I’ve given my heart to some real winners. There was the alcoholic, the guy who stole my money and helped me look for it, and the one with anger issues who sent me an “I can’t stop eating” GIF because I didn’t want to date him anymore and had put on ten pounds that year….

Mrs.Who?
Did anyone else have an identity crisis when they tied the knot? I can no longer identify as “single plump waitress living in friend’s attic with constipated cat”. No wonder I didn’t get much action on E-Harmony. Just kidding. Mostly. The truth is, I spent many years not quite fitting in with the people around…
47 Days
I’ve heard it’s more likely for a woman in her 30’s to be struck by lightning than find a man who’ll want to marry her. Well screw you, old wives tale, because this 30-something is walking down the aisle in 47 days!!! It’s true. After exactly six months of dating, the man of my dreams…
My Love Life and other Ghost Towns
I’ve always found comfort in running. Not physically, obvs, because people that love actual running are straight up crazy. I will never understand. Never. In my laughably terrible dating life, I have historically gravitated towards the…less desirable, shall we say. There has definitely been some “I don’t deserve a good man” garbage taking up space…
New Year, Same Me
Angela, December 31- Up a few pounds because, well, cheese. Wondering when things will finally come together because life hasn’t progressed by standards of the “American Dream”. Also, I live in an attic with my constipated cat and rang in New Years on the couch wearing teddy bear pajamas and commenting on how good people…
40:40 Day 28
Once upon a time I thought I was in love. For once, it was with a man who loved Jesus. Ok, so we weren’t dating. At all. But, everyone thought we would get together at any moment, including me. We hung out ALL the time, mostly in groups but there was some alone time, too. …
10:21 Digital Detox
Life is unfolding all around me and I’m afraid I’m going to miss it. Social media is sucking away minutes and hours of my life I’m supposed to be living! Yesterday I logged out of Facebook on my phone so I couldn’t mindlessly start scrolling, only to realize with horror five minutes later that I’d…
Scared Straight vs.The Notebook
Fear is a poor motivator. Sermons on hell and damnation may lead people to the altar, but I wonder how effective they are in changing a man or woman’s heart, mindset, and life. I was talking to a friend over a Hardywood Sidamo Coffee Stout this past Sunday, and trying to explain why, after a…
Church: It’s Not Just for Jerks
Come as you are. Flawed, broken, hurt, angry, scared, skeptical, addicted. There is a place for you. There is good food, transformational conversation, hugs, laughter, acceptance, support, wisdom, coffee, help, and love. Christian community has rocked my world. I’m not talking a bunch of WASPS in floral dresses and starched collars. I’m talking real people…
I Am Loved
“God never closes a door without opening a time portal to 1996”. ~Somewhere in the Bible (Message Version) Last week I vowed to quit wasting my time flirting with Mr. Wrong. There was one great date, and maybe some long-time-coming kissing, but all in all I knew he was not a godly man, despite the…
