Another World AIDS Day is slowly drawing to a close. I keep in my prayers all those lost to this disease and all who battle it still. Some people would claim that AIDS is God's punishment to those who "deserve" the disease because of their lifestyles. I DO NOT believe this at all. AIDS is no longer... Sign in to see full entry.

Wouldn't you know it? Today's the day I have to clean the coffee pot, and my ankle is out again! I should be okay as long as I don't stand for too long in one shot I keep trying to pop it, but it won't budge. I'll try some icy hot and see if that helps. Once I've managed to lose a bit of weight, I... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm so relieved! We got our monthly cheques this morning. I have no bills to worry about now other than the cable, which can be paid in the middle of the month. I've set the electric up to be paid the day it's due, and the other that needed paying cleared from my account first thing this morning.... Sign in to see full entry.

I've just read that the man suspected of killing four Seattle police officers as they sat together in a coffee shop has been fatally wounded by the authorties who sought to bring him to justice for his crimes. I pray today for the families of the victims and yes, for the family of the man who took... Sign in to see full entry.

I can't believe I'm four years old today! In blogit years, that is... I can't believe I've written so much for the past four years. I was referred here by a very dear friend of mine, but at first I just thought it would be one of those once in a while hobbies. I honestly didn't think all that much... Sign in to see full entry.

OMG...I'm so bleeding angry right now. I want to cry, but it won't come. I want to throw up, but I can't. Even now, I'm amazed and stunned by the cruelty of some people. I just got off the phone with Mum, and she just told me that a Maine man willfully set fire to his own home, killing the twelve... Sign in to see full entry.

Hard as I tried, I could not get to sleep last night!! Needless to say, I think it's going to be a very early night tonight! This is literally the first entry I have felt like making today. As soon as Roommie gets back on Thursday I have to mail Juliet's package to London. I hope it arrives in time!... Sign in to see full entry.

I just read online that four Seattle police offericers were shot to death as they sat in a coffee shop just a few miles southwest of the city. Authorities are still searching for the suspect or suspects. This makes me so sad and furious...Why do these things always have to happen just after or... Sign in to see full entry.

There's a Andre Rieu concert at five o'clock tonight on our local public station. I'm going to record it though since Mum and Grammy will probably be here by then. I'll watch it sometime tomorrow or Tuesday. I only discovered him a couple of years ago. I love hearing him play his violin and sing in... Sign in to see full entry.

Roommie left a little over an hour ago to spend four days with her sister and family. She'll be back on Thursday probably sometime in the late afternoon. It's already too quiet here. I've kept the radio on day and night since Thanksgiving. It's the only thing keeping me sane lately. Don't usually... Sign in to see full entry.

I think I may be able to have the first draft of Isabella's story completed tomorrow. I just have to find a way to complete it in a way that will satisfy me. Let me assure you all, this is no easy feat! I usually never like the endings of my stories. Dunno why...just never have. Who knows?... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm really hungry! We didn't have much for breakfast this morning, so my poor stomach is rumbling away like mad here. Only problem is, neither of us knows what we want for lunch! We never really know what we want for breakfast, lunch, or dinner from one day to the next. Roommie and I are very... Sign in to see full entry.

A few days ago, I offered Janey a bound copy of THERE'S A BABY IN OUR STABLE! if she'd like one as she told me she tries to find a new version of the Christmas story to read each year to her family. This has given me an idea. If anyone else who's been reading the story-and even for my usual readers... Sign in to see full entry.

I've been alternating between painting Mum's turkey couple-I wasn't able to finish it in time to give it to her on Thursday-and my Hanukkah bears. I've been looking at the bears, and I've just come to a sad, frustrating realisation... I don't like the way the bears are turning out! They're very... Sign in to see full entry.

Good grief! The wind is literally howling outside! Roommie and I were watching the trees outside the windows just a while ago, and the poor trees are shaking and bending every which way! I pray none of them topples over. The trees are almost bare here now. What with the gray skies to match, it's a... Sign in to see full entry.

I wasn't able to buy the Wii system today, so I'm a bit disappointed. It's okay really though, because it wasn't a definet yes anyway. Eventually I'll be able to afford one. There are so many people in need...it's just silly to be disappointed over a material thing. See? I'm feeling better already!... Sign in to see full entry.

They've done it again, and they're going to keep right on doing it! They keep playing SANTA BABY!!!!!!!!!!.... Now, there are a few songs I dislike, but I can still put up with them. SANTA BABY IS NOT ONE OF THOSE SONGS!!!!!! I don't at all mind songs that mention Santa Claus in them. In fact, most... Sign in to see full entry.

Happy day after Thanksgiving everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful time with your families and friends yesterday. I can't believe how fast the day went by! Poor Roommie is still sleeping. It's too quiet and lonely being up all by myself, so I've turned the Christmas carols on again. Did anyone go... Sign in to see full entry.

Good Lord! It's only Thanksgiving evening, and they are ALREADY playing Christmas carols!!!!! There's a radio station here that starts every year by playing them twenty-four hours a day from Thanksgiving night until midnight the day after Christmas.

Happy Thanksgiving my friends! I hope everyone enjoyed a safe, peaceful and happy Thanksgiving. Mum's dinner was the usual success! Everything was delicious and as usual, I ate way too much! We were sent home with a ton of sweets. There was too much stuffing, and no one tried ours! We left it for... Sign in to see full entry.
