It’s Friday! I’m happy today because the sun is shining. Because I read John chapters 14 through 17 and it thrilled my heart. Because I am starting to get better after having a terrible cold all week. And I’m happy because I started a new blog (a resource blog for New York State travel) and new projects always make me happy.
I’m participating in Hilary’s meme this week. Check it out!
1. I don’t understand ___ and probably never will.
Calculus.
2. I prefer ___ to ____
Hymns to contemporary music. My daughter is playing a Celtic hymns instrumental CD right now and it’s lovely.
3. My favorite smell is ______________because ___________________.
Lilacs. Freshly perked coffee. Burnt toast.
Haha, just kidding about the burnt toast. It’s actually one of the worst smells. I’m actually smelling it now…. apparently one of the kids had a scientific experiment go awry….
4. I suspect my neighbors of _________________.
Hoh hoh, this could be a fun fill in. Or a dangerous one! Hmmm shall I play it safe or humorous?
I strongly suspect my neighbors of… stealing my mail. Yep, we’ve had our mail stolen a few times. My husband lost several packages worth $50 or more in goods. And I’ve had checks stolen. We live in a very small town but there are a lot of transients here. They come here because there are a lot of apartments and the rent is cheaper than the city 10 miles away… so drugs and crime have increased. We finally learned our lesson this last time and got a PO box.
I’m off on this lovely Friday. I have a few articles to write and schoolwork to score, and then I’m going to work on some graphics for my new website. I just love new projects! Spring is in the air! Have a happy weekend, friends.
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.

The sun is poking through the clouds here too. After almost a week of rain it’s a great sight. I admire your multiple blogs and wonder how the heck you do it all!!! 🙂

That stinks that you can’t even trust people regarding mail. Thankfully we have an inside sun porch where are packages are put. Our mailbox is also inside the porch with just the mail slot opening on the outside. Luckily no one comes on our porch, well so far!!
Do you have to pay for a PO Box or do they provide it free since Ken works for the Post Office?

When I first read that you liked the smell of burnt toast, I immediately made a grimace face LOL. Its a good thing you cleared that up haha

I love hymns too but I do like some contemporary Christian music but no hard stuff. The heavy stuff makes me nervous for some reason, I actually get anxiety if I hear loud guitar and drums etc. I have to hurry and turn it off. Weird I know.
