That's what I'm suffering from today. I don't know why, but I feel like something is wrong. What, though, I can't figure out. Or is it that something is about to go wrong? I wish I knew. I spoke with Juliet again online last night, and she told me that the reason I haven't seen her lately is that... Sign in to see full entry.

I honestly don't know whether to feel angry or not. Shocked, I most definetly am. I just read online that the list made by Nazi party member Oskar Schindler is up for sale for the staggering price of $2.2 million dollars. It is being sold by a man who lives in upstate New York on his website... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... We're having a rainy Tuesday here, but without rain, the flowers and trees won't bud! Roommie was meant to make a last trip to Wal-Mart today before leaving for her sister's on Friday, but we decided last minute that she should stay home. It wasn't all that urgent that she go anyway.... Sign in to see full entry.

Today's the day I'm going to start shopping for Roommie's Easter basket! She's supposed to be leaving for a week's visit sometime on Friday afternoon, but I figure it's best just to start now. And anyway, she's out at the moment and won't bother to snoop at what I'm doing when she gets back home. As... Sign in to see full entry.

PARIS Note: I never got to see Paris when I was in France, but at least I got to see it here. Another gorgeous morning in Paris. Warm enough for me to have my coffee on the balcony. So, here I sit in my pajamas, coffee in hand, laptop and drawing supplies on my little outdoor table. I’ll go and have... Sign in to see full entry.

Yes, it's true. I have been really bad. I read as many people as I can during the days that I'm able to be here, and sadly, that has not been as often as I would have liked. In a way, I feel like I've let my friends down. I have my reasons for not being here on a daily basis this month, some of... Sign in to see full entry.

Happy very first day of spring, my dear friends! I am so happy and excited that winter is now gone for another year! No more snow, sleet, or freezing bloody rain! Now at last, the earth and all its wonderous life can be reborn. I'm looking forward to seeing which kinds of flowers Mum decides to... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... Please may I ask you all for prayers for my Mum and Uncle? Mum had to take their oldest shitzu, Keisha, to the vet today for treatment for a chronic skin infection and her physical exam. Sadly, the vet discovered a lump on Keisha's belly and had to inform Mum it's more than likely a... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... It's a breezy but sunny day here. There is a chill hanging in the air, but it's not too bad. If only I could hear some birds sing! I ordered a new crochet kit this morning, even though I'm still not very good at it yet. I figure it'll give me something to look forward to when the time... Sign in to see full entry.

As most of you know, Roommie and I have been discussing getting a pair of cell phones for quite some time now. Neither of us wants to really, but the sad fact is that much as we've despised the idea, they are actually a real necessity for the two of us. So anyhoo...here's the dilemma part. We've...

Happy Saint Patrick's Day, my friends! I'm not feeling very green today. I don't want to be Irish any more. I feel like I've been smurf napped. Sign in to see full entry.

I've often posted that whenever I feel struck to write something, usually a work of fiction, it's because someone has "spoken" to me. I hereby want to stress the point that these voices do not actually come from a living person. That was, until the day before yesterday. I'm not sure if anyone has... Sign in to see full entry.

Okay, now I am SERIOUSLY ANGRY!!!!! Here is a very brief update for you all regarding the post I wrote a couple of days ago regarding the eleven rare Siberian tigers that were found starved to death in small cages at a Beijing, China zoo. As I wrote in my post, the zoo staff claimed that they did... Sign in to see full entry.

Gosh, I can't believe its been almost three whole days since my last post! I won't bother trying to explain my absence, because frankly, I don't have a reason for it. Anyway, I'm back now. The sun is out today, thank goodness. We had rain for a day and a half running. Not a pleasant time for me or... Sign in to see full entry.

I am so disgusted with the human race right now. When will we learn that the non-human animals we share this planet with have the same feelings as we? They cannot "speak" to us, so we should we bother to try and hear what they have to tell us? When an animal loses an offspring, they mourn in the... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... I just wanted to let you all know that I spoke to Becky this afternoon and she made it to Boston and home again without too much hassel. Her kidneys have been thoroughly tested, but she has to wait until Wednesday to find out whether the laser surgery is an option for her. The surgeon... Sign in to see full entry.

Last night the most wonderful idea hit me! Becky's birthday is 10 May, and she's gonna be so surprised! I can't wait till it gets to her. She'll probably kill me, but at least I'll die knowing I put a smile on her face! Let me explain... About two years ago, Walter and Becky decided to purchase a... Sign in to see full entry.

Please keep Becky and Walter in your thoughts and prayers today. Becky has to be at hospital in Boston by 2:00 this afternoon to meet with the surgeons to see what if anything is to be done about her kidney stone problems.
