Ugh

Sorry for the lack of posting.  I had intended to post a few witty, funny observations yesterday but started feeling under the weather.  At first I thought it was food poisoning (I ordered chicken salad sandwich for lunch out that day, and hubby says that is one of the worst offenders for making people sick).  [...]

No, I’m not smoking dope

  
But if I were, I think my eyes would look pretty much the same.  Rather, this is the result of the dialation drops my Retina doctor put in my eyes yesterday.  For those of you who don’t remember, I started seeing gray spots late last year and ended up at the Retina Specialists office with [...]

April Showers

Does anyone else think the “Big Weatherman in the Sky” is just taunting us?  Sunshine one day, showers the next…  Or worse, starting the day with warm sunny skies (the kind that make you wear a skirt and new heels and leave your heavy coat at home) and ending it with gale force winds and torrential [...]

Vanity, Vanity

So, having this newly pierced nose has tripled the amount of time I spend looking into a mirror.
One might think I’m busy admiring how fabulously my new haircut, glasses and nose jewelry coordinate together.  (And they really do, by the way)  However, one would be wrong.
Rather, I spend the majority of my time looking up my [...]

She said it…not me

“I once had a rose named after me and I was very flattered.  But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue:
“No good in a bed, but fine up against a wall.”

Laundry
Dusting/Vacuuming
Dishes from last nights dinner
Return Library Books
Go to the office for a couple hours to “get ahead” for the week
Spend some time spiritually preparing for the Easter [...]

Admit it…you’re curious

Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Vigil – also known as the Triduum within the Catholic church – these are some of the most beautiful and important liturgical days of the year.  Although I wasn’t able to make it to all the services this year, I thought I’d post a brief synopsis to give you [...]

Finally Finished

Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous book.  It really causes one to pause and think about the hundreds of decisions, snap-judgements, and unconcious thoughts we have each day.  If you are normally a fiction reader, looking to branch out, this is a great book to pick up.  Easy to read and insightful enough to make you take a [...]

Note to Easter Bunny

Lest my previous post have you convinced that I’m on a downward spiral of introspection, let me reassure you that in this isolated moment, I have only one concern.

Whose going to be responsible for my Easter basket this year?! 
Informational Note:
Robin’s Eggs, Jelly Belly’s, Chocolate Bunnies = Good. 
Peeps, Cadbury Cream Eggs, Reeses anything = Yucky.

Palm Sunday

For those of you who don’t know, today was Palm Sunday.  I attended the evening mass tonight and was reminded of how beautiful the liturgy of the church is during this period of the church year.  For those of you unfamiliar with the Catholic faith, today marks the beginning of Holy Week, the week prior [...]
