by | Posted in Thoughts | 0 comment

I brought work home last night, but as fate would have it, I ended up not working. H’s laptop couldn’t read my diskette. I almost moped because I had my heart set on finishing my report last night, but then I thought moping wouldn’t do anything. It was a blessing in disguise. As I calmed […] Read more…

Honor your parents :)

That’s the 4th commandment right? Anyway, I honored my Dad last night in a wild, happy way: we gave him a surprise party! ‘Twas my idea, and it was perfect because everyone close to our family was present (even my in-laws and my sister’s boyfriend’s father!).

I’ve always been a collector. I’ve collected stationery and stickers during my gradeschool days.

The country girl in me wants to start collecting pitchers. I […] Read more…

A new home for earrings

I don’t have a jewelry box because I don’t own that much jewelry. Most of my accessories are very casual, like beads, so I just hang them from little wooden knobs on the wall.
