Jagged Little Pieces

The jagged pieces of my broken heart are beginning to snag at the fabric of my life. I thought I was fine… dealing with everything from last week.  But I guess that was not so.
I hate feeling so moody and being grouchy and short-tempered. But that’s all I can come up with right now. Try [...]

Egg Hunt

Egg Hunt
We had an Egg Hunt before church this morning. It’s so ill-prepared I just want to scream. I have had some disagreements in the past with the woman who was running the whole show, and came out of my Adult Sunday School class to see if I could help her. The whole thing was [...]

Havin’ a Party

My house is uber-clean right now. Every single thing is in its place.
As a favor to my cousin Ashton, I booked a Party Lite party when I was at hers. Well, the day of reconing ALWAYS comes, and I don’t want to have it. I didn’t invite many people and I am loathe to not [...]

Bizarre Bazaar

I’m so here… and I’m so busy. Today is my first “free” Saturday in FOREVER. So I’m packing it to the gills with stuff like sewing, cleaning, cooking, more cleaning, crocheting, more cooking, and also visiting friends later. Oh, and I’m listening to Podcasts.
On Wednesday this week, my mom and I made three bouquets like [...]

The Green Bible

Last December, while in Bible Study with a group from my former church in Branton, I felt strong urgings to buy a new Bible for one of the ladies in my class, Sheryl. She was having a hard time understanding the version of her Bible, and I had such a heart for her, that I [...]

Prayers Answered

Better yet, Prayers Answered that We Didn’t Yet Ask For
 I had no idea what to expect when *Pastor Cliff asked me nearly two weeks ago, if Rob and I would join him and his wife for dinner tonight at the Olive Garden.
He’s a customer of mine at Work, and a very nice fellow. We have [...]

Wackadoodle

Word Games
I love to morph words. One of my favorites is a combo of Wacky and Cockamamie, and it’s this:
Wackamamie. [wack a MAY me]
I say it all the time. “Look at my hair today. It’s wackamamie,” or, “Oh my goodness. My sister just got this wackamamie huge raise,” or, “Rob, what kind of sandwich is that? [...]
