  • Asking for Trouble

    We watched the movie "War of the Worlds" last night - the one with Tom Cruise. Pretty intense! For the most part I liked it. It's always interesting to see a story about people who are in a strained relationship sudde…

  • Learning from The Sims

    Have you ever played the computer game called "The Sims"? It's an enthralling, imaginative, and surprisingly life-like game in which you create people and run their lives: who they are friends/enemies with, where they…

  • Randomizer

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! It's hard to believe but it's almost 2009! I know it's going to be a good year and I can't wait to see what God's going to do. (she said with great faith) We've been with my hubby'…

    We let the cat in last night. The little cat we've been petting, then feeding, then growing attached to...the cat we thought was a girl. John took it to the vet today and lo and behold, it's a boy! It's also very heal…

  • Guilty of Giving Up

    This morning as I was nearing time to get up I was having a dream about my brother-in-law. That might sound kind of strange but let me give you a brief history. He's my hubby's younger brother and someone who was a big…

  • My brain was emptying the trash

    That's my theory: when we dream it's just our brains emptying the trash. Our clever brains take all the thoughts, worries, fears, desires, and other various mish-mash in our heads and combine it all into bizarre melodr…

  • The Brave Wuss

    Lately, especially this past year or so, I'm seeing that I've entered the next "stage" of life. My daughters are all teenagers, I'm no longer a "young mom" or grade-school mom. I even found some gray hairs a few weeks ag…
