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 [...]

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 [...]
