  • Happy New Year 2006!!!

    Where has 2005 gone? It seems like this year has positively flown by. So my mother got horribly sick overnight and I had to make the salad she was supposed to take to her party tonight. I had to heat up vinegar, sugar, o…

  • I went to Media Play since they are having a closeout sale and I bought The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes starring (who else?!) Jeremy Brett for $21.00 (40% off the regular price). I like sales. I was extremely excited as…

  • I started writing this yesterday but never got around to finishing it… You know, I find it really sort of depressing when people take down their Christmas lights the day after Christmas. The people across the street …

  • I am messin' with my blog colors again. Bear with me till I find something I want to live with for the next month or so. I hope each and every one of you reading this had a wonderful, blessed, and merry Christmas! Thing…

  • I think it is only appropriate this year to take a moment and fondly remember the truck-driving, telephone repairman / angel who rescued my car (and my sanity) one year ago today from the terrors of an icy, hilly road. T…

  • Terra sent me this today: Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd …

  • So last night was fun (insert sarcastic laughter here). I went to bed early and everything in an effort to actually make it to work on time this week (such a novel concept), and Salty decides she wants to "talk" at thre…

  • My Life aka Stupid Stories part # 2,713,246,549

    So I met Becky # 2 for dinner tonight to exchange Christmas presents. We had dinner at Applebee's then went to check out Media Play since they are going out of business and everything is on sale. Ickily enough within fiv…

  • Yesterday was fun. Dad wanted to go shopping so off we went -- he is hysterically funny to shop with. "Ooohh, let's buy this" and "would your mother want this" and "how would you like this for Christmas" (who am I to arg…

  • I love having days off. Two movie recommendations for today... I watched two really good movies last night: Ladies in Lavender starring Judi Dench & Maggie Smith, and the 1968 version of Mel Brooks's The Producers …

  • "One of my macros must've went haywire."

    EDIT: So I really can't stand Courtney right now. She called tonight to tell me (among other things) that she's supposed to see Chris Botti (you may recall that he is aka Celebrity Husband Option # 1) perform on Friday. …

  • The Weirdness of Me

    I found this quote on the Plugged In website today and thought it was worth sharing: C.S. Lewis "almost certainly did not want his readers to notice the resemblance of the Narnian theology to the Christian story," say…

  • Welcome to the land of Narnia...

    EDIT: Quote from Pastor Johnny's sermon this morning -- "Make much of your blessings, and little of your lack." Edit continued...why does my cat Pepper like to lick and chew on plastic? Does he have some sort of nutriti…

  • Before I post a blog about the brilliance of C.S. Lewis and the marvelousness that is the new movie, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe...here is a sampling of the conversation my Mom and I had on the drive back from …

  • Stinkin' Christmas Tag ;-)

    Quote of the Day: Lee asked me if I'd "ever seen that movie, Saudi of Arabia?" It's one of her favorites. I replied "do you mean Lawrence of Arabia?!!" It took a minute, but then she absolutely rolled. Gotta love my c…

  • I love the part in White Christmas when Danny Kaye & Bing Crosby perform the song "Sisters," and Kaye is beating Crosby with his fan, who proceeds to break character and bust out laughing (too funny!). And I love the…

  • EDIT: Natalie's expounded on her Voldemort dream, and shared some fascinating news on the upcoming Narnia film. And Toby's updated his blog twice (!!!). Shocking. Back tomorrow (Wednesday). ****** Question Of the Day…

  • An exceedingly strange day...

    This day was extremely random, which I feel makes it very blog-worthy. I started out the day getting my hair cut (YAY! -- a very good thing) and visiting with my darling hairstylist Connie (who is just back from work aft…

  • The Lizzy Club (or life according to Pride & Prejudice)

    Tonight Leah & I were discussing just how relevant Pride & Prejudice is to our lives. It is a truly timeless story -- though it was written 200 years ago, Jane Austen's story of love and family and all the joys a…
