The Eyes Have It

June 30, 2010 – 2:56 pm

So.  Basically I really hated yesterday’s prompt and had a rebellion.  You’ll be left forever wondering what it was, why I hated it and what I might have responded to it if I’d stopped kicking over the traces long enough to actually think.  My tiny little excuse is a really really bad case of hives [...]

Million Dollar Give-Away

June 8, 2010 – 8:54 am

So … my fingers have been itchy and I want to write again.  I find myself daydreaming about blog posts … again.  It must be time to come back and write.
Thanks to the Holly, I found this site where they are posting a blog prompt every day for a month.  I don’t know if I [...]

A New Year – A New Look

January 4, 2010 – 12:29 pm

Wow … it’s been two months since the last post.  If you’ve come around lately you’ll see a new look here.  I’ve been doing some housekeeping, and finally upgraded my WordPress from 2.3 to 2.9 … a task that’s been on my list since August.  Of 2008!
So I’m working on this space.  It’s not finished [...]

The Spatula Is Down

January 1, 2009 – 4:23 pm

The gloves are off.  Brother Maynard issued a pancake challenge.  Complete with photos.
Never one to shrink away from such things, I’m stepping forward with a recipe of my own.
Now … I do not make cute bears.  Or things like that.  I have been known to experiment with initials branded in mine.  But my kids are [...]

Feel – A Book Review

August 19, 2008 – 7:33 am

Feel:  The Power Of Listening To Your Heart by Matthew Elliott
This book was a breath of fresh air for me.  Sort of.  Matthew Elliott wants very badly to believe what he’s writing.  But I never quite got the feeling that he really did.  And I want to believe it too.  Whenever there’s been a dust [...]

Scene Around The Sphere

July 29, 2008 – 8:36 pm

I dunno if it’s a cycle of the moon.  Maybe I shouldn’t try to explain it.  But there just seems to be some stuff I need to share with you right now.  So here is some of it … in no particular order.
Rachel Barenblatt of Velveteen Rabbi is studying in Israel this summer.  Her descriptions [...]

Blessing …

July 13, 2008 – 6:48 am

Select up to 20 friends who deserve blessing. Bless 15 more friends, and advanced blessing options will be available.
I found the above directive in Facebook one day.
I can’t decide … part of me thinks this is absolutely hilarious and giggles uncontrollably when I read it.  Another part of me finds this very, very sad [...]
