Sunday Songbird: Fiero Roadtrip
I’ve been having a real Ted and Marshall situation lately, in that every single time I’ve gotten in the car lately, this song has been playing.
Sunday Songbird: My Mind is For Sale
Today, my old iPhone sits in an iHome in my son’s nursery, quietly playing Jack Johnson’s soothing – upbeat and happy, yet still relaxed, and somewhat scathing – songs, lulling him to sleep every night…It’s fair to say he’s stuck with me through it all.
The Most Realistic Fairy Tale
So, first of all, I just want to say that you guys are awesome. I mean, even when words fail me and I think a post I’ve written is total…well…crap, (excuse me), you all come along and read it and comment on it just like it’s any other post! With words of encouragement and mutual…
Progress Report: I am Missing You To Death
Blah. I want to write, but I have nothing to say. “These words are all I have so I write them, I need them just to get by.” Dance, Dance – Fall Out Boy I want to catch up with blogs and commenting, because it feels like it’s been forever, but my brain just won’t…
On Art and Music
“Art doesn’t transform. It just plain forms.” – Roy Lichtenstein It’s unfortunate, to me, that one of the first things to get cut with school budgets are the arts. Especially music classes.

Who Are You, Essentially?
Do you ever forget who you are? I never thought it could happen to me. In fact, I was so busy knowing who I was that I didn’t even realize that I was lost. As you may have noticed, I’ve been doing a lot of self-reflection lately. And one of the things I’ve discovered during…

Find out the story behind the “Why I Don’t Have A Boyfriend” series of posts in my response to the newest Frequently Asked Question here,…
Time May Change Me…
…But I can’t trace time… There’s just something about the change of the seasons that brings about an inward stirring, don’t you think? Maybe it’s just me, but Spring isn’t the only time of the year I get the urge to rummage through the cupboards and toss things that are no longer needed. Perhaps it’s the…
Quoted
On my last Quoted post I received a comment from Chuck Huss who said, “I find great quotes in song lyrics.” I loved that he said this, because I couldn’t agree more. Song lyrics are a fantastic source of quotes, and as I said in my response to him, they often feel like poetry set…
Free Fallin…
I’m a quarter century old today! And this has been my favorite song for 23 years. Although I think it’s a pretty safe to say that if it had come out 2 years sooner, it would have been my favorite for all 25. Anyways, I hope you enjoy: How dated is this video?? What’s your…
