This holiday season I find myself looking back over 2015. I had so many great plans to get in shape, get out of debt, and get working on my book. Sometimes progress is so slow it seems like you’re moving backwards. I did lose ten pounds but then someone decided to take me on vacation…
Jack-Hole, Party of One
A handsome man gave me his phone number last night. Actually, he wrote it on my arm and added a smiley face underneath. I feel sorry for his wife. Seriously. I find myself losing hope in ever finding a good, honest, faithful man because of people like this. I tried not to make a big…
Lost Cats, Car-Jackers, and Angels from Michigan
Two weeks ago my little cat was curled up next to me in bed. I was depressed because AshCap had moved to Tanzania. I looked down at Sebastian and said, “Well, at least I still have you.” Famous last words. That mofo disappeared a week later and I haven’t seen him since last Tuesday. So,…
Icing On The Cake
I could make some man very happy one day. I love God. I clean. I bake bagels from scratch. I’m passionate and affectionate and I can find the humor in almost anything. I am strong and supportive and protective of my people. I love bourbon and a good cigar. So, yeah. I could be an…
Meet Franbo
Growing up I had a nickname for my mother. It was Franbo. Franbo came from a long line of Jewish Kickboxers, and she loved to clean house. Literally. My mom would tie a handkerchief over her hair, and if you didn’t hop-to washing walls, you’d be in for it. This is a picture I drew…
21 Jump-Start
So, I’m writing a book. Slowly. The whole inspiration/perspiration saying is proving true. The ideas are plenty, but getting them organized and translating them into something useful is frustrating. Yesterday I got to work a little bit early. I sat in my car with my journal and wrote the following Mission Statement in an attempt…
Forgiveness
Sometimes the stars align just right and you find yourself face to face with That Person. The one you’ve told off several thousand times in your head. The one whose name makes your blood pressure rise. The one who hurt you and seems to be sailing through life with no remorse and no consequences. There…
Christians and Co-existence?
You’ve probably seen the navy blue bumper stickers with the word “Co-exist” on them. They work little symbols for Judaism, Islam, and Christianity into the word with a cross for the “t”, a star of David for the “o” and the crescent moon for the “c”. But what does co-exist mean? According to our old…
Christians and Margaritas
I love a good drink. Bahama Mamas, French Martinis, Bourbon and Coconut Water (try it!), ice cold Bold Rock cider, Aldi’s finest Pinot Grigio (2.89. Seriously.), Sangria, Vodka Lemonade..you get the idea. I enjoy relaxing with a glass of something delicious, either with friends or by myself. “But Angela,” you ask, ” Aren’t you a…
Christians and Dating: 8 Questions To Ask Yourself
Back in the day, to get a man all you needed was a camel and your virginity. Your dad and his dad exchange livestock and hold each other’s sandals. Bada Bing, Bada Boom. You’re married. These days, it’s a little more complicated. First, you have to find someone who doesn’t make you throw up when…
