Sometimes I play the game where I see how long my husband can talk without me saying anything in return or listening to what he's actually talking about. 7 minutes this time. All about some video game he just finished. Yawn.

Our knack for timing restroom stops just when they're cleaning the gas station bathrooms is uncanny.

Finally asleep and woken up by an 🐞 crawling on my face. I hate everything.

I'm at the Betsy-Tacy Convention with my mom and truly this is such a gift to have time with her, learning about her favorite book series. This is so niche.

Even if I doubled the time I have available for the things I ought to get done it would not be enough.

Watching the Okoboji Writers Retreat unfold gives me hope for Iowa and the country even. This part of my job does not suck.

Every year I tell myself I am going to get to the Renaissance Festival and every year September just up and disappears. Next year....

Seems unfair that we have earwigs, fruit flies, and mosquitoes all at once. Cmon frost. Help a girl out.

If you enjoy the thrill of panic cleaning for company right before they show up, you should try running a retreat center with limited staff in the shoulder season. The cabins were clean but alas, the spiders have taken over.

This is not important at all. After using mayo for a couple years, I switched back to miracle whip. Everything tastes right again. Mom was right the whole time. #tangyzip

Coffee after 8?
Still trying to find sleep now.

Steve yelled something different when I read your post out loud, for the record. Lol

I'm loving that former Broncos kickers have gone on to be loved by other teams. I will always cheer for McManus and Prater (unless they end up on the Raiders.) Go kickers!!!!

If you had told me one of our Iowa senators was announcing that they would not run for reelection next time, I would first be delighted and second assume it was the other one who turns 92 in like a month. Still... let's turn a page Iowa! Plz.

Yep. I'm a real pastor. Also yes, I did do Seminary. Yep. I preach and stuff. Sure, I do weddings... And no. I'm not going to Bible Conference events but Im glad you're enjoying them and learning so much.

I don't throw down Rev before my name often but I did on a note I left for the Bible Conference folks staying at our retreat center this week. Three conversations as a result of that note have reminded me how grateful I am for the Presbyterian Church USA & my particular flavor of theology.

I just want to see him do the shuttle race with the chalkboard erasers once.

You know what I hate? Hearing a noise you think is your cat but then seeing both cats asleep on the couch. There's something under the sink in the bathroom and I'll be damned if I'm going to open the door and risk letting it out.

I'm late seeing this. I bought a bag of these and summer staff didn't like them. Did you like them?

Today I hit a 21 day streak of meeting my step, activity minutes, and calorie burning goals. πŸ”₯ This likely will not hold all summer because of my ridiculous summer camp schedule, but it feels good to hit 3 weeks of being healthier. ❀️

I decided on the tattoo I would get if ever I got one: "capable of anything" But I would want the font to be Ben Folds' handwriting. So if I ever meet him and can get him to write that for me... just throwing that out into the universe and willing it to happen

I like beer. I like meat. I like Pringles. I bet the combination is awful.

Word on the street is that I have a beautiful colon. Get a colonoscopy if you can. The nap is fantastic and it was the best damn toast.

Having to take your 2024 Bronco Sport to the Ford service department because of a 4wd fault alert and problem with the shocks is so frustrating. This car is too new and too cute to have these problems.
