I have another Hungarian word for y'all today because I literally cannot think of anything else for today's letter. This is one of the first two words I ever learned in this language - nem. It's pronounced just as it's spelled, which makes it easy. Unfortunately this isn't the case for the rest of the … Continue reading Nem means No
Macska (much-ka) is a very common word in our house now, at least since October last year. When we were trying to figure out a name for our black kitten, little Miss Luna (whom we thought was a boy at the time) we almost considered just naming her Macska, because it's Hungarian for 'cat'. I … Continue reading Macska
This past week was National Library Week, as some of you may or may not have heard. I know we have settled into this pattern of making everything a 'holiday' with National 'this' Day and such, but I think National Library Week has some importance. Libraries are an important part of our communities after all. To celebrate … Continue reading Library Week
The best way to 'get back' at someone who mistreats you is by showing them kindness. First of all, it frustrates them more if you don't react the way they expect you to. They might be confused and try again in another way, but if you either don't react or show them even more kindness … Continue reading Kill ’em with Kindness
Jellybeans are a nice treat around this time of year. I was recently at my eye doctor and kept grabbing some from the bowl while I was waiting to pay for my exam and new glasses. Then today I went on a search for the bag of all-black jellybeans and picked up some multi-colored ones for … Continue reading Jellybeans
If you could have one superpower, what would it be? Invisibility. Always invisibility. Why? Well, there are times that I'd like to be able to move around undetected (though I usually do anyway because I'm a ninja). Not for anything illegal, mind you, but to avoid certain circumstances or to not be bothered if I'm … Continue reading Invisibility
I've been singing this song since The Lion King came out when I was only three years old. It's probably about time I implement the phrase as my motto. I tend to worry about things more than I should. I know that I need to let go and let God because no amount of worrying … Continue reading Hakuna Matata
The topic of my devotional this morning was about how God is good and He never changes. I am a witness to this many times in my life - so many that I couldn't even list everything He has done for me. Of course, the most important is the salvation I have through Jesus; nothing … Continue reading God is Good
I know, I know... baseball season just started, but you know what? The NFL Draft isn't too far off, so it's a reason to write about football. I'll be honest, football is really the only sport I watch because I think it's the most exciting. I used to watch baseball, but now it seems to … Continue reading Football
Seeings as April is National Poetry Month, and there is in fact a poetry writing workshop going on at work tonight, I feel it's only fitting to write at least one poem as I'm doing this A to Z Challenge. Keep in mind that I'm not much of a poet, but I try my best. … Continue reading Easter (a poem)
Anyone who truly knows me knows that I can be very indecisive - a terrible trait to have. I have a hard time deciding even the simplest of things sometimes - like what to eat for breakfast. If I'm not craving something or have it planned out in my head, it's torture. Or if I'm … Continue reading Decisions, Decisions
Boy, do I have a lot of cousins. I'm just talking about on my mom's side of the family. I've only ever met three of my cousins from my dad's side. To be fair, most of my mom's family still lives in our hometown and she had more siblings than my dad. Thus, more cousins. … Continue reading Cousins
For those not familiar with what Bookstagram is, you can take a guess. Got it? Yep, it's the book lover's Instagram community! This was something I knew of a hashtag to get people to find your posts of bookish photos, but I hadn't really gotten into it until last spring (so almost a year ago). … Continue reading Bookstagram
