Thanks to all who sent your condolences here and on my other blogs and social networks, about the hack attack I suffered. I am happy to say that (Lord willing) the problem is resolved. My blogs are clean. Because of the nature of my web hosting (shared hosting), all my blogs (13 of them!) were [...]

Still Recovering….
April 21, 2012
…. I thought I’d pop in and say HI to everyone, since I have been missing in action lately. I finally finished the income taxes!!! :iquit: Good gravy, I was barely clinging to the sanity can with it all this year. WOW. So my life is sloooowly starting to come back. Everything has kind of [...]
The Open Window
April 17, 2012
We had quite the “scorcher” yesterday: hot, humid, hazy. We left the windows open last night lest we dissolve into a sweaty puddle and evaporate into nothingness overnight. April weather is generally very unsettled, so it was no surprise to wake up absolutely freezing the next morning. As I went to close the window, the [...]
Oh Dear, What a Slacker
April 6, 2012
The reason I haven’t been blogging much is because I’ve been exhausted! I’ve been working around the house or on the job, and by the time I finish at the end of the day (IF I finish then), I’m too, too tired to be witty and funny and entertaining. *thud* *** I heard my first [...]
Random Toodles #7891
March 29, 2012
I’m not quite sure if it was the big trip last week or what, but I have been utterly exhausted. There’s just been too much going on constantly and I really need to slow things down. Installing windows, spring cleaning, kids’ activities, work, etc etc. Hence my prolonged absence here and elsewhere. Zzzzzzzz *** When [...]
Daydreaming
March 3, 2012
I have never really felt compelled to write a post a day here but I do start to get a little concerned with myself when I have only written one or two a week. Because I maintain so many other blogs and websites, I’m usually always writing something, just not here. Yet for the past [...]
Smith Wigglesworth, Smoking Teeth and Other Things
February 26, 2012
Smith Wigglesworth As an ardent admirer of Kathryn Kuhlman, I have heard of Smith Wigglesworth. He was a plumber in Wales, born in 1859. He was an evangelist who did AMAZING miracles of healing. I don’t know what you believe about God still doing miracles– all it takes is one or two times to logically [...]
Saturday
February 25, 2012
It’s snowing out today. Very pretty snow, with big wet flakes. It’s brought to us by Lake Ontario and those pesky western winds. Hey you pals in Michigan– thanks for the weather. I like snowfalls like this. Everything settles down into a cozy peacefulness. And I am stricken with the sudden urge to cook, which [...]
Friday Fill In Meme #49
February 10, 2012
It’s Friday! I’m happy today because the sun is shining. Because I read John chapters 14 through 17 and it thrilled my heart. Because I am starting to get better after having a terrible cold all week. And I’m happy because I started a new blog (a resource blog for New York State travel) and [...]
Parable of the Day
January 19, 2012
A red-tailed hawk smashed into the side of the house this morning. We were in the living room, waiting for our morning coffee (and waiting and waiting and waiting) and I was also busy working on an ad campaign with an advertiser when all of a sudden we heard a loud BANG. *long silence* “What [...]

I’m a married mom with 4 kids. We live in Upstate New York in an old 1855 house with our five pets (yes, five, *sigh*). Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I do freelance writing and blogging. My work and opinions have appeared in Salon.com, USAToday, eHow.com, iMedia.com, the Associated Press and I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.
