Vanilla wrote an interesting blog post this morning, entitled, “I Have Never.” It included a list of popular things of our culture that he has never done. It got me thinking, and I thought it would make a nice meme for a Friday. Here’s my own list of things that I have never done: I […]

Everything Is Running in Slo-Mo This Week
August 30, 2012
CANNOT believe it’s Thursday. Oh my gosh. What on earth have I been doing this week?! ** The daughter and I have been making drapes for the living room windows. I am so out of practice, it’s sad. I can’t seem to sew in a straight line anymore. :-p But the curtains will eventually look […]
Hurryhurryhurry Monday
August 27, 2012
The job has me exhausted lately, with little time or motivation to write on the blogs. The backlog of “necessary” posts is rising while my energy levels are sinking. I’ve been working extra while it’s been plentiful, and another employer decided to test everyone with some very difficult writing pieces, while at the same time […]
Sometimes I Miss Country Living
August 22, 2012

It’s a Good Time
August 17, 2012
I’ve heard it said that southerners think we northeners are like ants. We scurry about, hurryhurryhurry, to get things done — such silly northerners, why don’t you slow down and enjoy things for a while? Well… here in the northeastern states, our “growing and doing season” is terribly brief. We really only have 4 to […]
How Do You Say MIND-BLOWING in Scottish?
August 15, 2012
Just discovered this band. The music makes my DNA dance, I tell ye. The drummer is a show unto himself, no? :teddy: My favorite song of theirs is “Alexander’s Welcome.” I have never heard such amazing piping, ever. WOW.
Monday Quiz About Meme - Weekend Willies
August 13, 2012
NO! That’s what I thought when I saw my blog’s home page. NO! I haven’t posted here since Wednesday?!?!!??!? What happened? The days flew, flew by! I thought for sure I’d posted Friday and Saturday. Oh wait. I remembered that we’d gone to a late-night concert Thursday. We saw Robin Mark, a Christian musician 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.
