I only slept about 15 minutes!

But what a dream. I dreamed I had a baby… it was a girl, and she was only about as big as David was… but was alive. Her lungs were working fine. She was a bit floppy (like David was) but was ALIVE. Then John Luke came in to have me put on his sandals and woke me up.

Great quote

“In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the […]

Monday, Monday…

Why are Mondays so difficult? Getting back in the swing of things after a restful, relaxing weekend (or even after a busy, hectic weekend, for that matter) always seems difficult. It must be something about inertia… either way, the “normal, average” isn’t what the weekend was, usually. We had my youngest sister-in-law in town for the weekend, which meant my […]

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

I grew up with a very Irish last name, so St. Paddy’s has always been one of my more favorite days, even if we don’t *do* anything about it. My brother, as I recall, used to delight in wearing orange on St. Patrick’s Day. I’m not sure if he still does that or not.

Invisible

I’m feeling particularly invisible, lately. If you saw my post a few days ago (though, at this point, I’m doubting anyone even reads HERE), you’ll have seen that it saddens me that nobody from my past has ever – apparently – wanted to contact me… and I feel like if I don’t go to the message boards that I generally […]

Things I would like to purchase

A Canon PowerShot S3 IS 3. New (lower, not upper) kitchen cabinets with more drawers 4. A Wii There […]

Friends from the past

I find it a bit sad. I have made myself easily findable (on purpose) because we moved a lot when I was growing up and came in contact with a lot of people… and yet the only ones I’ve gotten BACK in contact with are ones that I managed to find doing my own searches. It makes me wonder. Was […]
