I was asked on Sunday if I could sing for my grandfather’s funeral this week. After blinking and swallowing hard (and fighting back the urge to say “are you freaking kidding me? seriously??”), I told my dad I just couldn’t do it. I knew I would be too emotional, and I’ve done the lose-all-composure-and-melt-into-a-puddle-of-tears-on-stage-in-the-middle-of-a-very-meaningful-song thing […]
i forget.

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 […]
apology.

for what i’m about to write, i apologize. because some of what i’m going to say, i’m sure i’ve said a million times. probably even devoted blog posts to it. that fact doesn’t make it less true. so. i reiterate. those of you who know me and read my blog probably already know the nitty […]

a few years ago, i wrote a blog post about Bryson. he wasn’t reading. or writing. or interested in school. he was, like, 8. i was so very discouraged about the whole blessed thing, and i was so sick of everyone and their concern about it that i decided to do what i kept reading […]

so you know i’m following the biggest loser. like a maniac. (really, it’s a little sick. i’m almost done with season 10 now.) i bought a bodymedia “link” unit two weeks ago…you know, just like the contestants wear in every season. (image found at http://bodymedia.com) i might be a little addicted to it, too. it […]
biggest loser.
Posted by malindar in Uncategorized on July 8, 2013
so. i’ve been watching a lot of biggest loser lately. like…a really lot. a really, really lot. we’re talking 4 seasons worth. but i’m working backwards. it’s an excellent thing to “watch” while i cake, i’ve found…partly because i can mostly listen without having to catch anything more than just glimpses. partly because i believe […]
lazy.

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 […]

as in -thyroidism. i own that now. i have looked at the symptoms and the treatments and the science behind this for probably two years now, always thinking, “huh. those symptoms sound like me,” but never really admitting that it could warrant testing (and, hello, no health insurance). to be honest, I’ve been saying, “noooo, […]
