After a year of threatening, after a month of really trying…today I began therapy.
What a let down.
First of all, no couch. NO COUCH! In the movies, there’s ALWAYS a couch. And after last night’s sleep, I could have used one.
He didn’t once ask me about my mother. Not once did he ask if I had [...]

Last night, I went out with a bunch of guys for dinner and a movie. We saw Glory Road. If you haven’t seen it…I’ll simply give you the brief plot outline, and you can write the screenplay, and there’s a 99% chance you will get it exactly as it is in the movie.

You know, I was staring at my blog just now, wanting to write an MLK post, but I got distracted.
I have a tense problem.
It seems I can’t make up my mind when I blog; I can’t decide when the heck I’m writing. Am I using past voice or am I using present voice? [...]

It’s my girls telling the Christmas story. Talli (then known as Natalie, of course) narrates, Hayley does all the puppet direction, [...]

Sigh. I really can’t believe I’m doing this, but you know, you’re supposed to obey your parents.
My dad is trying to decide which of three dogs to get, and he can’t decide. So, he’s posted three dog pictures on his blog, and he asked me to ask you, my faithful readers, to go help him [...]

I have…hold your breath now…a character flaw. Shocking, I know. But the truth is, I can be a little bit obsessive. I can fixate on something, to the exclusion of everything else. And three years ago, it came out at Christmas time.
I got this great idea, see, and once the idea was in my head, [...]

Inconceivably, I find it my sad duty to report to you, that once again, Shawn McConaughey has somehow been beaten out as the sexiest man alive. This time, though, People has gone too far…they’ve named Matthew McConaughey as their man. I see it as a grave injustice, and one that is incredibly insensitive to Shawn. [...]
