Okay, I admit it. I have a HUGE sweet tooth!!! Always have, always will, I fear. My favourite junk food ever is chocolate. Just not the white stuff, if you please! That stuff makes me!!!! One of my favourite naughty breakfast foods of all time are pop-tarts. Come to think of it, Roommie and I shared... Sign in to see full entry.

After posting my excitement about receiving my Gingerbread table top collection in the post today, I decided what better to complete my cheeful little ensamble than a gingerbread table cloth? I've just had a look round at ebay to see if I could find some nice soft gingerbread themed fabrics that... Sign in to see full entry.

Olga breaks the silence after a few minutes. “The men must be starving! Come, Poka. I will help you cook the eggs. Dadi has brought you some fresh milk. I have brought more bread in case you ran out.” She reaches across the table and squeezes Dadi’s shaking hands. I listen with a numbed heart while... Sign in to see full entry.

At long, long last they have arrived! Just as I was chatting to a friend on facebook, someone knocked at the door. It was a UPS delivery man and he was bringing me my... GINGERBREAD COOKIES!!!!! The set is even more adorable in person than in the photograph in the catalog. All the pieces are happy... Sign in to see full entry.

Lord, have mercy! It is HOT here today! And I mean HOT!!! We're plunged once more into a hot, sticky uncomfortable abyss, and will remain stuck here until at least Friday. YUCK!!! I had a fifteen minute workout this morning. I couldn't work out at all yesterday because my back was hurting again. It... Sign in to see full entry.

To keep us all warm, I keep the curtains drawn and the fire lit. It isn’t until I sit down that I notice the basket of eggs on the table. Dadi looks at me without smiling. He pushes them toward me. “I stopped to collect your eggs this morning Poka. I’m surprised they are laying so well in this cold... Sign in to see full entry.

I've just had a quick look round amazon, and I've already found four games I know Margaret will love! I found one I think she might like, but that one may have to wait for Christmas time because it's over sixty dollars! It's jaw-dropping (and frankly, outright ridiculous) that mere video games are...

As I've previously posted, Margaret's birthday is at the end of October. As I've also posted, I had the perfect birthday gift planned for her. I'm still going to get this gift for her, but I've just come upon a thought...another gift I know she's going to LOVE!!!! For a long time now, she's been... Sign in to see full entry.

Good afternoon everyone... I hope you all had a peaceful and enjoyable weekend. I haven't written since Saturday, but the past two days have been rough on me. I'm back today though, so you'll be seeing me. Please, may I ask for some prayers for a friend? Mum rang me last night and informed me that... Sign in to see full entry.

I motion for Vyktor to stay still and silent, which he does. He looks worried for a moment. “What is it Poka?” he asks in a nervous whisper. I shake my head. “My neighbour,” I mouth to him. I peer anxiously through the closed curtains. I stand stone still, holding my breath. After a moment, I... Sign in to see full entry.

'K, so here's my issue. Now, please y'all, feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken, but aren't we waaaaay past the fourth of July holiday now? Well, apparently, our neighbours don't seem to think so...or maybe they just don't care? I dunno. Anyhoo...for the past three or four nights, whenever... Sign in to see full entry.

Mum will be round for coffee soon but I promise to return as soon as I can. Which will be soon! Sign in to see full entry.

Well, I just finished my first workout. I haven't been able to do that for almost two months now due to the horrible heat and humidity and my usual back issues. It felt really good! The thing I like best about this is that I always imagine I'm peddling a bicycle feeling the wind and the sun on my... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... I have more to write today, but this one will have to be a bit short because I want to have a workout before I do anything else. I just wanted to pop in for a quick hello before I have to dash off again! Thank God the weekend is almost here! Poor Margaret isn't feeling too well again... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... I just wanted to drop by and ask for prayers for my friend Avery's mum Sandy. I'm not sure about the specifics, just that she needs prayer. If you would be kind enough, I know they'd both appreciate it very much. Thank you all and God bless. Sign in to see full entry.

What a strange day this has been! I feel so odd. Not in a bad way, not at all. I don't even know what's causing the oddness. Ah, well...I guess it'll pass sooner or later. I finally got round to writing that letter I've been meaning to sending off to Juliet. With the sadness I've sensed from her... Sign in to see full entry.

Thinkng about some things last night, I realised that there are people who would have been totally offended by my post regarding Anne Frank last night. And, believe this or not, they would have had every right to feel that way. I have read Anne's diary so many times that I've lost count now. Every... Sign in to see full entry.

Here is a more visual description of the vision I had of Anne Frank yesterday morning. Please know that it was NOT written with any intent of disrespect, but rather to honour her shining memory.

I'm sorry I won't be able to post more of Vyktor this evening after all, but I just have to share this with you all! I wanted to write it earlier, but today has not been a good one. Anyway, I'm going to burst if I don't get this out! Just as I was waking up this morning, I had another vision of Anne... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... I will post again in a bit, but first I need a shower before I can do any serious writing. I don't know about you all, but I just can't write if I don't feel squeaky clean! Let's just say I can't wait to get down to it! Yesterday I couldn't think of anything to write at the new... Sign in to see full entry.
