Some Things Are Too Funny NOT To Post

So I considered holding off on this post until after the holiday…especially since I’m busy and the content of it is well, a wee bit on the “controversial” side. But I’m afraid I just couldn’t wait anymore.  I’m STILL laughing anytime I think about a short conversation that occurred in the car on the way [...]

Peace…Love…Joy

I’m pretty sure this is the longest I’ve ever gone without posting on my blog…but that just means I’ll have THAT much more to say when I finally get around to catching up, right????

How Do You Pin A Wave Upon the Sand??

Image via Wikipedia Yeah.  Feeling a bit like Maria this week.  A flibbertijibbet. A will-o’-the wisp. A clown.  That’s me. Running to and fro, too busy to know exactly where I’ve just been or where I’m headed next, and hoping that if I get to the place I’ve already been, I’ll remember where I was [...]
