My Own Thoughts

I was looking over one of these wish lists on a site and found the blogger had items from $15, reasonable, to $1650, a bit pricey for the average Christmas shopper. Since I decided that meant I could put anything I wanted on a list, regardless of how likely I was to get it: Walther [...]

First, we’ve decided to have a party. Since we haven’t had one in three years that is a big deal. It’s going to be a costume party. My husband wants it to be themed, but I think it’s already “themed” by being a costume party. We figure we’ll invite everyone we know and their spouses, [...]

My hubby didn’t like the title on my last blog entry. He said it wasn’t what the article was about. Well, really, the article was about what I am doing in my life this weekend. I called it work because it is things I need to do, should do, will do, have to do. While [...]

We are getting involved in a small group Bible study. It’s at B and R’s house. They have three little kids, K, 3, and 7 months. R really wanted to get to know them. We invited them over, but they couldn’t come. However, they invited us back two nights later, so we have actually been [...]

My friend died today. She’s been sleeping for over two weeks without waking up. I’ve prayed for her not to be in pain. She wasn’t. Now she’s gone. I know that she is in a better place. I prayed that God would take her home. But I miss her. When I was 16 I talked [...]

My high school students had to write a short (5 paragraph) paper and include three citations. I have been surfing the net all morning looking for the correct citations for the things they put in their papers. I’m sick of the whole thing. First, the papers are poorly written. There was a specific style request [...]

Since Friday was a day off without the kids, I felt like it was a Saturday. R was home with me and we had a lot of fun, going out, eating, shopping, watching movies. So today feels like an extra day on the weekend and I didn’t quite know what to do with it. I [...]

Psalm 311,764 Lord, protect me from those who would hurt me, The lies of con-ers, the tricks of thieves. Protect me from the wicked, the evil, the hideous, Those who would do things, make them leave. Push them back away from me. Stop those, the wicked, the sinners, from hurting. Let them not cause pain, [...]

I realize it is only November 8 (Happy Bday J!). But my family usually has Christmas at Tday and at Christmas. We have it with one family on one holiday and one on another. We switch families every year. So I have less than three weeks to finish half my Christmas shopping. But I know [...]

I didn’t think this would be so long and difficult a move. After all, I didn’t have to do anything except say “yes” and “no” and give my hubby ideas on how to set up my site the way I wanted it. It’s been hard. And long. And I’m not done, but I am up [...]

I have gained 11 pounds in the last eight months. Before that I was on Body for Life consistently. Today I am hungry, but nothing sounds good. I don’t want to eat if I am really not hungry, so I am skipping lunch. I know that’s not a good idea because I may get ravenous [...]

I’ve left Blog City because it was too slow and too often down. I will miss the community that didn’t quite develop there, but started to form. I wonder how many people will read my new blog now that I am not on the old site. I don’t know how you get a blog “out [...]

A creature stood about that hill, some may say it did quite nill. It sat, a sleepy look in its eyes, half-asleep like its silent eyes. It stood, looking about the place, Maybe thinking about some great face. A matchlike face, scaled and weary, almost, barely something eerie. It’s catlike eyes barely blinking, maybe lost [...]

My mom's church has their church parking lot full of cars decorated for Halloween. Then the kids come in costumes and get candy from the different people hanging out at their cars. My mom, who loves to eat candy, has decided it's not good to hand out candy. So last year and this year we [...]
