Well, interlings, let’s just say it has been quite the day. The conference continued today with me participating in a lunch for pastors.  I was under the impression that we’d just be having lunch, so when a man stood up and said “Okay, let’s get the panel part of this afternoon started” I was just a [...]

In the interest of making sure that some weird dude doesn’t show up where I’m at good bloggy common sense, I’ve neglected to mention that tonight was the first night of a five day conference I’m involved with — to speak about Starlite, of course. Over the next four days, I’ll be in a different [...]

Two of the sweetest new additions to the Starlite office — at least in my definitely biased opinion — are my two puppies, Snuggles and Cuddles.  Or, as I like to call them, “no!” and “stop that!” Seriously, I think they’re starting to believe those are their actual names. Those who knew me in my BP (before [...]

I feel like I’ve come back from a long, long trip.  A tiring trip.  A trip in which I visited a foreign country to meet new creatures.  Creatures who raise their hand to say “Miss Amy Beth?  I need to go to the potty.  Weally, weally bad.” Creatures who use glue sticks to mold their [...]

One of the more frequent questions I get asked, especially if I’m speaking somewhere about Starlite, is why I love working with kids so much.  I never really know what to say, because the truth is that even though I run a ministry that serves up delicious processed cheese nine different times a week reaches [...]

This morning, while I was getting ready, I realized that if my mother could see the current state of my bathroom, I would be totally grounded.  To say it is a mess would be quite the understatement; to get to the shower, I actually have to climb small mountains of hot rollers and hairspray bottles. [...]

Some of the girls and I went to see a movie tonight — 27 Dresses.  If you’ve seen the previews, you know that it is about a girl who is a bridesmaid 27 different times.  When her love interest (I’m not sure what else to call him) finally sees her closet full of dresses and [...]

One of my college darlings, Andi, is spending the night with me.  She’s one of my young-lings living in an overcrowded dorm, and since I have a spare room right now, I thought she might need a night away from the 90-something girls she lives with on a daily basis. A few minutes ago, after we [...]

Well, I was — as expected — wrong.  The middle schoolers showed up and devoured that processed nacho cheese like it was manna from heaven.  One of our program directors came into my office after her program to tell me that some of her sixth grade girls were using their fingers to scrape the rest [...]

I don’t even drink coffee. But, before the day is over, I probably will be having it fed to me intravenously. We got the Twinkle invitations done, all 600 of them.  At one point, when I was starting to feel a bit overwhelmed, my ex-boyfriend called for our weekly chat about why our relationship didn’t [...]
