DO U TXT?

We upgrade phones just before Christmas to these fun and text worthy phones — the LG enV2. Yep…all seven of us (that includes my parents, who are also on our plan) trudged into the Verizon store on a blustery day to satisfy my texting needs. Okay, no, it wasn’t all just for my texting needs. [...]

Even St. Thomas Becket thinks I’m an idiot

On my iGoogle page, I have the Saint of the Day gadget. I like this gadget, as it tells me what the feast day is for the day. As the day changed over after midnight, I noticed that the saint of the day had changed to St. Thomas Becket. Immediately, I was surprised. “Hey,” I [...]

Can you name that tune?

I found this fun meme on my online friend Mimi’s Blog (Bigger than a Breadbox), and I just couldn’t resist trying it out on my blog too. It reminded me of when my friend Christine and I used to make tapes with just snippets of songs and try to “Name that Tune.” Here are the [...]

Many Little Links: The Christmas Edition

Christmas found me taking some unplanned time off from blogging. It was a nice little break, although we certainly kept very busy. I spent quite a bit of time on the 23rd and 24th finishing up baking for my last set of homemade Christmas goodie baskets. We then attended a Christmas Vigil Mass. Let me [...]

Subtle and Yummy Almond Breton Biscuits

This year is the first time that I made Almond Breton Biscuits. I saw the recipe in Better Homes and Gardens Christmas Cookies, and I knew that I had to try them because of the sugar on the outside. You know, I do have a thing for sugars and sprinkles. These yummy and subtle cookies [...]

The 12 Days of Christmas (Revisited)

Last year I posted “The 12 Days of Christmas” from Straight No Chaser, and this year, there is a new recording on YouTube of the same song. (It’s still them, just a different performance of it.) I was also excited to see that they have a Christmas album now, so I downloaded about five or [...]

All She Wants for Christmas is a Dollhouse

Molly has taken to point to a dollhouse each time we go to Target and inform me that she really hopes that she gets it for Christmas. Today, this desire apparently grew. While sitting at the counter eating breakfast, Molly looked at me and told me that she really, really wanted a dollhouse for Christmas. [...]

Can a Monkey Drive a Car?

As heard in our van… Molly (age 4): Can you teach a monkey to drive? Mom: Drive a car? Molly: Yeah. Can you teach a monkey to drive a car? Mom: Hmmm…I guess you can. Molly (with a knowing laugh before starting up): Yeah, when I was a mommy and you were just a little [...]

Many Little Links: The Wind Chill Edition

Tomorrow is the official first day of winter, but it already feels chillingly cold here. As a matter of fact, we just watched as the weather guy suggested that if people don’t have to go out tomorrow, then they should stay in and keep warm. So, while I try to keep warm, I’ll let you [...]

iPod Shuffle Winner!

Sorry that I didn’t do the drawing for the iPod Shufle last night! But, now that I have some free time this afternoon, I counted up comments on the original post, as well as emails with the secret code. I was planning to count through the comments first, and then onto the emails. (So, for [...]
