What a Year
2011 will go down in the Wendy history books as the single most eventful year of my life. It’s had euphoric highs and devastating lows. A life began and one ended. I experienced the happiest moment of my life and … Continue reading
Cookie Monster Would Love Me Right Now
Yesterday I was baking cookies off and on for a few hours and it was enjoyable. I wanted to make more than just one type of cookie so I made two. I made cream cheese sugar cookies with white frosting … Continue reading
Bakemaster #1
I haven’t baked for about a year, but I’m baking today. I’m making cookies. I’m making them because cookies are delicious and because I’m having people over on New Year’s Eve and I want them to leave thinking “Wow, those … Continue reading
5 Reasons Not to Own Cats
You’re either a dog person or a cat person. It’s rare to find someone who likes both animals equally. For some reason, I thought I would reflect upon my own preferences because, I don’t know, maybe you will find it … Continue reading
Jolly Jumping
Here’s Darwin’s very first time testing out the Jolly Jumper from a few weeks ago. Now it’s his favorite thing to do.
Back to Normal
As nice as holidays can be, it’s always great to get back to normal and that is what I’ve been doing today. Sure, it’s still necessary to ring in the new year but that certainly is not as stressful as … Continue reading
Season’s Greetings!
The day has arrived. I was woken up this morning at 7:30AM by a hungry little boy. Soon my littlest sister, Katie emerged from her slumber and joined me in the living room where the presents were lit only by … Continue reading
‘Twas the Night Before Christmas
Well, the big day is almost here. December 24th, or Christmas Eve, is the night where most kids find it hardest to sleep. I remember being little, when the excitement was so great that I would toss and turn until … Continue reading
If I Were a Giraffe
Sometimes I like to think of what I would do and how my life would be different if I was someone or something other than myself. Usually I don’t share these thoughts on the blog or otherwise, but I couldn’t … Continue reading
Getting There
As I complete project after Xmas project, I’m getting closer to feeling even the slightest tinge of happiness this holiday season. In just a few days, Darwin will experience his first Christmas gift giving and it’s going to be really … Continue reading
O Christmas Tree, Close Enough
When it comes to decorating for the holidays, I’m a bit of a scrooge. Each year I just can’t be bothered with lights and glitter and a tree and cleverly wrapped picture frames hung on the wall. It’s always the … Continue reading
Dear Facebook Friends
At the moment there are 805 of you. 805 people who likely get annoyed with my freuqent and often annoying status updates about my period or any other random inappropriate thought that pops into my head when I type into … Continue reading
A Long Davecember
It was on this day in 1983 that my love and Darwin’s father took his first breath of air. Had he continued breathing until today he would have been 28 years old; a proud father and soon-to-be husband. The title … Continue reading
Ye Forsaken Footwear
Have you ever looked at a bizarre scene and wondered what circumstances could have possibly led to its existence? Yesterday I was shown a world that I had previously not noticed and I will never be able to shop in … Continue reading
Bloody Awful Timing
There is just 8 days until Christmas. The pressure is on. Everybody who leaves things to the last minute is scrambling to get done and I certainly count myself as part of that group. In an act of rebellion, my … Continue reading
Death of a Legend – Goodbye Christopher Hitchens
I don’t know if I have ever directly discussed my beliefs on my blog (or rather the lack thereof). Truth is, I’m a pretty staunch atheist. I’ve never really believed in any gods and I feel as though religion does … Continue reading
Holiday Procrastination
I really have no excuse. Every year it happens at the exact same time. Yet, each year it seems to sneak up on me. What’s worse is that I generally try to make some form of art for everyone on … Continue reading
Legal to Learn
I mentioned a few months ago that I never got my driver’s license. I even put it down as a goal on my Project 101 list. Although I don’t have my full license yet, on Monday I got my learner’s … Continue reading
The Great Grocery Store Incident of 2011
My parenting philosophy is as follows: The less baby cries, the more I win. I’ve been pretty good at this game so far. Darwin is not a fussy baby and I have been called lucky on more occasions than I … Continue reading
“Draw Me Like One of Your French Girls”
The millisecond that someone finds out that you can draw, something changes in their brain. They go from treating you like a normal person to feeling an overwhelming urge to ask you to do things for them. This isn’t necessarily … Continue reading
Rant: Grammar on Facebook
Forgive me for what you’re about to read. It’s out of character for me because I’m usually very nice online. I don’t like to start arguments or make people feel bad. I tend to overlook the thousands of grammar mistakes … Continue reading
Dave – 3 Months Later
Today marks 3 months since my love died, leaving my heart cold and his son fatherless. I have shed a lot of tears over the last quarter of a year, but I’ve grown a lot as well. I thought that … Continue reading
The Truest Story You Will Ever Read
This is a true story. I became lost in the wilderness. I pushed my way hopelessly through oak trees and homeless people, looking for a way out. Eventually I encountered a half-frozen, half boiling pond filled with glitter. It shimmered … Continue reading
The Fine Art of the Facebook Status Update
I have been using Facebook on and off since 2007 and I’ve used it almost daily since 2009. I’ve updated it with over 1,121 statuses at the time of writing this. My status updates have received 4,263 comments and 3,248 … Continue reading
Writing Fictionally
#70 on my Project 101 list is to write a fictional short story. I’ve become so used to writing the unembellished truth that the idea of writing something fictional feels like staring into a foreign land where the customs have … Continue reading
