Tuesday, December 6, 2005Mom, it's 2 am and we have to leave now !Yes, my child actually did say that; and I actually did get up and leave. With child in tow, away we did go, to stand in a line, way before opening time, to get a great deal, too good to be real, but I felt all the cold, and gave away all my gold. Okay, so it was really silver and green- no gold. I... Sign in to see full entry.Monday, November 28, 2005BBQ Pie....yummy! Not.I had my heart on a wonderful peach pie last night. It was the first chance that I had to sit down and relax since last Tuesday. Okay, I know it was late - 9 pm. I baked it anyway. My daughter took it from the oven when the timer went off and placed it on the stove to cool. Young son turned the tea...

The power kept flickering and going off and on and off and on, until finally, it just stayed off. I told hubby it was his fault since he brought candles home yesterday- just in case we lose...

I am chauffeur for so many different events- work every day for the young daughter, various clubs and get togethers for the young son and daughter, family functions, etc. There was...

I want to keep writing.In fact, that's all I want to do now. I came across an interesting comment the other day- something someone said to me recently. A young girl of about 12 mentioned that she and her mom were...

Except of course, whenever I decided to write poetry. For that, I like to have absolute solitude. Now, however, I want absolute solitude all the time when I am plugging away at the computer. I want to be able to read...

Guess that is why selling reprints, as dances suggested, is a good isea. If only I had any reprints to sell. Okay, I guess I really have to buckle down and keep plugging away, because my initial flurry...

Well, I know what it is now and I wish I knew that I had one 3 days ago because I could have saved myself, and others, about 6 hours of trying to pull our hair out of our heads so that we didn't, uh, well, I don't think I should actually put that here. Anyway, minor...

The workers are a good lot, industrious, pleasant, and not difficult on the eyes, even if they are a bit difficult on the ears. The only sore spot I have is that everytime I go in, I have...

This is the one that I always opted for when he was in grade school. Everytime I rocked the boat, my son would need a haircut (and believe me, it wasn't that long back then- just to the collar and a little below the top of the ears.) So... Sign in to see full entry. |
