In September 2010, the priest at my church asked me and my mother if we wouldn’t mind making a trip to Ohio to pick up some statues that he had ordered. He commissioned a set of Adoring Angels for our church. To have them shipped to Chicago would have cost about the same as … Continue reading »

Letting my geek flag fly
BBC News – Venus and Jupiter to pass in the night sky. Here’s a bit of information that not everyone knows about me…I used to be a science geek. Yes, it’s true. I spent the first 2 1/2 years of college as a Physics and Astronomy major. You see, my dream was to work for … Continue reading »
We can quote Shakespeare, but that doesn’t mean he’s right (Or, don’t call me a thistle or a skunk cabbage)
I’m sure that I’ve just committed some form of heresy by typing the title of this entry. If any of the 2 or 3 of you who read these posts take offense, please accept my apologies. In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Juliet stands at her balcony pining for her love – and family enemy – Romeo. … Continue reading »
March Madness – And it ain’t about basketball
Short post here tonight. I have an idea for March. I want to blog something every day of the month. Even if it’s just a few sentences or a couple of paragraphs. I want to see if I can do it. Since I don’t have an idea for a writing topic this evening, I thought … Continue reading »
If I were artsy-fartsy, I’d probably have a better blog
I’ve spent about 3 hours looking through new themes for this web page. Previewed each one that I thought might be interesting; each that might be “me”. If it was pink, I passed. If it was all flowery, I passed. If it looked way too light and airy, I passed. If it looked too complicated, … Continue reading »
Confessions of an office supply junkie
I made a purchase today. A purchase that pleased me quite a bit. I bought a Rolodex! Okay, so it’s a small Rolodex. But still, I got rather giddy when I “checked out.” Sure, I could use the Outlook contact list. But what happens if my work computer crashes? (It just might any day now.) … Continue reading »
My quandary: Continue as is, make changes, or start over.
So, here’s the thing. I wrote something. Well, I started writing something – fan fiction. I started it years ago. I posted what I wrote as I went along and collected feedback from readers. Most of it was good feedback. It was encouraging. The problem is, I stopped with chapter 14b. I sort of left … Continue reading »
Thank goodness for adaptability!
One of the questions the recruiters on my team ask candidates deals with their ability to adapt to change in the workplace. You know, your company has a new policy or some sort of new technology…how do you deal with this change in your routine or workflow? Typical stuff, but oh so important. While my … Continue reading »
Oh, I seem to be bad at this
It’s been quite a few days since I’ve posted anything. That makes me wonder if I actually have anything of significance to say. What can I write about? I don’t like talking about politics, so that’s out. I haven’t had time, really, to sit and write a book review or two…though I’m hoping I’ll find … Continue reading »
It’s official…
In 30 days (a bit less right now, actually), I will officially be on vacation! Two weeks of traveling through the southeastern United States. Spending a couple of days in Tunica, MS – Harrah’s Casino and Paula Deen’s cooking. Then a night in Tallahassee, FL – just to rest up from a day of driving … Continue reading »
