Sacrilege! I'm only reading the tenth complete book since my birthday. My goal since I started my dilapidated and not recently updated website before my 22nd birthday was to read at least as many books as years per yea…
This year was a gift certificate year - JC Penney, Red Lobster, other restaurants. My mother got me earmuffs, good mascara and pretty pink yummy lip gloss, a puzzle, and six C.S. Lewis books, including The Screwtape Let…
Happy Christmas, everybody! It's the day after the big day/Boxing
Day/Monday, but in my book, Christmas is twelve days long. It's
all symbolic anyway of course, but Christmas lasts until January

Heading over to hang out with my brother - oil change, The O.C., and
probably sampling some Christmas goodies. "Dosed" by RHCP and

I just met my predecessor, the wonderful woman who used to have my job. She's sort of blonde, as I imagined, but she's more vivacious than even I expected. I got an immediate hug, some great advice regarding dealing wi…
Didn't want to wake this morning. Wanted to snuggle warm against husband's back. Kitten on my side, purring like a tornado. I'm loving the comments and incessant discussions from my last post. Energy now invigorates,…
Read pina_la_nina if you want to think a bit about Christmas and humanity and our relationship with the way we understand God. She made my mind go in crazy directions, as she's done since I first started reading her (fa…
As I branch out in my
friendships in "the real world", I realize that an awful lot of people
use drugs recreationally. Marijuana is the most common and the
most easily defended. "It's natural," "it makes you happy/c…
Kitten sleeps and only creeps at night, the creep. In my lap, a nap, curled half-furled. Tufts of fluff and her paw on my paunch, and she makes me smile and breaks my heart. (hope she doesn't fart)
Last night I went SLEDDING for the first time ever! I was
pulling into the driveway, home from work around 4:30 yesterday when a
red Ford Escort comes by and my sister's best friend,
Colleen, sticks her head out the …
I keep a little notebook of favorite quotations. It is grossly out of date. Here are a few of my archives:
"Every reiteration of the idea that nothing matters debases the human spirit." ~ David Mamet, Writing in Rest…
Obselete words need to come back into style. "Petulant" is
one of them. Cranky and bad-tempered, usually describing a child
(which I just spelled "chaild," damn the IPA).
I was talking with my uncle Tuesday night…

Take no offense at my gross interpretation of the vernacular here. It is not intended to be derogatory, and, believe it or not, I have some experience with people who do talk this way. Enjoy, and feel free to comment. …

I thieved (or burgled - I love that from The Hobbit) from the Socrates Cafe ring and just went with the flow. Zeal4Living is where found my stimulus, so see his December 5th blog if you want background.

You Have a Phlegmatic Temperament
Mild mannered and laid back, you take life at a slow pace.
You are very consistent - both in emotions and actions.
You tend to absorb set backs easily. You are cool and …

My response (and stream of consciousness elaboration) to Oscar's December 1st post:
People must be with people against evil [as opposed to against each
other]. This idea is very liberal. I like it. "Turn
