10. “Wonderfully Disheveled” This post was prompted by Write on Edge and ending up being about NOT cleaning up after a party. Or at least about how to do it memorably.
9. “Funny Reasons to Break Up With Someone” Just for kicks. Inspired by real life stories. Not all mine.
8. “Quick Post of Jubilation” We lead a very blessed life. Any pain or confusion that is ours is far outweighed by joy and wonder, a condition for which we are eternally grateful.
7. “Double Standards” This was my participation in a Women Living Well link up and had to do with the way our marriage might operate differently from others.
6. “We Had Them for Breakfast” Not about cannibalism. About Couch Surfers. Which I’m sure are delicious. Not that we would know.
5. “Sea Monkeys” Since writing this goofy little post, my book clubbers have graciously anted up very creative names for my herd of sea monkeys. In the coming months I hope to share a Pulitzer worthy series of stories about their antics. The Sea Monkeys, not necessarily the book clubbers. Although that could be interesting.
4. “Car Show Culture” Restoring, collecting, and showing cars is kind of a big deal in our life. Handsome and I are part of a groovy community of people who do the same, and this post introduced some of that. This winter he started on a brand new tear-down-build-up project for his ’68 Camaro, and I can’t wait to share that with you guys.
3. “Our Fave Chocolate Cake” The honest to gosh truth is that this post got tons of traffic because I linked it to a deservedly popular website, one of my personal faves in fact, but beyond that, this recipe does deserve lots of attention. It is DELISH and is fun to make too. Try it sometime! Maybe for Valentine’s Day, when rich chocolate desserts are almost a cultural requirement.
2. “Proverbs 31 Overview and Realization” Yikes. I started a 31 day series on one of the most beautiful chapters in the Bible and got derailed by family events. Then I couldn’t get my thoughts straight. Derailing happens, but this is a project worthy of attempting again. Maybe as part of Lent this year I can share some of this study.
1. “Fractals” I truly enjoyed the thinking through and the writing down of this heavily philosophical post, and I think this is the point where I made some of my most valued bloggy connections too. The ideas discovered around this time have been echoing in my life in the months since. And I am reminded to try and finish The Shack. Eventually.
