Misplaced Marriage Advice Comments Off

While we were engaged, innocent young lovers who hadn’t yet kissed, we got lots of marriage advice. Sport a ring and a goofy look and you’re just too obvious a target, apparently. The advice usually ran along these lines:

  • Enjoy your freedom while it lasts.
  • Oh, look at you now, but just wait till the honeymoon’s over.
  • Soon it will just be fight, fight, fight.
  • You’re so young to get married! (I was 24, he was 23 when we got married.) continue reading…

Hallelujah, Somebody Is Seein’ the Light! Comments Off

Look, I’m just saying – social networking isn’t actually NEW and if you weren’t making it worthwhile before all the online venues popped up, you’re probably not making it worthwhile now. Easier doesn’t always mean better, or more productive, or more efficient. It just means lots more ways to get distracted.

Don’t agree? Think (online) social networking is amazing, totally different than anything that’s ever been on the face of the earth? You’re not alone. I assume I’m in the minority opinion here, which is okay. That’s a spot I’m pretty comfortable with.

It’s just the introverted me coming out… and that biiiiiiiiig part of me that resists all trends simply because they are trends. I know, I know. I’m working on it.

Day 12/13: Exercise Challenge Comments Off

When you do the common things in life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world. George Washington Carver
Update (Saturday/Sunday): Normally my day of rest occurs on what we officially recognize as the day of rest: Sunday. This week, however, Saturday was my off day for exercise. So Sunday I did 30 minutes cardio (we walked around town) and 10 minutes stretching (while watching funny YouTube videos with Joe; maybe this is why I like stretching).Humor is healthy. It’s like stretching for the brain.
Resources: Exercise your brain with these silly quizzes or with these puzzles or with the suggestions from this article.Then stretch: Read some jokes, or better yet watch the Vintage Jesus videos (read the explanation behind the videos here). Oh, you’ll laugh.

Wealth gained hastily will dwindle,
but whoever gathers little by little will increase it.
