Things are busy in our household right now. Sometimes, too busy. My older son is taking confirmation classes, which means that, headache or no headache, I have to get us to church by 0930 on Sunday mornings from now until the end of May. It’s a cross I’m willing to bear, if it helps bring […]

If some scientist somewhere could come up with a way to alter the stream of time, I would be so very grateful. I have a boatload and a half of projects that need attention, and there’s nowhere near enough time to address them all. Among the pile of things to do… I’m discontinuing my blogs […]

Back in December, I wrote about my talent of getting injured in the most ridiculous ways — while engaged in perfectly innocuous, normally safe activities. Well, the stupid talent has struck again: I fell last night and hurt my left hand badly. I had come home from eating dinner at Las Tortugas Deli Mexicana, and […]

This post is long overdue, because I couldn’t figure out how to write it without sounding like I’m bragging. And I still haven’t really figured it out. So I’m just going to tell it as it comes out of my brain to my fingers, and ask my readers to believe that I’m really and truly […]

It’s been a week since I posted, and it’s been a whirlwind. Really. Work, mostly. Lots of year-end stuff to prepare, and a new year to get things set up for. And since the entire family was sick on Christmas, we had our family celebration today. Very nice. I got a lovely set of cookbooks […]

I’m getting ready to close down my old blog, because I like having my own site, where people can find me without having to pay. If you want to pay, I’m not going to object, and you can just Paypal me (LOL), but I’m tired of the limited readership on the old blog and see […]

I am weird. Everyone who knows me, even on a slight basis, knows this. But my weirdness isn’t just that I dress funny and use words no one else ever heard of, and both read and proofread everything I see. My best talent is getting hurt. Only I never get hurt normally. You know, most […]

This has been a very tough year for my family, economically speaking. The recession really hit us hard, and we had to cut back really hard to make things work. Why, then, I can hear you asking, did you guys take a ten-day vacation to the beach?! Well, the kids and I talked about it. […]

… and their owners. At least the irresponsible and inconsiderate ones. I’ve had a long day at the office with a lot of frustration and insanity. I was at work from 0800 to 1630 (with no lunch, but that’s another story), and then from 1900 to 2315. I’m tired. It’s cold. It’s dark. I’m finally […]

You might think it odd that I learned about honesty while taking a vacation, but it’s a fact. My goals for my vacation were fairly simple: Goof off. Read. Hook a couple of rugs. Swim. Body-surf. Sleep. Walk the beach. Find some good seashells. Build some sandcastles. Eat good seafood. Buy a few souvenirs. Other […]
