No, I am not going to turn this blog into a celebration of the Saints and their various Feast Days, but I still need to just say this one thing: Today is the Feast Day of Blessed Agnello of Pisa. He was of the Franciscan Order and was admitted into the Order by St. Francis of Assisi himself --...

Do you get those daily emails from the HARO (Help A Reporter Out) PR and Marketing list? I do. I had 2 nanoseconds left in my daily schedule so I thought, Hey! Why not sign up for yet another e-list and read some more emails? This morning, there was a listing on HARO that caught my eye because I...

I grew up in Cleveland, where we never once did not go to school because of weather. It just never would have occurred to us: Weather??!! In Cleveland, we had nothing but weather. So we always simply bundled up and merrily trekked off to school. Today is a snow day around here. There is, literally...

Okay!! Joyousness. What a word!! Who knew that the spell check wouldn't start peeling out a million bells and whistles at that word?? And yet, it did not, so it must be a bona fide word. (Although it does still insist that "bona fide" is/are not (a) word(s).) Yes. Punctuation. I got a million of '...

...to like the Oscars, but the show just makes me cringe. It isn't that I think awards are stupid -- I, personally, love getting awards so I can understand why the chance to win an Oscar is a big deal for people, but it's that darn show that I can't stand. Last night, I lasted 45 minutes before...

After about 5 or 6 incredibly productive hours of Skyping with my screenwriting partner, Kevin, in New York, Bunny and I kicked back on the bed. Bunny is 11 now. I am considerably older. As always, we had a very nice night. (What would I do without my furry companionis?) (I mean, besides spell...

It doesn't matter if you can't carry a tune, I'm positive you can still sing! And today, singing is required, gang!! Yay! This song came to me yesterday because I have a friend I'm worrying over. And when I worry about him, this song always comes to mind. So I thought I would share it with all...

I know, it's trendy to call it "Hump Day" but not only is that an ugly sounding phrase, I personally have no mid-point in my weeks because I never, ever, ever stop working. I have no "hump" to get over because I never get to the end of a "work week." I am a certified -- well, perhaps not...

What could be finer than a national holiday set aside for citizens to barely notice anything different at all except that the mail doesn't get delivered!! Yay!!! However, when I was a wee bonnie lass, we actually celebrated Lincoln's and Washington's birthdays in school. We knew when their...

One thing about being around children and being responsible for their welfare in some way -- you start to learn who you really are. Last Tuesday, I passed my home inspection and now the 10-year-old girl that I mentor is allowed to have sleepovers at my house. (This program is very similar to...

...while it lasted!! It has now been blocked due to copyright infringements, after something like 29 million views. (I am not exagerrating, either.) (I am misspelling "exagerating" but I am not exaggerating!) And here I had been thinking, Oh how cool! You can see all this film footage and hear...

That's how jam-packed my life is these days, gang. Too much is going on for me to even focus at this point. I thought English Comp 2 was intense and that Bible Study Methods would be a breeze in comparison, but, so far, I was dead wrong.... (I currently have to read a 24 page article from the...
