Last night, a few of our good friends met for our regular Monday night “meeting.”
It originally began as a “Youth Leader” meeting, and all the youth leaders from UPC were invited for a time of food, fun, and “catching up” on the youth news from the week.
Oh yeah, and we watched “Lost.”
Now that Paul is […]

At the “
Behold the Lamb of God” concert last night, I was introduced to the music of Eric Peters.
And I was enthralled.
There’s something about live music…it penetrates all my hardened layers and renders me defenseless and aching to live the kind of life that good songwriters write about.

The strangest things keep happening to me.

It was signed “Amy.”
Based on the email address, I guessed it was not my “Amy.”
So I hit “Reply” and wrote back, “I did. Who are […]

At long last, here are a few photos from Halloween.
“Plain” Jane
“Peanut” Elizabeth
A pirate, the M&M, and a princess
Yes, I made the costumes. Yes, I did swear multiple times while making them. No, I am not completely happy with the results (mostly Elizabeth’s, whose costume I did first, and consequently learned what NOT to do). Yes, […]

I am awake. Wide awake. It is 12:35am. I went to sleep just after 10:30pm.
The reason I am awake is because I just found a cockroach crawling in my pajama top.
No, you did not just misread that sentence.
Here’s the important part again: A cockroach in my pj’s.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deep in the cloud of good sleep, I […]

…there is a label on the handle of my new 12″ stainless steel frying pan that says, and I quote,
Always use low to medium heat setting as high heat setting will cause overheat to damage the pan.

I have lots to say (as usual), but no time to collect my thoughts, and even less time to sit down and blog. (Too busy keeping my house clean so that it will SELL!)
In the meantime, here’s an little quiz to keep things interesting at The Catbird Seat. I just knew I’d either be 5-years-old […]

I’ve been meaning to blog about this for months now, but for some reason, I hesitated.
I’m so glad I did, because what started out as one friend finding me (and my blog) has turned into not two, but three.
One from Butler, Pennsylvania, another from Pullyallup, Washington, and the final one from Bowling Green, Kentucky. […]
