Each morning as I get ready, there comes a point in my routine where I have to do a little waiting. You see, the bathroom mirror gets fogged over from the shower and makes it difficult to finish doing my hair or getting ready. The other day as I stood there drying my hair, I… Continue reading Like a Foggy Mirror… {31 Days of Imperfection – Day 12}

Trying to Cover Up Imperfection {31 Days of Imperfection – Day 8}
A few months ago I moved into a new house. Well, I guess I should say it was new to ME but definitely not new. All houses have their quirks, I'm sure, and this 60+ year old house was no exception. As I was cleaning the kitchen preparing to move in, I found myself replacing… Continue reading Trying to Cover Up Imperfection {31 Days of Imperfection – Day 8}
What if? {31 Days of Imperfection – Day 7}
I found myself at the kitchen sink last night, finally giving in and doing the dishes that had been staring at me all night long.

You’re NOT in Control! {31 Days of Imperfection – Day 4/God Sighting Saturday}
I sit at breakfast and can't help but be annoyed. Somehow a faucet that was perfectly fine yesterday now has a consistent... drip. drip. drip. And I think: "Isn't this just how life goes?!?" as I recall other "drips" in life... like computer problems that have plagued the last few months: viruses, programs not working… Continue reading You’re NOT in Control! {31 Days of Imperfection – Day 4/God Sighting Saturday}
Frustrated by Imperfection {31 Days of Imperfection – Day 3}
"I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it… Continue reading Frustrated by Imperfection {31 Days of Imperfection – Day 3}
