I can’t believe I’m telling you this. Especially the last part.
Katie and I decided to go out for dinner tonight. We wanted to go somewhere really fancy, so we headed to the restaurant also known as Best Diet Coke On The Planet:
Since it was such a fancy place, Katie fixed her hair all pretty-like. I mean, a side ponytail is fancy, right?
I did [...]

On the bright side, I will be wearing flip flops to the office most days this summer.
Today is the last day of this semester’s programs. We ended Twinkle on Monday, Glow on Tuesday and Sparkle will finish up today. Nine of our ten programs will be on hiatus for the summer; our dessert Bible study for our high school juniors and seniors (we call it Glow At Nite) will continue through [...]

This one’s for you, mom.
After I posted my list of 100 things about me a few weeks ago, I had a few comments from people about the fact that I admitted that I like to do laundry. My laundry, my roommate’s laundry, even my ex-boyfriend’s laundry — I like it all.
Side note: yesterday was my ex’s birthday. [...]

I apologize for what you’re about to see.
After last night’s serious post, I figured we’d mix things up a bit on this Well Said Wednesday. I shot the following video while driving to the Starlite office this past Saturday morning to meet up with our team to head out of town. In the video, I discuss why I’m 24 [...]

Please excuse me while I go scrub some floors with my toothbrush.
Today was the last day of classes at our university (I’m not a student anymore, but I still think of myself as one). Katie’s had a pretty tough semester of classes, so I thought we’d celebrate tonight. I stopped by the grocery store on my way home and picked out some things to [...]

I take back everything I said under my breath while picking up those 500 foam beads yesterday.
Guess what I found hanging in my office this afternoon?
Some of the girls at one of our schools made it for me. It is purposely blurry to block out names, but the general message from all of the girls is “Thank you for starting Twinkle. And thank you for the crafts. And [...]

I have met the enemy and his name is Foam Beads.
Yesterday was the last day of our Twinkle programs for this semester. Even though public schools aren’t out for another month, our volunteers are in finals week and packing to leave early next week. There’s no way we can run 10 programs without our college volunteers, especially since many of our programs run simultaneously. The [...]

Is it any surprise that this is what I chose to give away?
After I spoke at a women’s event a few months ago, one of the attendees (who owns a salon) sent a box of brand new hair and nail products to our office as a surprise for me. I would love to tell you just how excited I got over the box ‘o products, but I [...]

I’ve got to make this quick because I have a hot date. With my bed.
You’ll have to forgive me if I don’t totally make sense in this post. This could be for one of the following reasons:
A. I can’t think straight after having spent the weekend saying “Go. To. BED.” about a trizillion times. And the high school girls were hard to get to sleep, too.
B. I [...]
