My cousin is getting married in Texas this fall. Bill and I thought we might attend, but I realized yesterday that it means I’d have to wear pantyhose! I haven’t worn pantyhose since my grandmother’s funeral several years ago. That’s one of the benefits of being a California homeschool mom! What [...]

We’re all Nazis now

The Holocaust was such an enormous, almost incomprehensible, evil, that comparisons to other events are impossible. To do so devalues the lives of the 6 million souls who died during the Holocaust.
To make a reasonable comparison, the other event would have to involve the deaths of millions of people. Perhaps the Khmer Rouge [...]

I used the word “purport” last Friday in a blog post. Today, she used the word “purportedly” TWICE in her post. Coincidence? Hmmm.

I was awake for a few hours during the night. I blame the rain, but sometimes God wakes me up to pray. I wrestle with it…”No, God, I am NOT going to pray right now, I’m going to sleep.” But really there’s no arguing with Him.

This was in the comics a couple of weeks ago. Does it remind you of anybody you know?

If you’re reading this, then you know I’m giving WordPress a whirl.
My main reason for the switch is that I wanted to change some things about my blog. So this seemed as good a time as any to try a new host which seems to have all the same features as the old one but [...]

Thing 1 got a new t-shirt:
From blog
And I wrote haiku in honor of it:
Emo kids take note
Shakespeare hates your poetry
Try haiku instead
OK, after I wrote this I realized it might be misunderstood. Haiku IS poetry, so to say try haiku “instead” might be read that it’s instead of poetry – which doesn’t make sense. What [...]
