Humanity doesn’t appreciate lies. I don’t care what the philosophers say. This, to me, is a fact. And unless you’re some weird-psycho-alien-thing, I’m going to assume that you don’t like them either. I certainly don’t. I don’t particularly enjoy telling them either, so I feel the need to have a brief moment of honesty and [...]
Do you ever feel like you're careening at break-neck speed towards a goal that never gets closer? (Yes, that's a paradox. Bear with me.) At the beginning of August, I had plans. Big plans. I'd finally found my writing pace after months of being unproductive, and my book was flowing better than ever. I'd acquired [...]
Last week, as life decided to pile up on us, mom, Anna, and I thought it high time we shirked our responsibilities and went out for a mid-afternoon Starbucks. We're really not lazy, I promise. (Well, actually, I might be, but that's a different subject.) But this time of year is our book business's busiest [...]
Hello, Lovelies. I emerge from the great void of sleeplessness with yet another deep and slightly personal pondering of a serious and philosophical nature. I don't know why this only happens when I'm tired. Side effects of lunacy. I'll figure it out one day. Anyway. It's time for another 2 AM talk with Sarah. I've [...]
I almost didn't publish something today. Hang on, hang on, there's a reason. (There always is...) This wasn't just me being lazy and furtively ignoring my blogging accountability partner. (Which I would *cough* NEVER *cough cough* do... *choke*) The reason I almost didn't post today is ACTUALLY because of you guys. Yep. It's YOUR fault. [...]
I was going to post something funny and lighthearted about the dangers of being a youngest child, but honestly, I am so tired right now, I don't have the mental capacity to be engaging. By now, you should probably know what that means. Guys, buckle down for another 2 AM talk with Sarah. What follows [...]
Let us take a moment of silence to accept that summer is pretty much over and September is already upon us. Thank you. *silence* Did I mention school is starting for me soon? *dies* Did I mention school is a terrible, terrible thing, even for a homeschooler? *dies again* The approach of said school has [...]
Yes, I am completely behind the times. Though that really shouldn't come as a great shock to anyone. *ahem* Guys, we did it. My family finally watched something that is kind of a classic. Last month, actually, so that's something to be proud of, despite the fact that I'm relaying old news. And, during a [...]
Hello, my people. Today I bring you another philosophical pondering which is both deep and dangerous. You've been warned. See, in my aunt's cow pasture, there's this decently large hill that's full of ticks and weeds and other such nastiness. When I was little, I would look up toward the top, and wonder what was [...]
This is a post for the misunderstood. That's kind of weird sounding, so let me rephrase: This is me, panicking at the last minute because I didn't have anything to write about, and therefore plunging into a deep and philosophical pondering. Scared yet? You should be. To dive right in, I'll start with a quick [...]
