The French Never Cease To Annoy Me!

Last weekend I worked as an interpreter at an international conference regarding trainer training. It was like getting a buy one, get one free: I also am a trainer (since I teach English to adults) so what better way to hear the issues and challenges to be faced in order to create some sort of...

Happy Belated Christmas to All

The last few days were (busy)ness as usual....cooking, cleaning, and last-minute rugby playing (ergo:shoppping), which meant no time for popping in to wish everyone a joyous holiday. I hope everyone had a wonderful day, and didn't overdo it ( like I did!). xoxoxoxoxxoxoxo Sign in to see full entry.

How many times have you followed your gut feelings?

How many times, try as you may to reason otherwise in order to see things differently,do your instincts play a key role in your decisions - and are by far an unfallible way of making a final call? Around June of this year I was offered to teach English to adults who work for the local government.... Sign in to see full entry.

Why are women still not allowed to have standards when it comes to men?

So here I am...40, single and loving it (ok, loving the peace of mind that being single brings). Many times, no actually, almost every day, I get hit with THE question: you're pretty, smart, etc....why aren't you married? Well...that's cause when you've had your heart broken one too many times, you... Sign in to see full entry.

Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas! Get fined!

Well, as happens every holiday season, the so-called politically correct are out nitpicking and have found yet another fault in, and have proposed a ban on, a long-time Christmas tradition. After wanting to take out Linus's recital of the Gospel of St.Luke in A Charlie Brown Christmas, wanting to... Sign in to see full entry.

Never call a woman a whore - an update

Well apparently the old saying hold true. I got an update from mutual friends - apparently my ex, (read my entry called "Never call a woman a whore - tomorrow she might be your wife") after a whirlwind courtship and seeing this woman all but twice, is going to get married as soon as she sets foot in...

Constant Content DOES work!

I just can't believe it - even if it is only for a small amount, I managed to sell my first article, which I wrote two years ago! I had forgotten all about it! I guess it's true when they say you reap what you sow...now I'm gonna keep writing and writing! Sign in to see full entry.

Do things happen for a reason?

I sure think so. And considering the state of shambles I was in a few months ago, I still take this as a sign from up above. Two months ago I started working for a travel agency that wanted to offer me full-time work. I was over the moon - it was the opportunity I had prayed for as a solution to my...
