I love Saturdays, especially bright, sunny Saturdays! I can't go outside to stroll in it or enjoy it, but it's nice to have the shining sun anyway. Mum is coming for coffee this afternoon, so it'll be nice to have some actually compainonship for a little while. Don't get me wrong, the cats and Mocha... Sign in to see full entry.

LATE START
Hi gang, Hope you're all having a fabulous Friday! Poor Roommie called from her sister's yesterday, and she's sick as a dog, so I asked her not to come home until she's feeling better. I hate asking her to stay away, but I'm not feeling so well just now myself with all my back and knee troubles, so... Sign in to see full entry.

FROZEN SOLID!!!!!
Good evening gang... I didn't do much at all today. I wanted to write more, but my hands keep stiffening up, which makes it really hard to do that. I couldn't latch hook, and I didn't get to do much of the writing I wanted to do either. Bugger it all! I did send a couple of emails though. I just... Sign in to see full entry.
BITTER COLD AND SOME BACH AFTER BREAKFAST
Good morning gang... Dear Lord God have mercy! It is FREAKIN' COLD TODAY!!!!! No wonder...it only reached two below zero degrees last night! Two degrees below ZERO!!!!! YIKES!!!!! It's a good thing I don't live in Poland or Russia...the winters there can be far worse. My poor knees are giving me... Sign in to see full entry.

TIRED...COLD...STARTING TO STIFFEN UP
I'm calling it an early night. I wasn't planning to, but all of the sudden I'm really cold...freezing, actually! No, I'm not coming down with anything. It's just a result of all the blasted snow we've had over the last few days. I think that's part of the reason my back is giving me hell again. My... Sign in to see full entry.
BACK AT #1????
I hereby have decided only to check my account status here in blogland only once a month. Well, I checked it this morning and found I've already made a whopping twenty four cents for this, the second day of the brand new year. WHOOPIE!!!!! I was even more surprised however, to find my name back in... Sign in to see full entry.
MY MISTAKE
Oops! I just re-read the guidelines for submissions to common ties, and it seems they do indeed accept previously published material. I was thinking of PEDESTAL MAGAZINE, which does not. Here's the tricky (but still fun) part...COMMON TIES only accepts stories of 50 words or less. YIKES! Oh, I hope... Sign in to see full entry.
WHAT TO WRITE?
I'm just about to go and re-read the writer's guidelines for commonties.com. Only problem is, I don't know what to write about for them. They have very specific topics and word limits, but that really isn't my problem at this point. See, from what I can remember from my very first visit to their... Sign in to see full entry.
ONE BILL DOWN, ONE TO GO...SOME READING, CLEANING THE COFFEE POT
I hope y'all don't mind if I post the mundanities of my day. I will do some serious writing later on, but I've got a gazillon things going on all at once! Well, I decided to be a very good little girl and pay off the electric bill. All $56.22 of it! I could have broken the payments down if I'd... Sign in to see full entry.
SO MUCH TO DO!
Good grief! Is it Wednesday already???? For some reason or other, the Christmas and New Year holidays always screw up my internal clock. Well, at least New Year's Day is over...Thank God. I made it through the day okay, I guess. I thought of him every minute, but then I guess that's what you're... Sign in to see full entry.

MY FIRST HELLO OF THE NEW YEAR
Hello gang... There, my first hello of the new year! I hope you're all having a fantastic first day of 2008. I've installed the new copy of Norton's Antivirus, had a shower, and now I'm off to make lunch! Blessings and love to you all... Sign in to see full entry.

WELCOME, 2008!
Happy New Year, my friends! I wish for you all a year filled with brightness, peace, love, and joy. It's well after midnight here now, so I'm going to bed. See y'all in a few hours! Sign in to see full entry.
THE DAY BEFORE
I felt it hit me the moment I woke up this morning. Tears flooded my eyes, and I wondered what the point of celebrating would be. For me, there just is no point. This year will pass away just like every year before it...so what? I'll watch the ball drop in Times Square, but it won't mean anything to... Sign in to see full entry.

HERE WE GO AGAN
JANNY’S STORY PART ONE A NIGHTMARE’S BEGINNING They stand together at the window, looking down on the street below in stunned, horrified silence. Surely, the scene unfolding before them cannot be real! Surely, it must be a reel from an awful film…a bad dream, nothing more. “Jakob, what’s going on?... Sign in to see full entry.
HOUSEWORK!
Hi gang... I hope everyone has had a very pleasant Sunday. I wanted to write earlier today, but I've been moving slower than a turtle today! Just can't seem to get motivated to do much of anything! I never even made it into the shower until 1:00 this afternoon...LOL! Well, the house is a downright... Sign in to see full entry.

RAINY, SOGGY, WET...FREEZING!
Ah! Another beautiful day in the neighbourhood! I slept in until 8:30, but then I didn't get to bed until about 1:00 this morning. (Long story, don't want to go there). Anyhow, I wake up and literally, it's pitch black outside! At first I thought it must be snowing again, but when I looked out the... Sign in to see full entry.

A WAR AMONG THE RIGHTEOUS?
I just read the most incredibly STUPID thing online, and quite frankly kiddies, I'm no less than disgusted by the whole damn thing! It seems that a group of Armenian and Greek Orthodox Catholic priests got into a scuffle at the Church of Bethlehem in Israel's West Bank. The reason? They don't like... Sign in to see full entry.
A FAR AWAY PLACE
It snowed here again last night. We're expecting more over the weekend as well. Normally, I don't like to watch the snow falling down from the sky, but for some reason last night I was utterly mesmorised by it. For some reason, it made me think of a friend I once had in Poland. I can still remember... Sign in to see full entry.

ICE PICK, ANYONE?
Well, I've finally made it in and out of the shower again. Took me almost two hours, but hey! It did help my knees a bit, and I took some more Advil just before heading off to the shower. The Advil has done nothing for my back, however. The burning sensation has gone...at least, temporarily. But I... Sign in to see full entry.
THE WONDER OF IT ALL
HAHA, The joke's on me! I've just looked out the window and I now know why I'm so bloody cold!... It's freakin' snowing AGAIN!!!!!.... Poor Roommie just called. She's stuck in Tennessee. I won't go into the reasons for this, 'cause quite frankly talking about it ticks me off no end. Needless to say,... Sign in to see full entry.
