Asian Markets
Several years ago my sister got me a Korean Cookbook for xmas and I have had so much fun trying new recipes. Unfortunately a lot of the special ingredients I needed were hard to find locally, so I would get them from amazon. It was pricey and the quality was low. I follow so many…

Language of the Times
There is a lot that I hate about modern slang. I will never forgive the person who came up with the terms “skibbidy” or “rizzler”. It pains me to even type them. However, I do sometimes find myself using slang and feeling “cool”. But then I immediately give myself the ick. I never got into…

Being Typecast in Life
Have you ever been given a label and it stuck with you for… well forever? I have worn a lot of labels in my life. Some good, some bad. Some I don’t worry about and others plague me. One such example: Kids. I love kids. I truly do. I think they’re cute and funny and…

Coaches

Then there are people who simultaneously do both. I am in that third group. Example: A friend tries to…

Being Set Up
I think there is a reason that setting your friends up on dates is hard. 1. “It’s a set up!” This sounds like something criminal. You are being set up! For what? Failure? Fraud? Murder? Someone is setting you up and it doesn’t sound good! If your self esteem is low (or non-existent) then you…

Anecdotes of an Introvert: Bible Class
Sometimes my introverted self loves to have a group to sit with. A small crowd to hide within the bigger crowd. Other times I long to just sit, alone, and be. Like one of many in a class. Now, at church everyone is super nice and welcoming and kind, so I don’t HAVE to sit…
