I don’t know if any other cities got this e-mail rumor, but Orlando did. It basically stated that the gas stations across Florida were going to shut down for four days. Of course it was just a hoax, but lots of people believed it. So yesterday across Orlando (I’m not sure about other cities in Florida) there were gas lines and gas stations. This ( Read more... )

Note to self: must make icon that says, "Pat Roberson put a hit out on me and all I got was this lousy media hype"

And now begins the season of birthday parties. Is it just me or does it seem that so many kids are born late August through the end of September? Josie and Josh’s birthdays are Today and Sept. 10. Not to mention they each have been invited to several birthday parties for their school friends. It’s birthday crazy. I have no idea what to do about ( Read more... )

It’s not really the fundraising that bothers me. I completely understand that our ( Read more... )

I signed up for one of those Wilton cake decorating classes the other day. Had my first class last night. WOW! I knew it wouldn't be easy, but I had no idea just how involved it all is! I also wished I hadn’t taken the class....because I now know just what all that lovely delicious frosting most grocery stores use is made out of...the 2 major ( Read more... )

Haven’t wrote much since there really isn’t all that much going on in my life right now. Just hanging out with the kids this summer and doing housework. Nothing really exciting. I’m sure none of ya’ll want to hear me grip about doing laundry or vacuuming the floors.

We did have fun watching the shuttle go up! I thought about going out to the ( Read more... )

Not much going on. Reading Sappho last week at acaciah inspired me to write a bit of my own poetry. And it's been a few months since I've composed poetry. So here goes:

Dear Aphrodite

I’ll sing hosannas to you name

Worship at your shrine

Pour out libations to please your divine self.

Be so kind as to offer him to me

Do not let me burn longer with ( Read more... )
