On Sunday during church, the bombastic strains of the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel’s Messiah kept running though my head. It’s such a glorious piece, one that makes me want to jump up and down with glee. :frolic: So I downloaded the song as my newest ringtone for my phone and have been having fun whenever […]

Black Friday: Smart Shopping or Dumb Shopping?
November 24, 2011
I had to make a run to Walmart on Thanksgiving morning (sheesh, I always forget SOMETHING) and drove past Best Buy. I thought it was open, seeing the parking lot fill up. But then it hit me: The store isn’t open! These are Black Friday shoppers! Hello, it was 11 IN THE MORNING on Thanksgiving […]

If you have been languishing with Blogger, waiting in the wings for some great deal on self-hosting to come along, I found one for you. Actually, it’s such a good sale that I’m a bit miffed. I am already on Hostgator, so I can’t take advantage of it. 🙁 Anyway, YOU can. I know some […]

Meet Me on Monday #58
November 21, 2011
Gonna be short and sweet today. My eyes are hurting today and staring at a computer screen for even a few minutes is painful. I don’t know what’s going on with my eyes. I woke up and they were all bloodshot and a little crusty. I was up for about an hour, reading but this […]

Comments Off on Holiday Finances
The holidays would be SO much nicer if we weren’t harassed and harried to shop shop shop for seven weeks straight. All this shopping comes at a terrible time of the year, too- the onset of winter when food prices rise and heating costs go through the roof. It’s awful! For folks who may have […]
Time Lapse Video from International Space Station
November 16, 2011
I know I’ve had a lot of videos this week. But WOW this is another stellar one, especially when you enlarge the video to fill the screen. It’s a time lapse video taken by the guys at the International Space Station, from April 2011 to October 2011. I have never wanted to be an astronaut… […]
Go 180
November 15, 2011
This movie (below), the 180movie, will make you think. It’s done by Ray Comfort, who runs Way of the Master. We love his TV show. In the beginning, it has some disturbing images of World War II. It’s stuff we’ve seen in high school, but it’s still disturbing. But it certainly makes the point. And […]


Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I'm a freelance writer for national media outlets like USAToday.com, Salon.com, and others. I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.
