The Benefits of A Pre-paid TracFone

About a year ago my mother in law was out for a walk with her dogs when she fell and hurt herself really bad. She's 66 years old and sort of resistant to technology, but after she fell she had a change of heart. She had to go the hospital and had to get several MRI's and while we are thankful her injuries were not life threatening, we really wished she had a cell phone so she didn't have to walk back to her house to call 911. If she had broken her leg instead of just scraping it up, who…

i am an optimistic idiot

well dear reader, today i’ve been banging away on my lovely imac, learning how to use my newly installed lion system and discovering that i don’t know what i’m doing. this tremendously alarming detail might not come as much of a surprise to those i work with in my secret day job, but alas, it comes as a shock to me today.

the reason for this realisation, is that i have some homework to do and i don’t have the slightest idea as to what it is i’m supposed to do. i looked at the word…

Misfit: Why Can’t Jael Thompson Fit In at School?

Here's an excerpt from my book review for Misfit: Fifteen year old Jael (pronounced ya-el, emphasis on 2nd syllable) Thompson has never felt like she fit in. Of course it doesn’t help that her bitter ex-priest father has moved them around so much. It sometimes feels like she’s attended every school in the world. She’d give anything to stay at a school long enough to make lasting friendships and she really envies all the normal students who have a place to call home. Right now she’s attending… Continue

Sunday the Best Day

Favorite Day of Week

Ask most people you know the question; what is your favorite day of the week? For the most part the answer that you get will be Friday. Why is this you think? End of the work week, start of the party weekend, or start of the sports weekend are the answers that you will probably get out of most people. For me, if you ask what day is my favorite, I will tell you Sunday. When you give that as your answer most…

Respect Your Spouse

OK so I will be the first to admit after a lot of SOUL searching, I am not perfect and I don’t know everything. There are things that I do on an everyday basis that I don’t even realize I am doing that upset my wife beyond comprehension, and unfortunately I am not very sensitive to her feelings on the subject. This is something that I have to work on hardcore, and I mean really start to consciously start thinking…

Guest Post-My Sister

When my sister asked me to be a guest writer for her blog while she is on her much deserved vacation, I nearly panicked.

I look forward to each night, reading what my sister has shared- it seems to come to her with such ease. Most times she says things that I feel as well, especially when she talks about our family or lost loved ones.

So, here I sit, Housewives of New York City playing in the background, racking my brain with things to share. When the answer…

My dog is nuts, and it's driving me crazy.

When I say my dog's insane, people think I'm being mean or over-exaggerating. "But he's so cute, and you love him," they say. Well, he is cute, and I do love him, but he's freaking nuts. And really, what's not to love about a dog that lays under your bed for 2 hours, starting at 5 am, scratching and licking constantly? Well, today, I discovered that his craziness is only getting worse. But, don't you worry, I decided to document all of this with photos. It's about to get all… Continue
