My heart is touched

Posted in Christian Living, Day-to-Day, Faith, Single Parenting on July 24, 2007 | 3 Comments »

My daughter, Kelsey, posted a comment on someone’s blog that they then used as their blog entry because they thought it was “awesome.” 
It’s so sweet … and it literally made me cry.  But not tears of sorrow.

A “benefit” to being sick :-/

Posted in Day-to-Day on July 23, 2007 | 2 Comments »

But there’s been one benefit for me, personally, in being sick.  Weight loss.  lol
Yep, I seem to have lost about a dress size.  It’s probably not something someone could see just [...]

A “meme” of fours

Posted in Day-to-Day, Meme, Uncategorized on July 19, 2007 | 4 Comments »

Lily at Consider the Lilies tagged me with this meme.  It’s an easy one. 
Four jobs I’ve held (I’ve held many more than this but these came to mind first):

Waitress
Fish slimer (yep, that was the title of my job at a salmon cannery in Alaska)
Phlebotomist (drew blood at Swedish Hospital Mini Lab; aka “Vampire”)
Freelance [...]

The “Google gods” know what we need!

Posted in Day-to-Day, Meme, Needs on July 2, 2007 | 12 Comments »

I found out this little tidbit from my online long-lost “twin” Writerchick.   If you go to Google and type in ”NAME needs” (substitute your first name for the word “NAME”, of course), you’ll find out what you “need” (and for all of you who believe in random fortune telling, no, this isn’t for real … it’s just a joke … a [...]
