Thank God I’m not and Elephant!

Did you know that the average gestation for an elephant is 2 years!?!?!?... OMG!

Entering meltdown mode in 5…4…3…2… And…

Yeah. That about sums up the extent of the past 24 hours of my life. I am a total WRECK! I know it’s the hormones combined with a large dose of disappointment, but I am just SO ready for this baby to be here. I’m ready to feel normal, to be...

No Surprises, Please?

asekulow — Tue, 02 Oct 2012 12:07:21 +0000

This may sound absurd to some of you, but I REALLY, REALLY don’t like surprises… well, at least surprises that I know are coming. There isn’t much out there that frustrates me more than knowing something is coming my way and then having NO idea when it’s happening or what is going to happen when the time comes. Now, these things are somewhat avoidable in everyday life. I can...

Things I Wish Someone, ANYONE, Had told me.

asekulow — Tue, 25 Sep 2012 22:02:54 +0000

This past weekend I had the opportunity to re-connect with a group of friends from home. Some I had kept in contact with, others I hadn’t laid eyes on in almost 10 years. Moments like those are rare. I’m so glad we took the time to hangout and catch up. Life is dramatically different now for all of us. Most of us are married or in serious relationships now. Several of us even have children on the way. The entire evening was great! During the night, we took out a box of old photos and...

Rain, Rain, Go Away!

asekulow — Wed, 19 Sep 2012 19:19:40 +0000

Blah… RAIN, rain GO AWAY! You make me sad and sleepy and very unproductive. Rainy days have a way of making me feel down. I figure it’s the lack of light and the lack of motivation to get up and go and do. It doesn’t really matter either way, they are just BLEH! Really, the...

Today is September 11, 2012

asekulow — Tue, 11 Sep 2012 22:08:58 +0000

Today is September 11th, the anniversary of the horrific attack that took place in New York City, Washington D.C. and Pennsylvania just 11 years ago. It’s hard to write a blog on a day like today. It hard to stay upbeat when the memories are still so real and the wounds still sting. But that is why we remember. Because nothing can ever...

A Lesson from Star Wars! (Yes, that’s what I said)

asekulow — Fri, 07 Sep 2012 16:09:17 +0000

Confession #1: I have now, for the 2nd time in my life, attended the largest Star Wars Convention in the world. Confession#2: I REALLY liked it... except for one thing... Two plus years ago, my amazingly nerdy husband asked me if I would go with him to Florida for a Star Wars convention. I rolled my eyes about it for weeks, but after realizing how much it meant for him to be able to go, I reluctantly agreed. When I arrived at the convention and experienced the...

The Road to Contentment: Communication is Key

asekulow — Thu, 23 Aug 2012 15:57:40 +0000

One of my New Year Resolutions was to communicate my thankfulness to people more often. I feel like the people in my life do a lot for me on a regular basis, and it can be really easy to overlook their generosity when it becomes commonplace in my life. So far, I’ve done a fair...

The Road to Contentment: Closet Intervention

asekulow — Wed, 15 Aug 2012 23:10:51 +0000

It's two weeks later, and I would say I’ve made real progress, mostly in my closet. Now let me preface by saying that nothing worth having comes easy, this includes a new outlook on your seemingly dwindling...

Do You Have Dreams?…I Know I do! :)

asekulow — Tue, 14 Aug 2012 01:58:22 +0000

If you couldn’t already tell, I’m one of those people who dreams BIG. When I have a plan for the future it’s usually a BIG plan, and when I start working towards the idea of something I’m usually working toward the BIG picture. There is just one BIG problem with that. It usually ends up being one BIG mess!

Over the past 8 years, I’ve been living and working with the...

What Becomes of the Broken Hearted?

asekulow — Thu, 02 Aug 2012 04:40:02 +0000

Speaking as someone who has dealt with their fair share of heartache through the years, I have to wonder, when does a heart become unbroken? There does come a time when wounds don’t sting as much, and the aching feeling only aches when you think about it, but when do we consider ourselves healed? Are we ever really “back to normal” after we experience a heartbreak? Lately, I’ve had...
