I have a strong desire to marry and have children. And I know when the former happens, the latter will, too. But sometimes I get discouraged. It’s ok, though, because I’ve got a plan. And even better than that, I hear a voice talking, “keep walking.” It’s from the One who goes before me through the valley and picks me up out of the pit. Thank you Lord for your mercy, your forgiveness, and for cheering me on.
Hitting the 200k Mark
199,999 views ago Barack Obama was still President of the United States. Gas was only $3.50 a gallon. Casey Anthony was just a girl with two first (guy) names and Pwned wasn’t anything. My, my, my how times have changed! Ok, not really. But anyway, reaching the 200,000 views mark means a lot to me, so thanks for reading! Here are a few highlights from “Out of the Wilderness.” Enjoy!
Some readers found my site by searching for “sweet cross tattoos” or “bret michaels” or “mixing instant breakfast with milk lumps” or my favorite, “michael bolton’s ex wife.” Others were searching for an answer for why their dog rolls on dead animals or what it means when a guy asks a girl to dinner. I’m so proud that my site is diverse enough to cover all those topics… and more! Here are a few links to posts from the past:

First Words
“I find out that everybody talks,
everybody talks, everybody talks.”
When you wake up each day, when do you utter your first words? Who is that you’re talking to? Before I became a dog owner, there were days that my first words were on the elevator at work. When my “hello” sounded more like “hggellaow,” I’d realize that’s the first word I’ve said all morning. What’s the longest you’ve gone without speaking? Just for kicks, I may try to go a whole day without speaking. I’ll call it “vocal rest.”
Record Album Covers: Who Approved These??
Thanks for checking out these embarrassingly awesome record covers.
First up, these folks giving us the sounds of fresh water… in stereo!! What are the guitars for?
Next up, this guy. Bonus! A personal message and an autograph. 
I bet you wish you could have Melanie perform at your birthday party. Darn you, Margie!
Carol Hensel was “fit” before Wii was. 
Headphones at Work
Do you ever have moments you just need to put on headphones and play music louder than the noise going on around you? For me at work, it’s currently:
… on repeat. I like those noise-cancelling headphones, too. I use a pair when I’m mowing the grass. Maybe I should look into finding a pair for work, although in most offices, I think it’s called a “sick day.”
