Done!

For the past month I’ve watched that commercial where the the girl jumps up and down with the two big bags in front of the guy sitting on the couch yelling “Done! Done, done, done!”

For two weeks I wanted to be her and tonight I finally am. All done! Done, done, done. Food, presents, . . . → Read More: Done!

That Girl & That Tattoo

Today my husband and I took a much needed break from hospitals and holidays. We went to see The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and then out to dinner.

The movie was fabulous! I read all three books and was a fan since the books came out. I’ve gone to see other movies based . . . → Read More: That Girl & That Tattoo

Parts n Wholes

Once again the morning news held social media warnings. I don’t know when we are going to get over it and realize social media is not going away, no matter how many warnings there are about using it. I meet a lot of people in my different social groups who say to me they are . . . → Read More: Parts n Wholes

Once Upon A Time

Tonight I was watching one of this season’s new shows on tv, OnceUpon A Time. It’s the one that takes place in Storybrook Maine and all the fairytale characters are trapped in today’s time and don’t remember who they are. In tonight’s episode Snow White said something to Emma, who is her daughter, (but of . . . → Read More: Once Upon A Time

Tis’ the Season For Giving….

…..so why not take 20 minutes and explore giving in a new way?

This time of year the charities and places to give are too numerous to count. It overwhelms me every year because I can’t give to all of them. Then I saw this video. I learned that God doesn’t want our money. God . . . → Read More: Tis’ the Season For Giving….

This morning Face the Nation opened with “Today is go day.” After gathering for the long holiday weekend, today is the day “everyone gets back on their own boat”.

I laughed as that segment played across the tv because our girls were in the midst of vacating the NY hovel that we all gathered in . . . → Read More: Go Day

On Lady G..for My Michael

Thursday night I posted about the Lady G Thanksgiving special on Facebook. A mom of one my former kindergarten students, who is now a teenager, commented that she didn’t get Lady G, but her son, whom I always call “my Michael”, explained it to her and she got it. She sat down with her teenage . . . → Read More: On Lady G..for My Michael

I Love Pop Culture

A day at the NY apartment with my girls. Jammies all day. The morning news was quickly changed to VH 1. Boston daughter made breakfast quiches and we spent the better part of the morning discussing music and artists. Around noon we took a break. The girls walked over to visit grandpa and left me . . . → Read More: I Love Pop Culture

Agh! More Forwards!

You know the feeling. Open up your inbox and it’s flooded with email chain letter prayers and photos that if you send to six people your prayers will be answered. I know it’s the new age of technology, but the way to talk to God and have Him move and work in my life is . . . → Read More: Agh! More Forwards!

General Malaise

Sitting here watching the Penn State game and feeling bad, just so bad….for the students, especially the seniors (it’s senior day), Joe Pa, the alumni, and…most especially the victims. It’s a tremendous tearing down for all affected. Everyone will be changed by the heartbreak of it all. Next, the healing will have to begin. The . . . → Read More: General Malaise
