New Features

I have mixed feelings about the new features. I like the idea of a calling card, and I also like the idea of "report abuse". I have three questions though: 1. Will "report abuse" be abused? In other words, Are bloggers going to report commenters for disagreeing? 2. If leaving emoticons is now... Sign in to see full entry.

You'd Better Think...Think About What You're Trying To Do To Me

While in Washington D.C., my husband and I had dinner with two friends of ours, Linda and Stewart. Linda works for congress, and worked on the hill for several years as an aide. Being in our nation’s Capitol, the conversation naturally steered itself toward politics. Apparently, Linda feels that the... Sign in to see full entry.

Upon My Return From Our Nation's Capitol

After a week in Washington D.C., I have come to the following conclusion: D.C. should stand for "Dirty City". Linda and Stewart, both Washingtonians and good friends of mine and Eddie-Ray's, met us for dinner at a nice little spot near Union Station. Capitol City Brewery, housed in the old Union...

Why I'll NEVER Give Up My Real Fur Coat

When the weather drops below freezing, as we living up north often get the joy of experiencing (Current Temp: 8º F, -13º C), there is truly no better sheild against the bitter cold than a garment made of animal pelt. Yes, I've heard the arguments against using real animal fur. Yes, I've tried the... Sign in to see full entry.

"...Is There Something You Forgot To Tell Me?"

(St. Theresa, Joan Osborne) I just received a lovely brochure for an annual convention that my company always attends. It was designed beautifully. The cover is a white background with a cute photo of business people running toward the camera. Very cute. The print is easy to read, The logo is... Sign in to see full entry.

"The things we do for love...of our pets"

My husband and I are the proud parents of two beautiful dogs--Roxy, a ten-year-old chocolate brown Pit-Bull and Lab mix, and Sonny, a six-year-old golden Staffordshire Terrier and Shar-Pei mix. My husband has had Roxy since she was a puppy. Roxy has known nothing but high quality dog food, love,... Sign in to see full entry.

When A Fine Young Singer Loses Her Voice...

Laryngitis has hit me! AAAHHHHH!!! It's a good thing I'm taking a break from singing for a month. There is no cold, no flu, no sinus infection surrounding this instance of Laryngitis. My doctor told me to just not speak, drink plenty of fluids, suck a lozenge here or there, and try to relax. So I am... Sign in to see full entry.

Resolutions

How many bloggers make New Year's resolutions? My husband and I started a tradition, and it seems to be working. We sit down together and on an index card we each write down our New Year's resolutions. Then we take those cards and stuff them in the boxes of christmas decorations. I kept 3 of the 7 I...

Vacation, All I Ever Wanted...Vacation, Having To Get Away.

I just love being off work. I won't be back until January 2nd. Until then, I'm enjoying the peace and quiet of my home. I'm enjoying watching my beautiful dogs nap all over the house. I'm hammering out impressive word count on a novel that I've put off writing for far too long. A couple of weeks... Sign in to see full entry.

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like...MAYHEM.

Christmas is the craziest holiday. Everyone is all balled up. Shoppers everywhere have scowls on their faces as they plow their way through the aisles of stores for often outrageous gifts they can't afford to give, then cuss out the cashier barking his or her request for identification as specified...
