DAVID COOK FROM KANSAS CITY WINS AMERICAN IDOL!
He deserved it and I'm proud for him and his family! Kansas City is proud, too! I must add that the ZZ Top song he did with the real bad was awesome... Now it's time for me to go to bed, LOL

WHICH DAVID WILL WIN?
I confess, I don't watch American Idol, except that this year, I've watched it a few times, because Mr. Ariala works with David Cook's mom...I hear we're down to two finalists, and Cook is from Blue Springs, Missouri. I was in Blue Springs a few weeks ago when I wrote about Burr Oak Park, a...

WHEN THE WORLD IS STILL SLEEPING
Since I've somehow become a morning person, waking earlier than most, I try to make the best of it. I admit, I try to get some of my blogs out of the way first thing. On the weekends I have more time. This morning, after I did a little blogging, I sat on my front porch bench and drank my frap while...

WHAT'S WORSE THAN A TUMMY ACHE? ONE WHERE THE TUMMY HAS YOUR TWIN IN IT
Mr. Ariala warned me that the little newspaper clipping he laid on my desk would both fascinate me and gross me out. He wasn't kidding. It was a newspaper article about a little 9 year old girl who went to the hospital with a really bad stomach ache. As it turns out, during the operation, they...

YOU KNOW IT'S BAD WHEN THEY ALL SHOW UP IN YOUR CAR
So yesterday when I got home from work, I happened to look down on the passenger seat and saw about a dozen ants running around on the seat. OMG, I was so disgusted and upset, but then I went inside I forgot about them. Next time I went out, I remembered, but they were all gone. Wassup?? Did they...

THERE IS A GREEN GOD AFTER ALL
So yesterday, the natural lawn people came to my house to spray my yard for dandelions and other weeds with a bio-engineered product that is carcinogen-free. I couldn't help but laugh when my neighbor, Brad Pitt's girlfriend, ran up to the guy and wanted to know more. He went to his truck and...

MY HEART IS ON FIRE
It's so sad for me to hear about the fires in Daytona and Velusia county. I feel my heart has always been down in Florida for I have been to the Atlantic side where these fires are brewing, so many times in the past. "The brushfire that erupted Sunday near LPGA Boulevard west of Interstate 95...

THREE YEARS AGO TODAY, MY LIFE WAS CHANGED FOREVER
Today marks three years since my mom's death. It's still fresh. It's still tough. It's still lonely without her. Yes, every day I still want to pick up the phone and call her. I still dream about her; the memories live on. In so many things I do, mom is on my mind and in my heart. This is especially...

THE IGNORANT GARDENER
Unlike my mom who knew flowers and plants so well, I'm one of those people who gardens "intuitively." That is to say, if I like what it looks like, I buy it and plant it, hoping I planted it in the right spot. I don't know why some plants want full sun and others prefer shade. What's with that? lol...

WHEN IT'S A PERFECT FIT!
As I answer freelance writing ads, sometimes I want to tell the editors or business owners just what a perfect fit their particular job is to my interest and skills. Instead of telling them, I try to show them by providing writing samples and a list of related experience to make them see it for...
