A Call for Prayers

This is Small One.
We very nearly lost him a few Christmases ago due to a kidney infection that caused partial organ failure.
He’s sick again.
He’s not AS sick as he was last time - I think we may have caught it earlier - but I can tell he’s not well. He was vomiting earlier, and [...]

Farewell, Fair Lady

I feel the need to recognize the passing of Coretta Scott King, yet I find I am quite without sufficient expression.

Wouldja Just LOOK at THAT!!

Isn’t that GORGEOUS!?
We finished putting up the wall cabinets last night. Isn’t it fabulous? Husband wants to take the corner cabinet off again and do something to the wall so that it sits more evenly, but the big point is that they’re all put together, they’re all up, and they all FIT!
YIPPEEE!
We have [...]

I’m sitting in an office, having an interview. We’re talking about the nuts and bolts of the job, my philosophy on this or that, then the interviewer turns to me and says “So, is this a change of career for you?”
Sorry, WHAT!?
Then it occurs to me - the people this [...]

Go here and hit “play”. Her album, Eye to the Telescope, is being released in the US on Febuary 7th. I know I’LL be visiting [...]

I’m Beginning to Think it’s ME!

Okay, now. Enough is enough!

Today is the second day in a row that I’ve learned that something I use is being DISCONTINUED. Yesterday, it was the chantico at Starbucks. Today, it’s my contact lens disinfecting solution
I am cursed. My perfume is no longer being produced. My favorite variety [...]

That Guy’s a Goner

This is one of my (many) favorites. You may have to click on it to get the full effect.

Yet again, it’s snowing here in New England. Luckily, though, the girls are in school. Not that I would mind having them home - snow days are fun around here and usually involve popcorn, [...]
