Apparently I took the summer off.
It was not an intended vacation… and several times I came and stared at the screen thinking of things to write – but alas, nothing came out. There are tons of pictures – but none of them got posted. Lots of silly, crafty, happy & sad things happened (like summer [...]

It’s been a while… I’m busy… but this Super-Katie sighting simply had to be highlighted!
Press On.

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered.
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies.
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you.
Be honest and sincere anyway.
What you spend years creating, others could [...]

Sometimes the irony just makes me roll with laughter…
Peace. Be still.
I spent yesterday listening to my exit letter cd (hurry up and get your copy, there are only about 1800 left in the shed!)… it’s darn fine. I write good stuff. I should get back to work on that front.
Oh yeah, Happy Girl Scout [...]

So quickly the year has passed and it’s already time for another “Heather with ashes on her forehead” picture.
Every year at Lent I try really hard to think of what I should fast from. Traditionally, folks do meat… or some other foodie thing they should consume less of. Since I’m already a vegetarian, and started [...]

I just spent about an hour re-reading old posts from a long forgotten blog. I’d gone looking for some long-lost poem I’d written for jme… I wanted to find it and re-gift it to him for Valentines Day.
Reading the stories of my life over the past 5 years was rather cathartic. Loads of drama. A [...]

The past few months have been a whirlwind ’round these parts. Due to the digi-cam being killed by my cat from hell, there haven’t been pictures… I did dig out the 35mm camera (a rather nice one, at that) and dust it off. Hopefully I’ll get those pic developed before the kids graduate from college!
This [...]

In an effort to keep my mind from wandering to the current stress of life, I’m crocheting an afgan.
I’ve found that the movement it kind of like saying a rosary - the methodical motion calms my nerves and centers me. I need a lot of that these days.
Since I figured that I make enough weird [...]

Emily tagged me… so I’ll oblige, but I won’t tag anyone else. I will however challenge your readers to do your own and post a comment here if you do!
1. What did you do 10 years ago?
In July of 1998 I was in Birobidzhan, Far East Russia as a missionary. While there I [...]
Moving things around

If you’ve been in my house more then once you will notice something.
I have a problem. Now, some may find it rather serious, but those who really love me just roll their eyes and go along with it.
I move furniture.
Now, maybe that doesn’t seem like much… but you see, I don’t keep things in the [...]
