Jupiter and Venus were brilliant in the night sky last night. The entire sky was blaze with pulsating stars, actually. My camera could not capture it, but it did manage to pick up the planets. So lovely! Psalm 19 The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork. Day unto day [...]

Food By Color

Word Wrangling, The Ultimate Career and Other Stuff
Someone posted this quote by C.S. Lewis recently. At first I was surprised Lewis even said something like that, his thoughts and work always seemed to revolve around high falutin’ scholarly stuff. “The homemaker has the ultimate career.

It’s Just Not Worth It
I sold some stuff on an online auction site recently. I haven’t sold anything in a long time, so I naturally stuck with my traditional “low prices” and “free shipping” offers. Oh dear, that was a big mistake. For one, even though the items were listed at very low prices and the stuff got a [...]

Funnies Around the Interwebz #15
As I journey through the vast nothingness that is the Internet, I collect the funniest photos for you, so you don’t have to. Enjoy! Oh how true it is. I had an uncle who was a brilliant English teacher, and he loved his job. But sometime in the 1990s, education changed, he said. It was [...]

How Fast Do You Read?
Oh, anybody can read fast. I can read very fast (skimming) but I don’t retain the data when I read that fast. The key is understanding what you read! I found an interesting test (thanks for the link, Karen!) that tests how quickly you read AND comprehend. I think it’s a pretty cool test. Here [...]

Lenovo’s ThinkVision LT1421 – Wow!
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Lenovo for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. I’m a computer monitor FREAK. Some people obsess over their floors, others over their clothing. Me, I am a monitor NUT. I suppose it’s because a large chunk of my day, every day, is spent staring [...]
