Text of the page (random words):
pposed to tell this story and i think maybe i m done trying i wouldn t have blamed sam if she d said well now that s certainly the case way to go sunshine i m going to go talk to someone who hasn t jumped off the crazy bridge but she didn t sweet friend that she is she stayed with me as we ate our lukewarm pasta with hundreds of other hopeful writers and helped me stay afloat in multiple conversations when i would abruptly drop out in order to not cry she and todd one of the guys from our critique group both nodded knowingly as i told my story and encouraged me not to give up honestly being so kind that it almost made me cry again because here i am being so lame and needy and everyone is so freaking nice how did i deserve this i finally rallied enough to help her hone her own consultation pitch and continued to tell myself to quit being ridiculous already berating myself usually works well sarcasm intended after lunch they announced the memoir contest winners as the judge preambled sam squeezed my arm and the other sweet people at the table grinned knowingly at me i shook my head as they did so snorting a little bit to myself in my self deprecating wisdom it s not me i thought because i ve already been told multiple times by the experts that i suck third place second place the people at my table are in a frenzy of winks and smiles and shoulder rubs i don t know why they re being so nice it s obviously not me first place dani nichols sam squealed todd said i knew it and i burst into tears i walked up in a daze and collected my prize money shaking the judge s hand clammily i shakily stumbled my way back to our table hid my face in my hands and tried not to sob uncontrollably someone was saying something on the microphone and i have no idea what it was the unbelievably kind woman who won second place came over and gave me a tissue and the lady seated behind me handed me her napkin our table was in an uproar giving me winks and smiles and being so generous with their congratulations then simon tolkien j r r s grandson got up and spoke and it finished off the surreal sense of the day the judge of the memoir contest wants to help me polish my book and publish it the editor who had in a nice way but still shot me down earlier shook my hand and said congratulations my friends did not begrudge me my victory but wholeheartedly rejoiced with me sam s hugs sent me soaring i m so blessed you guys even though i once again foolishly allowed self doubt and crippling despair to grab my soul i got an umpteenth chance to persevere and do it right it seems silly to let another person s opinion crush or validate my dream but it just reminded me of how fragile the creative process is and how jealously i have to guard my hope i m not done i have tons of work to do loads of edits hours of continued doubt and dreams and sweat but i won and for today that s more than enough posted in awkward girl choices creativity faith friendship good day inspiration people watching writing 12 comments jumping into the royal wedding carriage april 29 2011 by wranglerdani didja see what i did there i was sitting here this morning checking things off of my to do list and writing away like the studious little chickadee i am and thought to myself i should make this more fun with some pomp and circumstance and british accents so i turned on my teevee and instead of the drooling press i was expecting i was greeted with a very sweet truthful and surprisingly faith based ceremony i ve been reading a few other bloggers who were bashing the wedding fever here in the states as pure flighty escapism but i think it means something much deeper sure americans are goofy airheads when it comes to this stuff and yes we value royalty and celebrity in unhealthy ways but i don t really care about that and i m certainly not going to bash someone for wanting to watch a wedding yay in westminster abbey double yay i think that we are watching this by the millions because as much as we want to relegate this spectacle to the crazies wearing giant british flags on their heads this really does matter there s an old saying that goes babies are god s way of saying the world must go on and i think new marriages evoke the same feeling in us even amongst the most cynical marriage is about believing the best in each other about trusting in the good of a loving god and a loving spouse and about celebrating selflessness a trait that is all too often mocked the archbishop of canterbury who awesomely has his own website and made the amazing youtube video below said that marriage is the best picture of god s love for us a statement which is humbling and overwhelming all at once so as much as it would be easy to snark about our obsession with william and kate i m resisting the temptation today i m rejoicing that god s love was on display that so many are rejoicing the power of marriage and that love can actually overcome almost any prejudice god bless william and kate posted in church current events faith inspiration love observations weddings leave a comment let s get shopping mother s day gift guide april 26 2011 by wranglerdani hello friends i haven t shopped in a while and i ve been feeling weak pale and much more apt to leap upon email newsletter sales than normal which means i need to do a bit of preemptive control of myself and my trusty credit card hence a shopping post applause in my opinion mother s day is on the same level as valentine s day a made up reason to tell somebody you love that you do actually love them especially if you don t say it enough mom s day gifts however are kind of fun because they re not particularly expected but are fun to shop for and always appreciated by our hard working moms plus a bunch of my friends have become moms recently so this post is the perfect hint to your fella don t worry about getting up for the baby just buy me this seriously that s a link to something beautiful hint hint we have a lot of goodies to get to today because moms are way too easy to shop for and this is partly a list of all the things i want too and i just appreciate them so much so let s get shopping i love shopping for my mom because we both seriously love to cook and buying kitchen gadgets is almost as fun as using them this little beauty from sur la table would absolutely stop my herb chopping world it s a knife and it s flexible like a cooking gymnast also it s only 17 95 and it s so pretty speaking of cooking check these bad boys out from vesselsandwares on etsy this might be the prettiest and most practical 98 you ever spend look at my gorgeous serving bowl oh and he has two brothers that i m making pancakes and scrambled eggs in yes i am that classy what s that you say your mom is more the wine and cocktail party type rather than the whipping up breakfast type i can totally empathize with that which is why we re having breakfast for dinner tonight also you should buy her this from pottery barn i love this i m fairly certain that any of the talented men in my life adam my dad and my brother could replicate this and i m also fairly certain that the ladies in your lives would be ever so grateful if you did it wouldn t even have to be mother s day just any ol time if you want to whip this puppy up if you just want to go with a bottle instead of a bin though you should use these tags because they are awesome my mom and i have different styles but one thing that we are very alike about worst grammatically terrible descriptor ever is a we love anything vintage particularly anything kitchen related and b we kill plants by the dozens so i think the above gift from plantology on etsy would be perfect already started plants in cute containers if we do manage to kill it at least we can try again next year with the vintage coffee can and another budding victim right chicha from the emperor s new groove chicha so what did the emperor want pacha clears throat oh you know what he couldn t see me chicha angrily couldn t see you why not pacha i don t know chicha well well that s just rude pacha well he is the emperor i m sure he s busy chicha no no no no no no emperor or no emperor it s called common courtesy pacha honey chicha if that were me i d march right back there and demand to see him and you know i would pacha sweetie sweetie think of the baby chicha pacha i m fine this baby s not coming out for while but even if it was i d give that guy a piece of my mind that kind of behavior just just snorts in anger i gotta go wash something this rabbit trail is brought to you by my kinship with chicha she totally should be considered a disney princess by the way and my assertion that froofy cleaning supplies are always a welcome present especially when they smell as good as this stuff every time i m mad i clean the house please no comments about calm and happy i must be feeling lately and good smells always help assuage my tousled spirits but i think we need to move on to fashion because we all have some young and fashionable moms who can rock stuff from etsy you know stuff like this i kind of can t get over how much i love this necklace honestly from justexpressive on etsy also these are fabulous they remind me of costa rica so pretty from bellabeachjewelry on etsy i m kind of in a beachy mood and i stumbled upon these sandals the other day and thought this is what i ve always longed for then i realized how full of hyperbole my brain is but seriously these are really amazing the perfect blend of trend and class from j jill finally we are at our last two offerings this is a sad moment for me because i love shopping you probably quit reading several dumb jokes ago anyways our last two are both bags one for toting everything and one for toting camera gear both are adorbs the one for everything that s all folks hug a mom today posted in family holidays men women shopping 2 comments i made a website april 26 2011 by wranglerdani and i need you all to tell me what you think sorry for the shameless self promotion lately but this is my baby honestly so much sweat was involved you have no idea ok maybe not sweat just concentration i ll stop now sorry clickity click posted in awkward girl choices creativity inspiration writing 1 comment some people follow their dreams others hunt them down and beat them mercilessly into submission april 22 2011 by wranglerdani when i was around 11 or 12 years old in my childhood living room my dad taught my brother and i how to protect our faces and deliver a hefty punch in case we ever got into a fight this knowledge was only to be used against meanies of course which it has if you must know later in college i had a punching bag in my room that i frequently used to assuage my frustrated feelings and rattle the hallways of our poor old house i ve never been afraid of a fight even though i consider myself a dreamy artsy type hence why the title quote made me smile this week i ve been thinking about dreaming lately and the fight that it takes to turn a dream into a plan it s said that planners marry dreamers which is definitely true in my life i m the spontaneous and overly casual dreamer i don t measure when i cook and keeping track of my keys is my biggest daily challenge adam the planner makes a carefully printed out and detailed spreadsheet for work outs vacations and big life decisions while i tend to only worry about such silly details 10 minutes before we re about to embark upon said adventure at which point i realize that i maybe should have thought this through being with adam reminds me that i m not a planner honestly i m in awe of someone who is so rarely rattled so if i m honest about my own short comings i m completely shocked that my business is thriving i very nearly break out in stress related hives every tax season i have done my fair share of blowing by opportunities and i often make dumb choices basically i m me and i never realized that i could actually be good at things i ve always expected much more from myself and when i didn t deliver i would assume that was just how it was punching something in my mind only helped me feel better little did i know that very fight in my heart and that mere strong willed determination might be enough to overcome my failures i know now that a bit of grit goes a long way and a good pummeling only makes me stronger a few tough brawls have taught me that although i m rejoicing in my momentary success hard times are just around the corner that s what boxing lessons with my dad taught me anyway and it hasn t been disproven yet don t ever turn around on your adversary don t ever assume you re safe fight until you know you ve won as much as i ve wanted to give up sometimes i m glad i ve learned the art of hunting down my dreams and giving them a stern beating i have a new personal goal to achieve and it will take a lot of clobbering to overcome luckily for me i have a deadly right hook posted in faith family good question memories ruminations writing 1 comment right now april 18 2011 by wranglerdani i m forcing myself to talk about my right now since lately it s felt like a terrifying blend of too big too scary too much and too boring all at once i m sorry for the vaguery but the stuff that is all over my brain is not fit for public consumption you really are glad that i have some self control and am not vomiting my stuff all over the internet trust me right now i m defrosting chicken breasts and planning an evening hike with my hubby i m reeling from compliments at this morning s writer s group and praying for courage to pursue an unpopular road i m craving chocolate and drinking diet coke hoping for sunshine and noting the misty gray skies still lingering wishing that i had an answer to questions that are pounding at my door seeping through the cracks in my walls tugging on my shirt tails and whispering in my ear i m learning to be gracious and generous i m learning to listen to my husband and let him lead i m learning to say thank you when someone says nice things about me and my work to brush it off when they don t agree or get offended i m learning to not worry about tomorrow to be grateful in the moment to fix my eyes on the author and finisher right now is a hard time right now is an in between time right now is a beautiful time posted in a room of one s own faith good day writing 2 comments to mrs dani april 12 2011 by wranglerdani every time i get a note to mrs dani or a cute little flower
