warning: parenthesis to follow. many of them. if you and i are friends, you know i talk in parenthesis as much as i write in them, so none of this will come as a shock to you. but just in case you stumbled upon my blog randomly…consider yourself warned. a really (really, really) long time […]

there is so much i put off until tomorrow. but seriously, tomorrow is almost here. tomorrow i start p90x3. i’m not putting this one off. just lining up my rest days. π after all the beachbody programs i have started (and completed), this shouldn’t be that big of a deal, right? but i have anticipated […]

good little Christian girls don’t use curse words, right? ok. well. fine. i call bull cookies on this day, then. the whole thing. every last second of it. (ok, maybe except for the part where i was sitting on Reasa’s lap in the reception area at the lawyer’s office today as she bounced me on […]

i am trying to write a book. which is humorous, really, even to say. because, frankly… …not much writing is occurring recently. i was so good at it last week. super involved. i wrote and wrote and brainstormed and outlined. i have a character with some depth, a setting i like, and a plot that […]
quiet
Posted by malindar in All About Mindy, Life on October 10, 2013
I have a really hard time with quiet. I think it’s got a lot to do with the fact that I don’t sit still long enough most of the time to experience much quiet…but that may not entirely be it. because when I leave things off…silent…my brain starts working. if I could shut it down […]

it is a difficult week. it’s only Monday. it’s not that i have too much to do, or that i’m pulled in too many directions, which is so often the case in my life. but not today. it’s just that my mind is so full. so very full. i hold this baby in my arms […]

i’m sitting on the couch this morning. i decided today that since i had to be up early to put the finishing touches on a cake to be delivered before 8 am (by my awesome husband, to his cousin), and since i stayed up until 1 am working on said cake…i would turn on the […]
grouchy post.

that was a warning. this will be a grouchy post about hypothyroidism. today i’m pouting, so i’m going to pout publicly. attractive, right? frankly, i don’t care. it’s where i live lately, when it comes to all this crap. so, let’s be bold and honest about this condition today, shall we? if you get squeamish […]

God and i are in a tough spot right now. have you ever had one of those spots? the tough ones? the ones where you are so angry about the direction things have headed in your life, so frustrated that you have made the best choices you felt you could possibly make–confirmed by wisdom from […]
