have some compassion…

i have sponsored a child through compassion, Christian child advocacy ministry, for a few years now and [...]

peta is petty…

wow, i never knew that defending animals against cruelty could turn so…well, petty. i recently stumbled across peta2’s site dedicated to the olsen twins because the girls have recently created a new line of clothing and they’re including fur. but oh, the site is soooooooooo mean.
anyway, this is from the “meet the trollsen twins” site where [...]

morning french fries…

it amazes me how toddlers process information…or don’t. and it also amazes me how they assume that when they want something, no matter what it is, that it will just magically appear. perhaps that’s because that’s the way it’s been their entire little lives so far.

and it’s not like i volunteered to come in because [...]

this site was created by xerox and it’s as easy as pie to get your message to a soldier during the Christmas season!

i won!! i won!!

i mentioned recently that i didn’t think i’d win a prize for nablopomo, and i was right. i didn’t win a darn thing for blogging every day during the month of november. and trust me, you would’ve known by now if i’d won something because i’d be blabbing about it. but it’s all good because [...]

the nephew…

last weekend my sis-in-law went out of town to celebrate her big 23rd birthday and instead of living la vida loca and joining the party train, we were penciled in to babysit our nephew kody. i think this whole plan was my husband’s suggestion and for some odd reason he really, really seemed excited about [...]
