Alternative Housing Materials

I was watching FOX news this morning and they had a story about people in, I think it was, Florida that are using steel storage containers for housing material. These storage containers have sat at the harbor and were not being used. Builders are finding the steel to be an excellent material to use in [...]

The Golden Compass

I guess everyone has heard about this movie that is coming out next week. I suppose you’ve probably also heard about the trilogy of books that the movie is based on. The author, a Mr. Phillip Pullman, is not only a self proclaimed atheist, a hater of C.S. Lewis (and his Narnia tales) [...]

Hmmm…I Don’t Know About That.

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet…. a famous line, but is it true? Hmmmm….I don’t know about that.
I got a name book from the library a few weeks ago. It is very interesting. It contains lists of popular names and what years that they were the most popular. It has name [...]

Work That Makes You Happy

I’ve heard it said that if you find something in life that you love to do, it won’t seem like work. (even if it is!) Now, I did enjoy my teaching job. It was always more about my students then the actual teaching, I guess. I enjoy people so it is only natural that I’d [...]

It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

I’ve seen several people around here that have their lawns decorated for Christmas. Now when I say “decorated” I’m not talking a few lights, maybe a wreath on the door. I’m talking about yards that look like the Las Vegas strip. I’m talking about so much blinking that if I was prone to seizures, all [...]

I Just Can’t Help It

Alright, I admit it. I’ve been having a movie marathon over the past 2 days. I love watching the cheesy Christmas movies on ABC family. I just can’t help it. I know most of the movies have very predictable plots, the guy always gets the girl, and everyone is home for Christmas. Okay. Fine. But [...]

It’s all a part of the plan…

Scott and I have come to a conclusion. The house that we NEED is not any of the houses that we’ve been FINDING while on our house hunting adventure. I have scanned the internet and spoken with at least 4 different realtors. I have looked at houses until my eyes have crossed. We went on [...]

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all my family and friends.
May you look back with gratitude and look ahead with a good attitude. Take time to thank God for all He has done to bless…. and forgive yourself for all the rest.

I have a theory…

I have a theory that laundry multiplies faster than rabbits on speed. My theory suggests that for every one piece of laundry that must be washed, 2 more take it’s place. If one puts off doing the laundry for a few days than the pile of dirty clothes becomes unmanageable. I found some of Scott’s [...]

Samson has us trained

Samson is one of our cats. He is a long haired cat with a lopsided ear. He is a blackish-brown color (depending on the light). The thing is this–he is most definitely a cat, but he truly believes he is human. What is really scary is that in the morning I’m the only one up [...]
