last night, my girl posted a picture of me from my phone to my facebook wall. i knew she was taking the picture, but didn’t completely realize that she hadn’t given the phone back immediately. as i stood in front of my computer chatting with a friend, the picture popped up on my feed. i […]

I made stuff from pinterest this weekend. Only this time, it wasn’t crafty. And I didn’t sit around and scour pinterest for ideas. I found ideas online, pinned them to my boards, and used them as ideas. What a concept. 🙂 So. I’m going to pin them to my own “I made something from pinterest” […]
thoughts.

Feel free not to read this one, folks. Oy. I had a conversation with an old friend last night (ok, it was a former student. yeah. don’t even GET me started on that one)…and we talked about the whole “benevolent God, bad things happen, how does that all work together?” thought process. We both agreed […]
One Night
Posted by malindar in Uncategorized on January 20, 2012
It takes just one night. One conversation. To make my brain spin. It takes just a few moments to wonder…what if?? I think I’m fickle. I think I always have been. What do you wonder?
fear
Posted by malindar in Uncategorized on January 18, 2012
I have irrational fears sometimes. Yep. Crazy ones. Like the times I lay in bed at night and think I hear something. And then I lay there paralyzed, knowing I have to get out of bed to check on it. And as I’m laying there, I think…wait…did that thing on the wall just move? And then […]
this was not supposed to be this hard any more.

there are things you just don’t see coming. things that shock you when really…no. they probably shouldn’t. i guess when we spoke the words and wrote the agreement and started living through the reality of separation and divorce…because there just was no longer any other alternative…we were in a different place. it’s funny how time […]
humble pie.

oy. i ate it tonight. it was in the form of a text message. sent in response to another text message. one in which i was…snide. at best. and even though i could have easily justified it, you know what happened? it nagged at me. it tore me up. 33 words. exactly enough to shove […]
back to routine

don’t you love that feeling? that “i’ve-gone-through-a-crazy-end-of-the-year-after-Christmastime-and-i-finally-feel-like-things-are-coming-back-together-again” feeling? it was touch and go there for a little while, i have to tell you. we’re on our way. school started back up today, we’re plowing through our assignments with some good extension-type activities (amazing what happens when mom actually plans rather than just winging it when the […]
back to knitting… (pin)

My kids always know I’m upset when I start cleaning. My son has internalized this…when I start cleaning, he starts cleaning around me. He is, by nature and by birth order, the youngest. He is a pleaser. And he adores me…which is, dare I say, mutual. He also HATES when I am upset. So…he works […]
burlap wreath (pin)
Posted by malindar in Uncategorized on December 2, 2011
I am in love with burlap. All decorations burlap. It’s a bit of a mess, actually, because…well, burlap is messy. It sheds. But it’s so. cool. looking. So…I found this awesome wreath…and thought to myself, “I could so make that.” Inspired by pins, I went searching for a tutorial that wasn’t just a gathered, rough-edged […]
