Because I'm Nothing If Not Late: Some Recommendations
It appears I managed to wait until the very last minute, or beyond, to send in some recommendations to the IYFG.
Since I have my settings to receive Special Notices only, the last message I received was a reminder to vote for a new mod. So, relying on the faulty calendar in my head, I thought I had another day or two before the nominations begin ( Read more... ) -
Fathers' Day Is Just Not The Same and Book Meme
When I was a kid, we would get up and go to church on Fathers' Day. Quite often, we would go to a park for a picnic lunch where Dad and I would throw a baseball around. (I'm an only child, btw.) Then, Dad would get to relax and read or watch tv while Mom fixed a big, special dinner. There would be a cake. I would give him a card and maybe a ( Read more... ) -
Yet Another Mother's Day Post, Plus Sunday Funnies
I'd like to wish everyone it applies to a very Happy Mother's Day--whether you're a new Mom, an old Mom, a "broken-in" Mom, a Grand-mom, a step-Mom, or "everybody's Mom." You're the care-takers, the encouragers, the supporters, the teachers, and the givers. I salute you all!

I'm a Victim of Sudden Quiet Syndrome
AKA I may have to find a new church to attend. LOL! Ever have one of those moments when all other sound just suddenly stops right as you are making an "aside" to someone and more people hear you than you intended? So, the pastor is hitting us hard with the Sermon on the Mount--in particular, the importance of not being judgmental. He brings it ( Read more... ) -
Ah! Perseverance Pays Off!
The sweet, sweet feel of victory. I am still riding high on my cloud of smugness this morning. Yesterday, I finally ran my prey to ground at the Parent-Teacher Conferences. Long story is long.

Oh, man! I am so excited! Windell Middlebrooks is on The Tonight Show tonight! It's on now! You should watch it!

16 Random Facts or More than Anyone Should be Forced to Read About Me
I've been meaning to put up a new journal entry here for quite some time, but just really didn't have anything I wanted to say. Out loud. In public. That anyone would be interested in. That wouldn't get me lynched. That wouldn't sound like I was just rambling pathetically. So, when I saw a few of my f-listers doing this random facts meme, I ( Read more... )
