Traditions – An October Altered Book Challenge

Posted in Art, Family, Just my Thoughts on 31 October 2007 | Leave a Comment »

And what a challenge it was! I had visions in my head. I knew what I wanted to do. There were words flying around my mind. Then, I started looking for stamps that were representative of these words. I started looking through my drawers for things that said the words – ribbons, envelopes, pictures. I [...]

Tonight, one of my favorite shows will air. At 8 pm on ABC will be It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. I am partial to Charlie Brown shows but this is a fall classic. Not many others have Halloween shows. The fact that it is airing tonight – the night before Halloween – is wonderful [...]

A Speech Worth Reading

I have said it before. I include it in my profile on many, including dating, sites. I am a political junkie. I knew John Edwards was making a speech today. I knew I wouldn’t be able to listen. I went looking for the copy and found it. It is lengthy but well worth reading. It [...]

When do you print a name in the newspaper?

I realized this morning that I hold a double standard. As much as I would like to be a fair and unbiased person, I realized this morning I am not. A while back, there was a man in our area that was arrested on suspicion of several sex crimes with minors. The children allegedly involved [...]

src=\”http://momto6.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/1193614509-sc-302.jpg\” We all should, as adults, trot off to the ballot box at least once a year. Actually, if you live in New York State, it is twice a year as school district elections in all but the Big Five Districts are held in May and municipal and state elections in November. We should all, [...]

Creation Block

I am in a swap. The swap is abstract fabric postcards. I cannot seem to get unblocked. I had an idea. I wanted to use up all the various types of satin ribbon I have laying around. Trust me, there are spools of the stuff. I realized it was so narrow and was a problem [...]

How do you measure progress?

Posted in Just my Thoughts on 28 October 2007 | 2 Comments »

We all strive to be our best – whether in work, art, spirit or body. So when you start working out to be the best body you can be, how do you measure progress? Do you own scales that you are constantly on? I find this extremely deceptive as we all know muscle weighs more [...]

Does having a driver’s license mean you should own a car?

Posted in Family, Just my Thoughts on 26 October 2007 | Leave a Comment »

I know a strange question. I was 22 and about to be married when I got my first car. As a part of a couple, I helped make several car purchasing decisions. Then, after my marriage ended, I bought my first car on my own. When I was 16 and wanted my permit, my mother [...]

San Francisco

I am not a city girl. I love living in the setting I do. I am even outside of town and town is a small upstate village. I do have neighbors that I can see their homes but no sidewalks, sometimes no plows in a storm for hours. It doesn’t bother me at all. There [...]
