My father-in-law sent me this in an email: The other day I was reading Newsweek magazine and came across some poll data I found rather hard to believe. It must be true given the Source, right? The Newsweek poll alleges that 67 percent of Americans are unhappy with the direction the country is headed and …
Saw this originally here, but also on several other blogs. My Peculiar Aristocratic Title is: Countess-Palatine Nancy the Festive of Grasshopper in the Hole Get your Peculiar Aristocratic Title You should know that if you first get a name that’s too weird or insulting (one of mine called me corpulent), just go back and try …
Thirteen More Gifts from God to Me! 1.(106) I got the Dept. 56 ornament I ordered off Ebay. It was only 99 cents before shipping! I want to have a little Christmas village to set up every year and add to each year. Steve said we should wait until Noah is older, but I decided …
Yesterday was not a great day here. I mean, I wasn’t feeling bad or anything, just wasn’t motivated to do anything – housework-wise. I did work on the slipper socks I’m making for Noah.
