Well, I just got back from downtown Chicago where I put mom on a train headed back for Louisiana. I was a little worried, I admit, about how that whole scene would play out. I figured the worst case scenario is that we'd both start sobbing right there in front of all those people waiting to get on the train. It's not that I'm such a softie... it ( Read more... ) -

That Charlotte was sure a smart gal -- especially for a spider.
I had a dream about a spider, last night. Maybe that's why this song is in my head:
How very special are we
For just a moment to be
Part of life's eternal rhyme
How very special are we
To have on our family tree
Mother Earth and Father time

I was thinking a lot, recently, about mine and James' trip to Georgia via Ford Taurus. It was such a neat experience. I'd never been to Ohio, Kentucky, or Indiana -- and I got to pee in each one of them!! :-D ( Read more... ) -

I've decided that this is pretty much my favorite Eurhythmics song. The lyrics and the music go together so well and it really speaks so much about human relationships, I think. Someone could write an entire musical or play around this one ( Read more... ) -
things you shouldn't say in a small office space
These things were said this week -- in fact, on the same day.
"No, today isn't my usual day. I'm just here to cut cheese."
then, later....
"Yeah? Let me see your box."
Later that day, when the cheese lady passed by my desk, she accidentally bumped my chair and said "excuse me."
I said, "First you were cutting cheese and now you're bumping into ( Read more... ) -
A sincere invitation
I realized, recently, that while I do have a good number of my SLU friends and others on my LJ friends list, I don't have most of their email addresses. I guess this has been out of oversight more than anything else. But, I do love getting emails and sending emails, so if you'd like, you're welcome to EMAIL me your email address. My email ( Read more... ) -
Pics from August Trip
Back in August, for our 1-year Anniversary, James and I went to the Chicago Botanic Gardens (actually located in Glencoe, IL). We had such a great time and I've been meaning to show some of the pics from the trip. Hope you enjoy... some of them make great wallpaper for your desktop, too!

A vote of confidence for the Amish/Mennonite community
It really irks me how the news media are treating the Pennsylvania school shooting.
The Amish and Mennonites live the way they live because they choose to. They don't ask for our permission and they're not "less fortunate" or "misinformed" about culture. They simply choose to abstain from most of the goings-on outside of their culture. If ( Read more... )
