been complimented many times by those who claim I am very organized. I demur, claiming that it’s all an illusion, but still the accolades persist. It’s tempting to believe, but I know the truth. Despite my best efforts to look organized, to present an organized front, to… Continue reading A Model of (dis)Organization
Okay, I did it…now what?
I started a Facebook registration back in February sometime because all my online piano teacher friends were doing it. Now I’ve been prodded to complete the process by good buddy RC. So, because I had nothing better to do at 5:30 A.M. after being woken up to let the dog out (for the third consecutive… Continue reading Okay, I did it…now what?
Ever feel like you’re driving around in circles?
Welcome to my yesterday. 8:30 A.M. – Drive to far northeast Plano to give a piano lesson.  Leave house 10 minutes late. Arrive closer to 8:40. 9:15 A.M. – Finish lesson, but stay to chat a bit and offer condolences over a recent family death. Leave house at 9:25. 9:40 A.M. – Drive to Trey’s… Continue reading Ever feel like you’re driving around in circles?
Braggin’ Rights
The world of papercrafters is large and vast. So many possibilities exist, so many new territories can be explored. Scrapbooking is one of them. Cardmaking is another. Many who scrap cross over to cardmaking. Many who create beautiful, hand-made cards also enjoy designing gorgeous scrapbook pages. I, however, am not one of them. In all… Continue reading Braggin’ Rights
With age comes wisdom, I guess
With great appreciation to Na-homie of Randomness, I offer you this list of things I’ve come to realize as I have grown…er…shall I say….*ahem* more mature older. 1. I’ve come to realize that: My life, though far from perfect, is pretty darn great 2. I’ve come to realize that, when I talk: I occasionally say… Continue reading With age comes wisdom, I guess
