Disconnected Day

Posted on July 8, 2012 by Crystal in MUDDies | Leave a comment

It’s been a strange day. One of those days where everything feels, disconnected. It’s where you look at someone and say nothing, think nothing. Walk into a room and just stand there. Disconnected and I really don’t know how else to describe it. It’s as if I’m having some weird outer body experience. My grandmother used to call it being in a “funk” and I guess she could be right. But I always thought of a funk as a week-long (or more) stretch of just being out of sorts. A friend refers to these days as having “brain fog.” I feel like this is something a bit more. It’s brain fog meets not seeing anything in front of you even Read more

The Drink That Will Bring You Back to Life

Posted on July 7, 2012 by Crystal in Cadenisms | Leave a comment

My 12-year-old son, Caden, has a lot to say. And often, what he says is truly comical. I’ve been sharing his funny outtakes, quotes and sayings on Facebook for years and thought I would capture them here, too, with an entire category devoted to him: Cadenisms!

A recipe I found online today reminded me a something Caden said at Christmas time this past year. After taking a sip of egg nog he cheered:

“Yum! This egg nog is good. It tastes like that Reincarnation Breakfast mix!” 🙂

Forget Gatorade. Caden has the drink that will bring you back to life.

Salted Coffee

Posted on July 6, 2012 by Crystal in MUDDies | Leave a comment

It’s a well-known fact that I cannot think or function until I’ve had my first cup of coffee in the morning. Call it “all in my head” if you will, but I speak some unknown language and walk with a stagger until I have a small amount of caffeine pumping through my veins – which is why I was so upset this morning when upon taking my first sip of beautiful java I realized I had reached for the salt instead of the sugar. Ewwwwww!

Fellow coffee addicts, enjoy the eCard!

What is a mother?

Posted on July 5, 2012 by Crystal in Motherhood | 2 Comments

Although I am well-connected online and manage a number of industry-specific groups, I have made it a point to keep my Facebook network small – reserved for true friends, family and close colleagues. In this group, there are stay-at-home-moms, doctors, lawyers, retirees, writers and so on – just a truly great circle of human beings. So the other day, I reached out to them and asked, “What is a mother?” Their individual responses warmed my heart. Here are some of their replies: Read more

Pontilicious Moment: The New Keurig

Posted on July 3, 2012 by Crystal in Pontilicious Moments | Leave a comment

Did I mention my husband is 15 years younger than I am? Yes, indeed. He’s in great shape and definitely a looker, which has earned him the nickname (given by me) Pontilicious (Ponti being our last name and the rest is self-explanatory). Pontilicious happens to have an outgoing, quirky sense of humor, which was no exception this morning even after another sleepless night. Read more

Cancer of the Asparagus

Posted on July 1, 2012 by Crystal in Cadenisms | 2 Comments

My 12-year-old son, Caden, has a lot to say. And often, what he says is truly comical. I’ve been sharing his funny outtakes, quotes and sayings on Facebook for years and thought I would capture them here, too, with an entire category devoted to him: Cadenisms!

The other day my husband and I had a conversation about my close friend losing her uncle to cancer. Naturally, he asked what type of cancer he died from, to which I explained it was esophageal cancer or “cancer of the esophagus” (my exact words). Throughout the duration of the conversation, Caden was standing off to the side with a bewildered look on his face. Read more
