I know, I know- I broke the cardinal rule of not talking about politics or religion. And most of the time, I manage to stay out of it. But, when politicians start invoking ideas from God, I can’t help but comment. Sorry if I was a downer to anyone yesterday, but I couldn’t let it go.
And actually, there [...]
Hope

I think my mumbo’s about to step on your jumbo.
Here’s what Barak said that God said:
“Let us keep that promise – that American promise – and in the words of Scripture hold firmly, without wavering, to the hope that we confess.”
And here’s what God really said:
(Hebrews 10:23) Let us hold fast the confession of our [...]

Well, I’ve been a little under the weather this week and have been hitting the sack early each night. I’m feeling a lot better today, but I think my blog muse must have fled the scene for awhile to make sure she didn’t catch whatever was ailing me.
So, all of this to say that I don’t [...]

This is a story about spray paint and how it fixes everything. Well, probably not everything and fix isn’t the right word, but work with me here. It’s been a long week.
I’ve been inspired by bloggers like the Nester who take ordinary, inexpensive objects and mistreat them into beautiful objects. I really haven’t been focused as much as I [...]

Today the WMD turns 28. No doubt he’ll spend most of it with his nose stuck in a book about Aristotle or singing the Hebrew alphabet to the tune of Beat It. Seriously, he had to do it to sing to his Hebrew class and that’s the song he chose. He’s clever like that. And like Weird Al Yankovich.
So, what did I get [...]
A conversation with my husband.

Me: So what do you want to be called on my blog?
Matthew: Why?
Me: I told you that I had to make it less lame and part of my grand plan to do so includes giving you a quirky nickname.
Matthew: What are my choices again?
Me: If you would read my blog, you would know what your [...]

So the other day I complained about how lame this blog was becoming. And then I talked about schnau-zas. And the economy. And Disney princesses. That’s how I roll. I’m deep like that. Real deep.
And Bagel and Finch, I have no idea who you are, but God bless ya. Thanks for leaving me a comment on [...]
I’m lame.

I’m lame. In the boring sense, not the physical one. Although, I often tell myself I’m lame and can’t possibly run as I’m approaching the treadmill each morning. Well, not really each morning. More like weekday mornings. Or at least four out of five weekday mornings. Or three. Like this week.
So how about that last [...]
A buck and his harem.
Posted in Uncategorized on August 14, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Well, harem probably isn’t the best word to describe it since there were only two does and a fawn, but I couldn’t think of a better term. We noticed the light deer in the upper right first while we were washing up after dinner last night. We stood in the kitchen and watched it for a [...]
