This morning when I went to get Jane out of bed, I still had on my sleeveless nightgown. Jane noticed immediately.
Mommy’s got on a dress.
>It’s not a dress sweetie, it’s a gown.
Mommy’s got on a dress.
>Well, it looks like a dress, but it’s a gown.

I have some friends who are taking a financial management class called “Financial Peace University” at our church.
Just this week they told us a story from the class about a woman who had a bad day (at work, flat tire, etc.) and decided she “deserved a break” from cooking supper. She picked up McDonald’s […]

A have a very good friend who has recently become a Great Friend. Let me tell you why…

I’m making Paul’s favorite yellow cake today in honor of his birthday tomorrow (and since we’re having company tonight.) The recipe calls for Eagle Brand milk. MMMmmmm!
If you don’t happen to know what Eagle Brand milk is…well first let me say, “Man, are you missing out!” Eagle Brand milk is sweetened condensed milk that comes […]

If you’ve listened already, you’re probably either laughing hysterically right now, or you’re completely offended. Or both. If you’ve not listened, stop now and click the link above.
I laughed. Then […]

This past Sunday night I went to a Bible study at our church that is geared explicitly for women. It’s called “Simply Soul.” The women that conceived the idea for it desired to provide a place for women to study God’s Word (and little or nothing else) in a format that requires practically no commitment.

I just love chairs. I can’t help it. I guess the easiest explanation is, “Preference is irrational.”
I can’t tell you how many times Paul and I have been shopping for various pieces of furniture, and we have to have a meeting of the minds before we enter the store. Here’s the scene from the car:

Late last night, while I should’ve been sleeping, I sat down to blog. Before I blog, I thought to myself, I’ll just read my friends’ blogs and see what else is out there. A few clicks later, I was perusing the “Featured Bloggers” at Technorati.com, an amazing blog search engine.
