  Broken Potties, Birthday Parties, and Fake Elvis

  Posted on September 27, 2010 by Kat French in managing attention, real life

  Yeah, so it’s safe to say this was a pretty eventful weekend. Saturday was the last day of Inlaw Invasion 2010.  My husband’s parents live in Tucson, Arizona.  Every year, they come out and stay anywhere from a few weeks to a few months with us. I love my husband’s folks, but after the 3 [...]

  I Am Evidently Asian, or Quite Possibly Male.

  Posted on September 24, 2010 by Kat French in relationships

  Okay, I ran across this a couple of weeks ago, and I find it sort of fascinating. The Real Stuff White People Like. This is not one of those fifteen umptillion copycat blogs of the original Stuff White People Like (of which, Jon Acuff’s Stuff Christians Like is probably my favorite.)  This is where the [...]

  Posted on September 23, 2010 by Kat French in managing attention, real life

  Do you need a moment to recover from the awesome 80′s cheesiness of that video? Feel free to take a minute before moving on with the post. [ETA: Apparently, cheesy music is the blogging theme for today.] Back with me? Good. I loved that movie back in 1983, when I was a middle school girl [...]

  Whatever You Do, Don’t Join the Resistance.

  Posted on September 22, 2010 by Kat French in managing attention, real life, relationships

  Chris and I have been attempting to complete a training program in gospel counseling through our church, since about February of this year.  The training program requires that we read and complete exercises in the curriculum, and attend once-per-month review sessions. I have missed every monthly review session but one due to work travel.  If [...]

  Date Night, the Impossibility of Marriage, and Doing It Anyway

  Posted on September 15, 2010 by Kat French in managing attention, real life, relationships

  I live in southern Indiana, but I work in Louisville, KY.  I just found out that Louisville is the #1 City in America… for divorce. So apparently, I work in the marital equivalent of Ground Zero.  It probably should be depressing, and at some level it is, but it’s also strangely comforting. It wasn’t just [...]

  Finding Rest for My Soul on Labor Day Weekend.

  Posted on September 7, 2010 by Kat French in managing attention

  We had some incredibly beautiful weather over the weekend here in southern Indiana. Saturday, I visited Indianapolis, courtesy one of my clients. I drove out to Raceway Park for the NHRA MAC Tools U.S. Nationals. I spent the day watching shockingly adept professionals doing their thing, in a job they all clearly loved. When I [...]
