I've just finished my shopping at Build-a-Bear! I'm so excited. I was going to have the gifts shipped directly to Juliet in London, but the total came to $95.00's, which I just can't afford. So, I had to change the shipping address to my own. I'll have to ask Mum to take Roommie or I to the post... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi gang... I know this is my first post of the day, but I'll be honest here and say that I've been too lazy to write anything until now. Anyway, I'm here now and hopefully this won't be my only post. Today, I MUST go to some different sites and attempt to get some Christmas shopping done! My first... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi gang... Sorry I wasn't around much today, but it's raining buckets here and its been freezing cold all day. I think all the cold froze my brain! I couldn't think of anything to write for you all. I even tried working on my stories, but I just sat here with a blank stare at an unending white wall.... Sign in to see full entry.

Some of you may remember a couple of weeks ago, I posted about the fact that my friend Juliet and I are planning to exchange small gifts for Christmas this year. Plan to at least go and add the elephant to my cart at build-a-bear tonight, but after that post, I remembered something. Juliet has a... Sign in to see full entry.

YIKES, IT'S FREEZING OUTSIDE HERE TODAY!! Roommie and I slept in until 10:00 this morning, and I'm seriously tempted to go back to bed! I need a shower first, though. It won't be a long one, though. I just wanna get in and get out so I can dry off and bundle up. No wonder my back and hips are giving... Sign in to see full entry.

REIGN OF FIRE Vienna, Austria-9 November, 1938 I’m sitting here in near darkness trying to write this letter to you. Of course, I have the desk lamp switched on, but it’s of little help, since all the drapes have been drawn. I wish I could go outside, but Papa has forbidden it! He and Mama have gone...

Disney Pixar's UP has finally been released to DVD! It was available in stores on Tuesday, but Roommie and I couldn't pick it up until today. I'm glad we finally have it to add to our animated film collection, but... It makes me cry. When we went to the theatre last June to see it, I sobbed almost... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm going to post the link for the organisation I donate to that aids Russian and Ukrainian Jews. I don't mean to force anyone here to make a donation, but to simply make it available for anyone who may wish to have a look. go to www.ifcj.org As I said in my previous post, I honestly think that my...

LOL...Mum rang just a few minutes ago and informed Roommie she's dropping in for coffee. Now mind you, I rang her myself this morning, and she never mentioned it to me. It isn't that I mind when she pops in. As a matter of fact, we love it. But I just once wish someone would at least have the... Sign in to see full entry.

I posted the other day about the fact that on Dad's side of the family, we are a quarter German...and that we are also Jewish. No one in my family seems to be able to accept this fact. I remember when I was about thirteen years old, having a physical therapist who was Jewish. Once my father... Sign in to see full entry.

I hope you find this post, dear Grandmummy... Now, some of you who read me on a regular basis may or may not know why I call our dear, sweet Kabu Grandmummy. Truth be told, I'm not quite sure how it started myself! What I can say is that yet once more, I'm deeply thankful and humbled, grateful and... Sign in to see full entry.

Earlier tonight, Mum called to ask me a favour. After she explained the situation, I couldn't refuse. Then again, I wouldn't have, anyway. It seems that my Grandmother's (My Dad's Mum, who passed away almost three years ago) brother, my Uncle Gordon and his wife Noti, are have it hard financially at... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone. The sun is shining today, so there is something to be thankful for. Roommie isn't feeling well today, and I'm not feeling so hot myself. We don't have flu, thank God. Just a bit stiff and achy. Roommie's sister is driving us both crazy! She has taken on the responsibility of looking... Sign in to see full entry.

The piece I'm about to post is an excercise I found in a book I odered last summer. I don't know why, but I've decided to post it...

Today is Veteran's Day, but of course we all know this. Today is just another day of Thanksgiving for me. I will never be able to express enough gratitude to those who fight and give their all to keep us safe and free. There are so many simple things we take for granted, myself included. We live in...

Last night, I was talking to my Mum on the phone, and she informed me that she wants to add another puppy to their family. She has two Shitzus. A male and a female, and they want another female. Keisha is very old now. She's overweight, lame, and now blind in both eyes. Actually, she had to have one... Sign in to see full entry.

I know, this is my first post of the day. Its just been so crazy I either haven't had time to post. But I'm here now, and I will be back! (Doing her best to mimick a German accent, here!)... Sign in to see full entry.

Earlier today, I happened to flip on the tv and catch the opening of the memorial for the victims of Fort Hood. My eyes couldn't help welling up with tears as I listened to President Obama read out the names of the 13 men and women who lost their lives that day. The real truth of this tragedy is...

Hi everyone... I had so much I wanted to write today, but my poor eyes dictated otherwise. Please, don't any of you worry, I'm just fine. The frames have been tightened, so I can see again. Just needed to let my eyes readjust after having to be without the face furniture for well over an hour.... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi gang... I will be back, but I have to take my glasses off for a while. Roommie's gonna take them over to the eye glass place to have the screws on the frames tightened a bit. I'll be back later. Sign in to see full entry.
