Cross, Maple Leaf or Marijuana?

I finally made it to an Ash Wednesday Mass today – at the 7 pm service at Sacred Heart.  This may not sound impressive to anyone, until you realize that I intended to make it to the 7 am at St. Mark’s, then when that didn’t work out, the noon service at Sacred Heart, then [...]

Does it count?

If I give up TV for lent, but allow myself to watch the news with hubby, does that count?  Am I cutting myself too much slack?  I’m torn because I live with a man who is as fond of the TV as I am, and we often spend an hour or two each night watching the [...]

Validation

I found the following video over at June Cleaver with a Six Pack.  It’s a little long, but to her point – what were you going to be doing in the next 15 minutes anyway?  Surf other sites?  Do laundry or make dinner or clean the bathrooms?  This is much more fun, I promise.

Little Girls Lost

Last night I watched TLC’s Toddlers & Tiara’s about moms who have their daughters perform in Pageants, and I just about crawled right on out of my skin.

What the heckfire!?!?!  How do these moms delude themselves into thinking this is a positive experience for their little girls?  From full on makeup – more than I wore [...]
