ABCDEF Meme

I decided to do this after I saw it over at Bona Vita Rusticanda Est, The Common Room, and Dewey’s Treehouse. Yeah, I’m still here. A lot’s been going on and I will have more to tell. In the meantime, here’s a bone. ;o) A – Accent: It depends on whether I am talking to [...]

Of Squirrels, Fauns, Fireflies, & Little Girls

As Lucy Pevensie, you may be quite timid and shy, but your heart is in the right place! You make sure you tell the truth, even if it results in embarrassment. Hat tip to Mama Squirrel, who really should accept that even squirrels have facial hair.

Bioluminescence!

Pholph’s Scrabble GeneratorMy Scrabble Score is: 23.What is your score? Get it here. Scrabble and Scrabble-like games have always been favorites for me, so this little Scrabble score generator caught my attention. I am not big on playing online games, but I was recently introduced to Bookworm. If you decide to play, please don’t blame [...]

A Little Uke

This is just a little something I had to pass along to my musician friends out there. If you haven’t heard of Jake Shimabukuro, maybe you should check him out. I keep thinking… just four strings! Amazing. You can watch him play here and here. There’s also a nice interview of him here. Enjoy!

Two Things

I found this meme over at Quiet Life and thought it sounded fun. I have been sitting on my “Seven Things” post for a while. This one seemed a bit more manageable for the likes of me. I used to have a page devoted to “One Hundred Things About Me”. It was an ongoing project. [...]

Firefly, circa 1400 A.D.

Since my eldest is studying the Middle Ages this year, I thought this might be a fun test to take. Obviously, all those years of Catholic school and yearning to be a nun must have had some affect on me. The Prioress You are a moral person and are also highly intellectual. You like your [...]

Just What I Need

I know I should be writing something with more intellectual substance, but I’m afraid my intellect took a little vacation. This will have to do. While I was taking my stroll through the blogs, I came across something over at Walking Circumspectly that I couldn’t resist. “Here’s the drill: You google ‘[your name] needs’, except [...]

The Twenty-Third Post

Pat, over at Logopolis, recently tagged me with the following meme: 1. Search your blog archive.2. Find your 23rd post.3. Find the fifth sentence (this is meant to say something about you).4. Post that sentence in your blog along with these instructions.5. Tag five people to do the same. I am sure that Pat felt [...]

Bread and Jam

Here I sit eating bread and strawberry jam at a totally unreasonable hour of the night. Mmmm…Bread and jam. If I had a cup of tea with cream and sugar, I would be so happy. Instead, I drink my Aquafina. My keyboard is getting rather sticky. I am in training. I must stay up as [...]
