  • That time of year Not everyone nibbles on matzo candy while coloring their Easter eggs. You have to be in a weird family like mine to do that. I couldn't say which I enjoy more, the Passover rituals or the Easter ones…

  • Spring Break? Today is the first day of my children's spring break from school. Do not think for an instant that it will be any sort of break for me, because it won't. If I wanted to be around my kids all day every d…

  • Seder Last night my family celebrated Passover in the usual way, by having a seder. I must be doing it right, because my children, and even my Catholic husband, look forward to it every year. Parsley dipped in salt wa…

  • Bonsai Kitten If you hate cats, you will enjoy this site. Even if you love cats, but you have a sick sense of humor, you might get a kick out of it. Charlea, I know you are gullible, please do not take this site seri…

  • Takes the cake I was impressed today. I saw a cake in the commissary that was under construction. It was easily 12 feet long, three tiers, and had 3 women with frosting bags decorationg it simulateously in a very patr…

  • In character for me This was a busy weekend for me. Saturday morning, I had to hustle my whole Girl Scout Troop over to Hampton for a special Earth Day celebration (why yes, Earth Day is in April, I don't know why the …

  • Not so charitable Today Was not the type of day I enjoy at Navy Marine Corps Relief Society. I love the feeling that I am really helping a responsible person out of an unexpected and horrible situation. Today, I was d…

  • Discretion is the better part of valor I made some very unwelcome comments on the blog of a teenager the other day. Keep in mind that I don't read that many teenager blogs, because most of them are not writing on a lev…

  • The grass on the other side of the fence smells like manure This weekend, a couple of my neighbors dropped their kids off for a sleepover at my house. It wasn't exactly free babysitting for them, because I didn' take t…

  • Birthday party for 90 Sophia and I just came back from a brithday party for the Girl Scouts. The very first meeting was on March 12, 1912, and tonight we celebrated that anniversary. The venue was an elementary sch…

  • Don't you just want one too? This is probably not what you think of when you think about kissing a blarney stone. It's about the goofiest looking thing I've ever seen offered for cyber-…

  • Corned beef I was just chatting with one of the Girl Scout moms, and she was comenting that her family loves corned beef, but she only buys it in March. I do that too. I don't know why. She says that corned beef is mu…

  • All too convenient Last night I went grocery shopping. I can't believe the number of luxury and convenience foods I buy now compared to when I was a young mother trying to make my then-husband's minimum wage job cover …

  • ...and it's not even my birthday Over the weekend, I apparently got a gift. Not a tanglible gift, unless you consider a graphics file tangible, and not even a unique gift, because there are plenty of people on the inte…

  • My sin confessed I have been very bad. I have not reconciled the bank statement with the check book in 13 months. I used to stay right on top of such things, but I will tell you now why I let this happen. First of al…

  • Lunch date Yesterday afternoon, when my husband came home from work (which also happened to be after I wrote my last blog), he asked me where I had been all day. He said that He had been looking all over for me - at Na…

  • The lines are down The big problem - in fact, the only problem - with my marriage is that Jim and I do not communicate. I suppose we could, but we don't. Ever. Sometimes he tells me things, and sometimes I tell him t…

  • ... doomed to repeat it As may be expected, I have been researching the renaissance period, and the lives of young maidens my daughter's age in particular, and the educational practices. At dinner last night, I shared …

  • Faire game Did you ever take a big mouthful of something that you didn't know what it was? I'm starting to feel that way. I still haven't swallowed, but I have too much pride to spit it out... There will be a renaiss…

  • Blogging at work I'm at Navy/Marine Corps Relief Society right now, where I usually do casework. I have had a couple of cases this morning, but this time of year is usually very slow for us - many people are getting th…
