I was watching a show the other day and I heard the expression, “my biggest fear”.
I got to wondering about all the fears out there.
Fear of spiders
Fear of snakes
Fear of heights
Fear of failure
Commitment
Clowns
Ghosts
The Dark
… I’m sure there are more, weird stuff like fear of the color red or fear of bananas. You’re right, Mr. Morrison, people [...]

Irrational fears

Is that you, Casper?
One of my favorite channels on TV is the Sci-Fi channel. I love all things science fiction, from the books to the movies to the TV shows that feature what our imaginations can create from the unknown. As far as books go, Orson Scott Card is my favorite author. Movies, pretty much all of them, since [...]

Meat frisbee, anyone?
So just about every night after we put the girls to bed, slip into our jammies and sit comfortably together with blankets over our legs, Lance and I watch a little TV. Sometimes it’s the Comedy Channel, sometimes it’s Lost reruns, courtesy of Blockbuster, but mostly it’s the Food Network. It’s “food porn” as we [...]

Dark chocolate fortunes
Yesterday Lance and I were having our daily Dove dark chocolate and the little tin foil fortune printed inside read “Remember Your Firsts”. I got to thinking about all my firsts …
My first cassette tape (a little rectangle thing with spools of tape that you put in what’s called a “cassette player” for you young’uns) [...]

The MTV in my mind
I love music. I’m sitting here at my desk with my outdated iPod Shuffle listening to a conglomeration of music that could only be appreciated by me, probably. A little Jewel, a little CCR, some U2, a smattering of the Beatles, the Weepies, the soundtrack for Surf’s Up (because, yo, it rocks!)…it’s funny-as I’m sitting [...]

Indiana Jones, my hero
Can you believe that Harrison Ford is 65 years old? Craziness! Wasn’t he just playing Han Solo and making wise cracks about the Force? When I heard that a new Indiana Jones movie would be coming out, I rented all three of the Indiana Jones movies and watched them, secretly wishing that was me, brandishing [...]

I kill marriages
I do. I’m not proud of it. It’s not something I go home and write in my diary “Dear Diary, today I got to help two people end their marriage today. It was really fun.” And when I took this job, I had no idea that was one of the bennies-the pleasure of ending a [...]

Going green with shoes
I love shoes. Don’t you? Isn’t there such a thrill when you happen upon that perfect pair of shoes that you just can’t live without? That accessory that just shouts your personality?
I came into shoes later in life than most girls. I was a plain jane simple white shoes gal for the majority of my childhood. [...]

Iron Man insights
Lance and I are avid movie watchers. We love to go to the movies and stand in line with the young and old, waiting for our turn to order popcorn and Raisinettes (always my choice). We shuffle our way into the theater and wiggle ourselves into our seats, hunting for the drink holder and trying [...]

Huh?
I know that is what everyone will think when they happen upon this blog. “Sounds like tomatoes?” they may say, scratching their head. Well, let me explain.
One day, it was really stormy outside, as it so often is here in Alabama. In fact, just recently, in the middle of the night we were roused from [...]
