I look at my blog stats and I have to be thankful for the Russian spammers. They make the site visits so much higher. It is like sugar free, fat free cookies, empty and worthless, but we eat them anyways. We willingly accept falsehoods and trickery; we trick ourselves. And we play along with the [...]

Pandering in a shameless attempt to get free soda. Since I drink Diet Coke daily and have considered that the chemical build up might be a good resolution for the next decade, I have to find a substitute carbonation. I read Twelve 22 and had an Ah-Ha! moment. Today was my Christmas. My mother and oldest sister thankfully waited to celebrate my Christmas and exchange gifts until my sons came home. This was the year the boys got to spend Christmas with their father. It sounds like they had a great time with him and spent time with his very large family. Both [...] Tidings in the last few hours before Christmas, this long night before my Messiah was born. I often think of Mary and the request made of her by God. Pain and fear are relative and in modernity, far different creatures than in Bethlehem 2010 years ago. My labor and deliveries were both in sterile hospitals.

I think there are people that occupy spaces in our hearts that nothing and no one else can reside. Their suite is for them alone and when [...] If baking is how I deal with my stress, what would I do if I could bake for a living?

I had the [...] Somethings in life should not be rushed. A good meal should not be rushed. One should linger upon the subtle complexities of an aged scotch. To rush into it, to gulp it down allows you to stake the claim that you have done THAT THING, but did it really register? You cannot hasten my Aunt [...] I will trade you this for that. Is there ever a truly fair trade? When you desire something, you are willing to make an uneven trade. You give up more or take a loss. Eagerness is the enemy and craving makes you foolish. Maybe it is best to not allow yourself to crave something too [...] If you have not been following along, skip over to Loobylu’s Wednesday fling and check out the most talented cadre of peeps. I have thoroughly enjoyed dropping in on everyone elses’ blogs. In fact, once down the rabbit hole, I found some really wonderous new places. The Hotties for the week: Patty and Alex had [...] Swallow the blue pill. Drink the Kool-Aid. Accept the status quo. Buy a cookie cutter house in the planned community with the white picket fence and assert that you are an original because you drive a Saab or have a tattoo on your bicep. All those common trappings that we think make us different [...] |
