Church. As in the building. Not religion, which is completely different. However, before I go ANY further, a disclaimer: Everything in this post – like in any others I write – is completely my own opinion and experience. I don’t claim to know everything, especially on this topic, but I know what I feel inContinue reading “On breaking up with church…”

#tbt: Tales of a second-grade Laura
Just when you thought the well might be running dry… I found my second grade journals. I had the same teacher in second and third grade so we had the same kind of daily writing prompt thing both years and I’m real glad I kept them all because there are some real gems in there,Continue reading “#tbt: Tales of a second-grade Laura”
A Book on Dating
I’ve tossed around a couple book ideas off and on in the past couple of years, and I really want to write one of essays just about my life because I’m funny and interesting shit occasionally happens to me. The other one is most definitely going to be about dating. I mentioned it in aContinue reading “A Book on Dating”
And people wonder why it’s so hard to find love these days
Seriously, Dad, I warned you. Don’t read this one. Skip it. OK. So. It’s been a while, but you know I’ve gotten on and then off and then on Bumble like 4 times since I last told you about it. Anymore, it’s almost solely for blog content. Other options are funny stories either for myContinue reading “And people wonder why it’s so hard to find love these days”
Get it right, get it tight
So. The running thing? It’s not really happening anymore. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Let’s rewind a little, shall we? A few months ago I’d hit a bit of a rut at the gym. I had gotten to a point where I dreaded going because it was the same old stuff every time. WalkContinue reading “Get it right, get it tight”
Conquering Everest
I have climbed a mountain before. A few of ‘em, in fact. Some Smokies and Pine and some others here and there that were either pretty decent or gave me what I dubbed “Climbing Asthma” before I started going to the gym more often. And then there was Rocky Mountain National Park last year whereContinue reading “Conquering Everest”
Things that make me irrationally angry/annoyed (a list)
I watch a lot of television, as you know, and with that unfortunately comes a lot of commercials. The other day in particular (may have been related to other things but still) I noticed that there is one specific television commercial that drives me absolutely nuts. Spoiler alert, I am not talking about Tony Malito’sContinue reading “Things that make me irrationally angry/annoyed (a list)”
Lost and found
Five years ago this week, I signed up as a volunteer for the Special Olympics Kentucky State Basketball Tournament. Next weekend, I’m going to be watching a team I coach participate in that tournament. Four years ago, I was starting to get more involved with the organization – but hadn’t yet found my place. IContinue reading “Lost and found”
310 seconds. Give or take a few.
Last year, on my 32nd birthday, I decided to start recording a video. More specifically, I’d heard about an app through my cousin, called 1 Second Everyday. The plan was to end it on my 33rd birthday and try and get as much cool stuff in it as possible. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. But then…roadblock. This pastContinue reading “310 seconds. Give or take a few.”
So, winter sucks.
Bears have it right, y’all. They sleep all winter. I could get down with that. Because winter is the shittiest of all seasons. This one’s been pretty bad, too. Gray and gloomy outside almost every day, cold AF (I can no longer afford to have a social life due to increasing costs of my electricContinue reading “So, winter sucks.”
