Although I’m not Catholic, my church still observes many of the more ancient traditions, such as Ash Wednesday and the Lent season as a whole. Services today were at 6:30am or noon, so I was up bright and early for the morning service. Why yes, I do know I have something on my face, thank [...]

Beyond Words with Friends (wanna play? My username is grmindyjean), I’m not huge on playing games on my phone. Somehow, though, I stumbled upon Save the Pencil last week and I am completely hooked! The premise of the game is that in each level, you guide the pencil in a connect the dots type venture, [...]

When I was at my heaviest, I hated going to the mall. More often than not, shopping trips ended in tears as I had to buy pants yet another size bigger or simply just couldn’t find anything that fit the way I wanted. I remember thinking how easy the thinner girls had it – walking [...]

It’s the freakin’ weekend, baby! This week went fast, yet felt like it dragged on forever, all at the same time! Does that even make sense?! By about lunchtime today, I was so over the week – the afternoon dragged by! Did y’all watch The Biggest Loser this week? The restaurant that Conda met her [...]

I’ll be the first to admit that, being single, Singles Awareness Day Valentine’s Day isn’t generally high on my list of favorite holidays. I spent a good chunk of the morning feeling kind of crabby, a bit like a Debbie Downer. As the morning went by, I got sick of my lousy mood pretty fast. Rather [...]

I freaking love this time of year: awards show season! Although I love all of the movie/television shows, I love, love, love The Grammys. I like to fancy myself a music buff and this is THE awards show of the year for music. First, let’s talk fashion. I was not particularly impressed with the majority [...]

I slept in a bit this morning and it was absolutely glorious! I have not been sleeping well at all this week, so it was good to get a few extra zzz’s! On my way out the door for church, I made another egg, cheese, and jam sandwich for breakfast – I think this is the [...]

Before I say anything else, my Hollywood obsessed self has to say that I am completely crushed about the passing of the fabulously talented Whitney Houston. What an amazing voice! ”I Look to You” is my favorite Whitney song! RIP Whitney! I spent the majority of my day at church for the Mars Hill Students [...]

Besides the fact that it means only a few hours between me and the weekend, I look forward to Friday mornings for two reasons: StoryCorps on NPR and Fancy Coffee Friday. The latter just got even better with the wicked adorable seasonal cups Starbucks has for Valentine’s Day! LOVE. Since we’re about a third of [...]

I’ve been getting frustrated lately because try as I may, my running paces have just been getting slower and slower in the past month or so. I ran 4.0 miles tonight and it took me almost 46 minutes. A year ago, I ran a 5k in under 30 minutes. Sure, an injury and a stretch [...]
