Today I was heating up my lunch, on break, and our pseudo boss walks in. She takes one look at my food, decides that is too much, and says, “what, are you feeding the whole office?” Is this a joke? It is my business what I eat. People! Stay out of [...]

Jonah
WordPress ate my Jonah post when I made the switch…trying again.
We are studying Jonah at church right now. This week was Jonah 1, the sermon was very interesting and insightful. But that is not what I will be writing about. I picked up on something which I wanted to keep as a reminder here.
First the [...]

Knitting
I made this hat for my daughter earlier this season in order to match her Pooh Bear coat. Pictures of the mittens to come later.

Leaving
Well Uncle is gone now. We took him to the airport this morning. I suspect my daughter is not going to take kindly to this. I do have to admit I sometimes wonder how she deals with people being in and out of her life so constantly. On the other hand, [...]

Knitting
I decided to make a hat for my brother while he was visiting. It knitted up quickly, was fun to do, and looks quite good on him. On the other hand, the hat is back in my hands because he “just doesn’t wear hats.” (Luckily it doesn’t look half bad on me either.)

Lent
I have a lovely older coworker who is my “adopted grandmother” here. She and her husband have been very good to me, making sure I felt that I have family in the area. The other day she mentioned that she was going to give up chocolate for lent. Now, last year, I [...]

All better
My daughter seems to be feeling much better. She really tried to be grumpy with me this morning but she just couldn’t! She didn’t even want to take her binkie in the car (thank goodness for small miracles).
Her father brought her a small Dalmatian stuffed puppy which she is quite enjoying. It is old, obviously [...]

Laundry list
To start with, no 2:30 AM faxes so I must be off the list. Considering my great fear of the phone, I am surprised the incident managed to get me so worked up so fast that I would choose to call the company. After all, I am sitting on all those payday loan [...]

Challenge Part II
I realized that I left it unclear as to what other challenges our Pastor might have offered. So I am going to take time to write about the challenge we participated in last summer.
Our church had committed, in January, to raise 1 million to start a hospital for women and children in Mali West [...]

Challenge
Our pastor has issued (once again) a challenge. We are to memorize a large (for me) chunk of scripture. He loves to issue challenges and we love to accept and exceed expectations. To add an additional element of interest, he has divided us into 2 groups, 45 and older, and then us [...]

Disney
My daughter is developing a love for Disney movies. She used to not be the least bit entertained by TV in any way so this is a more recent development. All of a sudden, movies are fascinating, which is great when she is sick, but on more than one occasion, we have [...]

Some habits die hard.
I am 72% Ska.
Well, maybe I’m trying too hard, maybe I’m not trying hard enough. I shouldn’t forget my roots, and remember that punk and reggae wouldn’t exist without ska.
Take the
Ska Test

Illness
On Monday, My daughter’s school called to tell me she had a fever of 101.9. I was ordered to come pick her up. The school has a rule that she must be fever free without medication for 24 hours before her return. That means even if she is well that day, we [...]

Just think of it!
My daughter has been rather amazed by glasses lately. I attribute that to “The Nose Book” by Al Perkins which she received from my parents for Christmas.
The last section of this book talks about various strange things which would happen if we had no nose. Something like….”If we had no nose, where would [...]

Siblings, or lack thereof.
My daughter does not have a sibling. As a single mom we can assume that none are on the horizon anytime soon. What I didn’t realize about only children was that they still have it in their nature to fight with siblings. But all we have to substitute is a doll. [...]
