Mary, Queen of Pizza…

I get having faith. Especially when you live in a neighborhood that has problems with gangs. You might need something to cling to for belief. But seeing a vision of Mary in a pizza pan? Hundreds of people coming to pray to a pizza pan? People driving here from Corpus [...]


Strange…

Anna Nicole Smith collapsed and died today. After having her in and out of the news for the past 13 years, it is just strange to think that at 39 she is suddenly dead.
Maybe it is just me, but this really doesn’t make me want to rush out and try TrimSpa any time soon.


Because One Can Never Blog Enough…

Ok, so I wrote this great post. And Jesus Saves, but I don’t, so it was lost instead of posting. Ack. Oh well - here it goes again. I’ve decided to move the knitblogging content over to PointySticks. I will cross-post here for a little bit, and continue to post [...]


I Didn’t Want To. I Really Didn’t Want To…

I didn’t want to watch “America’s Got Talent.” It looked way too cheesy. All of the commercials made me cringe. I just did not want to watch it.
When we turned on the TV tonight, it was on.
We got sucked in. All three of us are sitting here, just waiting for the [...]


Lay and Skilling are Found Guilty…

It made me quite happy today to turn on the TV and discover that the jury was already back on the Enron trial, and the jurors found Lay and Skilling guilty. I worked with people that were hit financially by the Enron collapse, and even now I feel a twinge of bitterness every time [...]


Cookie!

How can you not love watching old school Sesame Street videos? You know, from back before Elmo came on and the whole show changed? Man, I love Sesame Street. And cookies.

Kid Safe Movies…

Mike was talking about taking Jason to the movies later, and as we tossed around different movie suggestions, I was reminded of Kids-In-Mind: Movie Ratings That Actually Work. If you want to know ahead of time if a movie is violent or too racy for your child to see, this site is great. [...]


Swap Time!

I meant to write about this awhile back, and then the whole new car thing and tests made my brain flake out and I forgot. Doh! (Sorry about that, Sarah!) Anyways … it is time for a CD Swap! Get excited! Sign Up!
The theme this time is music that you [...]


I’m Avoiding My Biology Book Right Now…

I have a Biology lab practical on Thursday, followed by a Biology test next Tuesday (over a week away, not 2 days from now) and a Chemistry test this Wednesday. Wednesday is also Mike’s birthday. So I need to study for the Biology lab practical now so I don’t have to study on [...]


Wanna Trade?

Last year, we bought a Tivo that came with a special deal - buy a year of service in advance and get a Tivo for free. So we did it. Now I need to set it up - but I can’t give myself the Tivo Rewards points. So, anyone want to trade? [...]


Be Bold! Be Daring!

I just received my copy of “The Daring Females Guide to Ecstatic Living” in the mail today. I had already checked out the Daring Female website last week, so I was really curious to see what the book would offer.
I amuse myself when the first thing I think as I open the [...]


Project Runway…

My sentiments on the finale are below. I just watched it today, but I managed to avoid all spoilers. Whew!
— AVERT YOUR EYES NOW if you don’t want to know who won Project Runway. AVERT! —


Loving the Project Runway…

I love Project Runway. I adore Project Runway. And this weekend, I have finally caught up on watching Project Runway. Yay! So now I could finally read all the fabulous recaps on fourfour and Blogging Project Runway. Oh my goodness, I’m in pain now from all the laughter.
Fourfour has many [...]


I Can’t Stop Rolling My Eyes…

Last year in front of the Supreme Court the RIAA’s lawyers said it was perfectly legal within the realms of “Fair Use” to take your own CDs and convert the songs into mp3s to put on your own iPod. Now they are trying to say that it isn’t legal.
Whatevah!
If I own the [...]
