Oreo Accident

Can I just say that I'm very sad that the truck accident that caused 14 tons of double-stuffed Oreos to spread across an Illinois Interstate caused such traffic grief...and I sure hope that the truck driver is okay...but, wow, would that be an amazing sight to see!Did drivers get out and scavenge?I keep thinking of all those recipes calling for "coarsely crushed Oreo … [Read more...]

Occasionally I ask these questions of others.Kerry at The Ten 0'Clock Scholar proposed that I ask them of my blog-readers.

7 Ways to Enjoy Everyday Fun with Chores

Daily life can be such a drag, so blah. The chores can be tedious. The drive to work, dull. Some days can be reduced to scrub, swipe, fold, wash, rinse, repeat; others, to conquering an overwhelming to-do list or in-box. One way to approach the daily grind is simply to take a deep breath and dig in, applying self-discipline, determination, willpower, and grit. … [Read more...]

You. Are. Blessed.

During the festival, I spent time with several single people. I was walking with one of them to a lecture and mentioned that I was blogging. He said that some friends of his were bloggers, as well. I asked if they had a particular topic that they focused on, or if they just wrote about life.He said that one of them was married, and she and her husband were trying to have a … [Read more...]

She remembered the transatlantic flight we shared in 2005, and the descent that led to my child's airsickness. She remembered how my husband and I mopped up vomit as the plane landed. She remembered handing me a paper … [Read more...]

A boring slide show of someone's vacation pictures

I'm on the lookout for Floridian faces in places, but haven't seen any yet.I'd like you to see that we did get a sunny day yesterday.I went jogging one afternoon—the first jog in several weeks, I blush to admit—along the beach. I rounded that bend in the distance, not knowing what would be on the other side. We’re in a very undeveloped part of Florida, and as I rounded it, … [Read more...]
