Probably not the best title for this but it is sort of about the internet. I truly believe that life-long learning is extremely important. It must be as many careers that shape our world – teaching comes to mind first – require continuous education. I have made it my “job” in life to keep learning.… Continue reading Internet – Good or just there?
I was talking with a friend over Yahoo! messenger the other day. Some comment was made that he had just shaved his head. I, in turn, offered up my son as having shaved his head most of his college years. It was a turn on for the girls. That left me a bit a shaken.… Continue reading Bald?
… otherwise known as fall is upon us. It is 9 am ET and the sun is shining brightly. The temperature is only 45F. This is definitely a sign of fall coming or even being here. More of an outward sign is the fact that I got up this morning and knew I would have… Continue reading Cool Weather …
I am crushing on … pumpkin. The GPP Street Team\’s Crusade #12 is what are you crushing on. Well, I am – as always at this time of the year – obsessing and crushing on pumpkin. I love the color – a true pumpkin, not a burnt orange but a pumpkin orange. I would easily… Continue reading Crushing on … Pumpkin
I was flipping through some blogs that friends write. I came across the most awesome idea at GPP Street Team. Crusade #12 is about crushing. Not crushing, necessarily, in that old-fashioned middle school or college way. Crushing as in what exactly is it you obsess over. What causes you to be filled with infatuation? I… Continue reading Crusade #12
I am not a big plastic grocery bag user for starters. I have this cool little and very durable bag for the grocery called a Chico Bag. Mine is a really pretty purple, but I digress. You are probably wondering what the title has to do with the picture. Well, I made beads for jewelry… Continue reading Plastic Grocery Bags
The weather is absolutely invigorating. The cool, crisp air that is coming into the house through the still opened windows. The bright, late summer sunlight. The clean feeling! While I try not to play favorites with the seasons – I like them all in their own time for their own reasons, I love this time… Continue reading Invigorating
After yesterday, the house is in desperate need of attention. My son is bringing home his girlfriend this weekend. While this is not a new concept for me – my oldest brought home a couple girls from college, this is new in a way. It is the first time he has brought home a girl… Continue reading Cleaning Up
I was just watching CNN. There was this wonderful story on twins that were born in Connecticut on September 11, 2001. The news story talked about how the girls, as they got a bit older – four or five, thought they were the cause of the problems and why everyone felt sad that day. They didn’t realize,… Continue reading A Different Kind of Sept 11th Memory
Several years ago – as my daughter started her junior year at college last month – I made three bamboo tile bracelets. These were made for my daughter and her two best friends just before their high school graduation. I stamped, colored, coated the tiles with various items that were each girl\’s interests. Then, I… Continue reading Bracelets
