Cleaning is not my favorite. Never has been. Never will be. I put it off at all costs. Of course, I have my regular chores. I do the dishes. I vacuum. I steam clean the floor. I even clean the shower. But the kitchen and the bathroom? I avoid cleaning either of them. So today,
I have a terrible memory. Absolutely awful. And where this rears its ugly head the most is in remembering people's names. So from an early age, I came up with a defense mechanism. I called almost no one by their name. When I would see someone I knew, my greeting would be, "Hey, what's up?"
I have always hated any form of camping that did not involve a motorhome or a trailer. If it didn't have a bed, a bathroom, air conditioning, and a refrigerator I wasn't interested. I have tent camped a couple of times, but the majority of vacationing that we did as a family growing up was
So, I think a little background about why this was a particularly uncomfortable task is in order. I am tone deaf. But, I didn't know that as a 6-year-old. My family was on vacation and we stopped and visited some friends of my parents. My dad's friend loved singing and had a super early version
Tonight was Luke's middle school band concert. My task for tonight was to volunteer to help set up for the concert. Not that the actual setting up would be all that uncomfortable, but the volunteering. You see, I am always willing to help. At church, school, in groups that I'm in - if you ask
Oh man. I took one day off for my birthday and it was totally hard to get back on track here. I'm not sure what that says about me, but I'm pretty sure it isn't good. And I know it says that I need to keep going. So, here I go. I am not especially
Today is Mother's Day, so first of all, I'd like to wish a very happy Mother's Day to my mom and to Ann. Without you two amazing women, I can't imagine where I would be today. I love you both and I am so thankful for you. Now to today's challenge. We do Mother's Day
Sorry, but it will be a super short post today. I spent most of today building cabinets in the garage, making a mother's day project for Ann, and taking her out for a mother's day dinner since we spend tomorrow celebrating with our moms. Which means that I had to come up with something quick
I grew up eating pretty much only American food. My mom cooked and cooked well, but we were not a very adventurous eating family. So I wasn't really exposed to many "exotic" foods. You know, like Chinese food. And vegetables. Luckily I married Ann and she has really broadened my horizons. I'll eat most vegetables.
I am a pretty casual person. I don't really enjoy dressing up very much. I worked for a big advertising firm just out of college and had to wear a tie every day... and I hated it. And I haven't worn a tie very much since. Sure, at the occasional wedding or funeral. But that
