Dear God,

I am blown away by your creation. By sunsets, children’s laughter and peonies. Everything you have made is glorious and has a purpose. But I don’t understand ants. I think they are fascinating creatures, carrying so much more than their body weight, etc. but what do they do exactly? They are everywhere. In my kitchen, in my bathroom, across my floor and walls, even in my couch and on my desk at work. I’m sure they are busy doing something useful, I just wish it was not in my space…constantly. Of all the creatures that are going extinct, don’t you think you could take out the ants? I would way rather have a bald eagle swooping over my house than having to vacuum up/bomb/spray this tiny black pest. Just give it a thought.

Thanks!

Sincerely, Rena

A while back my husband left me some lyrics to a song written and taped to our bathroom mirror. Jesse had heard it on the radio, liked the song & lyrics and wrote them down really quickly not knowing the band that performed them. They were really sweet words, almost poetic, but they also sounded super familiar to me. So I typed them into trusty Google and realized that they were the lyrics to a One Direction song. Now my husband isn’t incredibly snobby about his music preferences and enjoys a lot of different types, but boy bands can not be found on his playlists. So, to add to his radio shame, this past week he was listening to the radio again and heard another song he liked, only to find out it was…Katy Perry. Ha! I might never let that one go.

I have a problem. I CANNOT watch a movie without crying. And it doesn’t matter what kind of movie: drama, comedy, romance or kids film, I lose it. In fact, a couple weeks ago, we took our sons to see “Despicable Me 2” and I was bawling at the end. And before you ask if I’m pregnant, the answer is no. Unfortunately I can’t blame this on hormones. Nope, just total lack of emotional control. Ugh.
