After long hours writing articles all day, my brain is fried and the house is a disaster. I took most of the month of June off, working sporadically. Vacation is over. So in the evening when I need to come up with something here, I’m dry. Oh, I have a number of stories in my […]

Help, I’m Melting, and Other Silly Stuff
June 21, 2012
We in the Northeast finally got clobbered with the massive heat wave belching up from the west, the one that all you guys were moaning about earlier this week. Um, yeah. It’s a doozy. Needless to say, I shut off all the computers yesterday, draped heavy fabric over the windows, turned on the air conditioner, […]
I Survived! lol
May 7, 2012
Thanks to all who sent your condolences here and on my other blogs and social networks, about the hack attack I suffered. I am happy to say that (Lord willing) the problem is resolved. My blogs are clean. Because of the nature of my web hosting (shared hosting), all my blogs (13 of them!) were […]
Still Recovering….
April 21, 2012
…. I thought I’d pop in and say HI to everyone, since I have been missing in action lately. I finally finished the income taxes!!! :iquit: Good gravy, I was barely clinging to the sanity can with it all this year. WOW. So my life is sloooowly starting to come back. Everything has kind of […]
The Open Window
April 17, 2012
We had quite the “scorcher” yesterday: hot, humid, hazy. We left the windows open last night lest we dissolve into a sweaty puddle and evaporate into nothingness overnight. April weather is generally very unsettled, so it was no surprise to wake up absolutely freezing the next morning. As I went to close the window, the […]
Oh Dear, What a Slacker
April 6, 2012
The reason I haven’t been blogging much is because I’ve been exhausted! I’ve been working around the house or on the job, and by the time I finish at the end of the day (IF I finish then), I’m too, too tired to be witty and funny and entertaining. *thud* *** I heard my first […]

I’m not quite sure if it was the big trip last week or what, but I have been utterly exhausted. There’s just been too much going on constantly and I really need to slow things down. Installing windows, spring cleaning, kids’ activities, work, etc etc. Hence my prolonged absence here and elsewhere. Zzzzzzzz *** When […]
Daydreaming
March 3, 2012
I have never really felt compelled to write a post a day here but I do start to get a little concerned with myself when I have only written one or two a week. Because I maintain so many other blogs and websites, I’m usually always writing something, just not here. Yet for the past […]
Smith Wigglesworth, Smoking Teeth and Other Things

Comments Off on Smith Wigglesworth, Smoking Teeth and Other Things
Smith Wigglesworth As an ardent admirer of Kathryn Kuhlman, I have heard of Smith Wigglesworth. He was a plumber in Wales, born in 1859. He was an evangelist who did AMAZING miracles of healing. I don’t know what you believe about God still doing miracles- all it takes is one or two times to logically […]

It’s snowing out today. Very pretty snow, with big wet flakes. It’s brought to us by Lake Ontario and those pesky western winds. Hey you pals in Michigan- thanks for the weather. 🙂 I like snowfalls like this. Everything settles down into a cozy peacefulness. And I am stricken with the sudden urge to cook, […]


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.
