This was a movie weekend. We spent yesterday evening and this afternoon and evening watching the movies from NetFlix that had accumulated. I like the whole NetFlix concept. They arrive fast and easy, in the mail. With a queue established, I only have to update it once in awhile. [...]

Grammatically Speaking . . . and Spelling
Posted in life, teaching on January 27, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Today as I drove down the street I noticed a car with this written on the back windshield: “Mom ur the best”. I don’t text message but I assume this comes from that format. My first thought was “Oh no, another reason for people to screw up words.” There are plenty [...]
“The Cascading Paint Effect”
Posted in home on January 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
You’ve probably already experienced this. You just didn’t know it had a name! This is what Bruce named what happened to us earlier this year.
Last September I said, “Let’s paint the master bedroom.” I was tired of the plain white walls and the ivy wallpaper border. Time for a change. [...]
Shopping, Rain and Pets

Last night the weatherman said it might snow today. Because that is so rare here, we’ve been sitting here waiting, almost. It’s been raining all day, a cold, drippy day. The pets are rather put out on rainy days. The cats go from door to door, hoping it’s not raining at [...]
Coffee Time

We are a two coffee pot family now. It seems weird, however, we really needed more than one. Two years ago my cardiologist said I had to give up caffeine. I hate to admit it, but as soon as I did, I started feeling better. I love coffee so much I [...]

When the Big Lots circular is the most interesting item in the mail, you know it will be a slow day. Thus, it was also a good day to clear 500 messages from the in-box on my email.
Also, it is cold again. Of course, it is winter, however, since we have had pleasant [...]
Very Classy

The other day I mentioned how I place importance on classes. It’s my teacher mentality and all that. Classes paved my way to career success, so I think of them quite highly.
I am currently taking a yoga class that meets three times a week and two separate American Sign Language classes. [...]
Exercise: Body and Mind
Posted in life, teaching on January 8, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Last fall I joined a gym. Something I thought I’d never do. However, I had gotten hooked on Pilates last year and it wasn’t being offered again at that same location. So when I found out the gym near me had yoga classes, that was it. Two different people teach [...]
What a Crock
Posted in food on January 6, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I love slow cookers. I love them so much I’ve even worn out one. On another I melted the lid one day — DON’T put them in the oven. Immediately I was on the net ordering a new lid. The knob fell off and I just go get the pliers and turn [...]
Christmas and Clean-up
Posted in home, religion on January 5, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Today we took down the Christmas trees and put away the Father Christmas collection. Technically we have one more day until the Feast of the Epiphany so I left the nativity scene on the mantel, but I couldn’t wait for the trees. I didn’t want to do it tomorrow after church and I’m going to [...]
