When I was recently given the chance to attend Fan Expo Dallas as a member of the press, I had a little bit of hope that I’d get to meet some of my favorite actors from Doctor Who or Person of Interest. While that didn’t happen, I still had a great time at the event, and had the chance to attend some very fun and informative panels with Peter Capaldi, Jenna Coleman, Michelle Gomez, and Arthur Darville from Doctor Who, Amy Acker from Person of Interest, Hayley Atwell from Agent Carter, and Kevin Conroy from Batman animated works.

441- When a Weakness is Really a Strength

I met my husband, Derek, in 2009 when I moved in right next door to him. At the time, he drove a 1970s yellow VW pop top bus. He often pulled his coffee table outside in his front yard to have drinks with friends, and he always mowed his lawn wearing rain boots. Because these were the only things I knew about him, I figured he was a bit of a hippy, and I was cool with that. But as we started dating, and especially after we got married, I discovered that he wasn’t as carefree as I initially had him pegged for being. In fact, he was kind of a worrier, and I turned out to be the more carefree, risk taker in the relationship. Read More…

Times are changing. Our original plan was to get our kids a cell phone when they started driving. We thought that before then, it would be a waste to get them a phone. I think I also thought back to when I was a kid. I would ride my bike around the dirt roads for miles around our house and it was no big deal. My parents didn’t always know where I was and that was never a problem.
Is that true? I’m sure that’s not the case. I’m sure there were plenty of times when my parents would have liked to be able to call me or my brothers up and find out where we were, tell us to get home for dinner, or just make sure we were okay. Of course, cell phones weren’t a viable option in those days. Read More…
