Y’all. I’m an ornery person. I just am. There are moments when I desperately want things…that later I just stand there holding going, “Well, what the fuck am I going to do with this now????” Compliments and Friendship are the two biggest of those things. Compliments….that’s the part most of you will probably understand. WhetherContinue reading “Compliments and Friendships”

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what makes each of us special. I’ll start with the Why. I…could not tell you what makes me special. I can tell you what I feel makes me weird. I can tell you what I feel makes me annoying…too much…not enough…all the other things that I tell myselfContinue reading “You’re Special”

A number of years ago, some online friends and I were playing a game. “What’s a phrase you would use to describe me.” Someone came along and said, “Manic Pixie Dream Girl”. I had no idea what he meant, but for some damn reason I respected his opinion enough to go look it up. And…I.Continue reading “Manic Pixie Dream Girl”

It’s funny. I had part of this blog planned out before I saw that memory from two years ago. Now it’s going to be a mix of all my thoughts. Weird, right? Sheri posting a jumble of thoughts? Whodathunkit? So…a few years ago…I found myself. I didn’t do a lot of peopling…because I tend notContinue reading “Finding My Way Back To Grace”

Y’all. I can’t. This kid of mine. Right now I am sitting in a hotel room waiting to go back to Mayo tomorrow. I should be freaking out…and I’ve had my moments…but, for the most part…this kid has had me cracking the hell up all day. Turning a sassy moment of “Oh well…” at oneContinue reading “How About THIS Attitude?”

Blog Preface: There’s a point to this. I swear. A long time ago…in what feels like another life…my world fell apart. I was 10 years old…and I had just found out…in a wave of blue lights…that I had been kidnapped. My name wasn’t my name. My daddy wasn’t my dad. Nothing was real other thanContinue reading “Listen”

I had to laugh today. For probably the 100th time since this whole heart thing started….I stood up quickly…I got dizzy…I sat down even more quickly…and a coworker asked, “Aren’t you not supposed to do that?”. Yes. You are correct. I am not supposed to do that. Bad, Sheri. Bad. *smacks own hand with ruler*Continue reading “Please Excuse the Mess. Adjustments In Process.”

I’m pondering two statements that I have made in the past couple of days. I don’t add any value. I’m afraid I’m going to lose my friends. Both of these were in regards to taking a step back from the fitness portion of my life. Both are…legitimate fears…while simultaneously…completely asinine. I’m going to address theContinue reading “Nothing to Offer”

This was in my memories this morning at a rather ironic moment in time. I’ve been railing against God’s plan and begging Him to let MY will be done…to let me have the path that I want to follow instead of the one that He has for me. For someone who has so much faith,Continue reading “His Will”

Blog Preface: If you’re wondering why I’m comparing myself to a cell phone, go back one blog. Blog Preface Part Duh: I have the cardiologist’s permission to do these things. Carefully. So no yelling at the cell phone. Today I did my first “long” run for a new half marathon training program. The first timeContinue reading “Holy Shit, I’m a Nokia!!!!”
