Last night I spent over two hours on the phone with internet tech support (EXTREMELY frustrating) after a fabulous two hours brainstorming new plots (thanks so much, gals!). If you’ve never brainstormed and played the “what if” game, you really have to try it. You just never know what great ideas will be generated and who of your characters will …

I have written about The Election by Jerome Teel before. I was personally excited to see someone writing about the intersection of law and politics. Jerome does a great job with that in this book. To me it has the feel of Tom Clancy’s political subplots or a Grisham political thriller. A lawyer is one of the main characters, but …

Make that gigantic. Out of this world. Almost impossible to wrap your mind around. The Center for Responsive Politics, a DC based non-profit, estimates that this year’s election (coming up in less than two weeks) will cost $2.6 Billion. Yep, that’s not a typo. That really is B as in Billion. I don’t know about you, but by the time …

How weird are you? Webster defines weird as “of fate or destiny, …strikingly odd…eccentric or unconventional in behavior.” I like to think of myself as unique, not weird. Ah, well, Tricia Goyer tagged me on a weirdness Meme (still not sure what that means!). So what are five ways I’m weird, I mean unique? 1) I know what a Runza …

Saw an interesting article featured on Tricia Goyer’s Generation NeXt Parenting blog today. The article focuses on the results of a survey commissioned by Tierney Communication on the spending habits of JenX, the female portion of Generation X. Now that many of us are sliding into our 30s, we’re growing up in more ways than one. We’re learning to shop …

OOPS! Eric pointed out this morning that he isn’t on my earlier list. Big, glaring OOPS. (Tricia, here’s an example for Generation NeXt Parenting!) I really thought he was there. Sigh. So here’s my top ten list of things I LOVE about Eric: He loves God whole-heartedly. He loves me 🙂 He loves football as much as I do. He …

I just found out that the movie One Night with the King is out (click on the link to go to the trailer). I loved the book, Haddasah: One Night with the King, and posted a review of it on June 26th. So if you’re looking for a flick to see, you might check this one out. I know I …

The ACFW online course this month is a mini-course in life coaching. What do we value and are we reinforcing that in the way we live. One of the exercises had me looking at what I do and matching it against what I love. So here’s a short list of the things I love: Connecting with old friends (Hi, Gideon). …

There are days I love being a practicing attorney. Yesterday was one of them. I spent the morning in a deposition with opposing counsel who have actually been pretty easy to work with. We have the larger portion of the case settled and will likely do the same with the rest of the case as well. After that concluded I …

Sometimes I really don’t understand blogger. I had a perfectly lovely post written and ready to post, when POOF, it disappeared. I guess this is why I’m supposed to draft the posts in another program. SIGH! Anyway, tonight Eric and I took advantage of the fact we live in a city with a major Big 10 University (I’ll give you …
