I'm sure that by now, most of you have read about the stampede in Mecca, Saudi Arabia early this morning that killed 110 Muslims as they rushed to complete the last three days of their stoning ritual. Please pray for those who lost their lives and for their families. The incident is such a huge... Sign in to see full entry.

Last night before Heather left, she noticed my Russian course study book on top of the printer. "Are you learning to speak Russian," she asked excitedly. "A little bit," I told her. "It's getting better, but I'm not great at it yet." She told me that her WIC counselor had given her some information... Sign in to see full entry.

My brother is now enrolled in the AA programme. I couldn't be more proud of him. However, I received some news from Heather that totally embarrasses me!!... Both my mom and Heather have met the couple who have been sponsering my brother in the programme. They both like them very much. My brother has... Sign in to see full entry.

Hey gang... Do any of you here remember the old silent PINK PANTHER cartoon series? I loved it!! It's just another one of those great old shows I remember from my childhood that still cracks me up. Okay so anyway...I just went to my tv shows on DVD website and found out it's being released on 31... Sign in to see full entry.

Yesterday I spoke with my friend John again. During the conversation, he made a confession that made me very sad.... He smokes. We were chatting away when he suddenly told me he needed to go because he needed to go outside for a cigarette. I was stunned, since I didn't remember reading in his... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm in a great mood, but.... I hate days like this. I've finished the first draft of my assignment, and I was planning on working on some of my arts and crafts projects today. Now, though, I just don't seem to have the energy. I don't mind a few days of having to stay low key, but this has gone on... Sign in to see full entry.

YAHOO!!... I just finished the first draft of my assignment for Jane. The ending still looks a bit rough round the edges, but I'm sure after going over it a couple of times I'll get it straightened out. Now all I have to do is select two possible magazines and write a query letter. I'm almost... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm writing this post because I don't know what else to do. I'm sure that to some of you, what I'm about to confess will sound absurd, but I just can't help how I feel... Do you all remember me posting about my Aussie pen-pal who occasionally uses recreational drugs? Well, I haven't heard from him... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning gang... Well, happy Monday!! Today is the day I finish up the first draft of my next assignment for Jane. It's gone well, but frankly I can't wait until it's done!! It's dark, cold, and snowing here again today. Still, it's a good day. I hope wherever you are today my friends, you're... Sign in to see full entry.

Okay kiddies... I just read the most read in the last seven days list...I'm back up to number seven!! And here I was thinking you all just adore me... WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED?????? Sign in to see full entry.

My dad is supposed to bring over the rocking chair he offered us sometime today. I just hope he gets here soon because it's already getting dark. I can't wait to get this chair. I have soooo wanted a rocking chair, but have never been able to afford a brand new one. Granted, this chair is definitely... Sign in to see full entry.

Good afternoon, gang... I meant to post yesterday, but I actually wasn't online a whole lot. I didn't get any more work on my assignment done yesterday either, so I'll finish it up today. I'm really quite pleased with it so far. This being assignment 2, I have only seven more to go until I finish... Sign in to see full entry.

Okay, I've had it!! My computer is officially being sent to the fiery pit!!... So, if you all don't see any posts from me for a while, here's why...

Good afternoon, kiddies... Aren't you all impressed now???? I actually made it back to post again before night fall!!.... My assignment is going really well. I'm sure it will need at least one more drafting before I send it off to Jane, but at least I'm finally going places with it!! The one thing I... Sign in to see full entry.

Actually, I'm not sure if chugging is quite the right word this morning. Wow, is it cold here!! It's also snowing, which as you all know by now I don't care for one bit!! All the same, I can't really complain. I got quite a bit of work done on my assignment yesterday. After it's finished, I have to... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi gang, I know I promised earlier today to come back to you all, but my mind is reeling at the moment. I finally figured out what to do about my assignment and I must say I think it's coming along really well. I've noticed over the past few days that I've been bounced between the number four and...

Good morning, gang... I'm feeling a lot better this morning. Thanks much to all of you who left kind comments regarding my post of last night. I'm not as tired today and my joints are actually doing much better!! I'll go back to working on my assignment in a few minutes. I'm so happy I decided to go... Sign in to see full entry.

Howdy, gang... DANG...I'm so freakin' tired I can't even type tonight. I've been tired a lot lately, and the more sleep I get, the more I want to sleep. I don't think it's anything serious though 'cause I can still function pretty normally. I'm quite sure it's my joints acting up again...Wintertime... Sign in to see full entry.

Good grief!! Here we are, only the third day into this new year and I'm already losing it!! I don't even know what set me off this time. As I mentioned yesterday, I started my next assigment for Jane. I really like the idea I have, but somehow it just doesn't seem to be working out the way I... Sign in to see full entry.

Not an exciting day, but I have managed to start my next assingment for Jane. It's about a sixteen year old Jewish girl who re-discovers her faith and her heritage after spending a summer in Israel with her aunt. I like the beginning of it so far.
