When I Grow Up, I want to be Tami Taylor

Let me preface this post by saying that when Oscar first suggested (begged) me to watch Friday Night Lights with him, I proceeded to respond in my usual girly, nose-turned-up way. "Ugh, you want me to watch a show about football? I hate football," I protested. "But it's not just about football!" There couldn't be more truth to that. Sure, it IS about football. It's about a small Texas town who loves them some high school football, because, well, that's about all there is to do there. But it's also about relationships, and what's important in maintaining them, both high school and family relationships.

Some Thoughts on Emotional Wealth: Or, How I “Gave Up” and Said “Yes”

Saying yes to a crazy decision followed by an overwhelming sense of calm. Have you ever done that? The sheer moment at the end of the decision-making process brought you peace, despite whether or not the decision itself was a good one? Last Friday I saw a quote from Seth Godin that said, "If it scares you, it might be a good thing to try." Not having boxes to check scares me. Not having everything planned out meticulously, not knowing what we're having for dinner, not knowing my schedule for the following week. All of these things scare me. And so, with that, Oscar and I have made the following decisions: - Sell our four-door 2009 Fusion and buy a 2005 blue on black Mustang convertible. - Adopt a four year old black female lab that I found at our local animal shelter. I know that …
