Bobby of Revellian Dot Com tagged me for his Blogging for Friendship writing project. What a nice way to spread a little happiness around the blogosphere!
I have been blogging since November 2004, and the experience has been amazing. I’ve always enjoyed expressing myself through the written word, but I never imagined that I [...]

Here are brand new photos of my babies!

As you can tell, both Molly and Cruella are doing well.  It has been more than six months since Cruella battled two surgeries, peritonitis, and cancer.  She almost didn’t make it, but thanks to some amazing doctors, and the amazing power of prayer, she’s now very healthy and [...]

Look what my dear friend Mike surprised me with!

I am completely awestruck.  I think this is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me.  And doesn’t it look just like me?
I hoped to find the perfect words for this post, but I’m darn near speechless.
Thank you so much, Mike!

Last night a friend and I had a lengthy discussion about crushes.  In particularly, we discussed just when a crush is more than a crush.  After much thought, I have decided to publish my conclusions.
Let us first define the word “crush”.  In my opinion, a crush is an admiration from afar.  Though crushes vary from [...]

I come from a very crafty family.  My maternal grandmother cross stitched.  My mother handcrafted dolls and stuffed animals.  Fortunately, their do-it-yourself talents were passed down the family tree.
My grandmother taught me to cross stitch.  She tried to teach all the girls in the family, but I’m the only one who took a real shine [...]

Today’s happy thought is dedicated to my friend Mike of Ordinary Folk.
I have known Mike for only a few months, but it seems like much longer.  Since we met through our blogs, we have become great friends.  We chat on Yahoo Messenger nearly every night, and we even started a shared blog, BlogsWeLuv, together.  We [...]

It’s a nice, clear, beautiful night. The stars are incredibly bright. Sure would be a great night to spread a blanket on the lawn and sleep under the stars with a special someone!

Hurray for good animated films!
My brother let me borrow The Emperor’s New Groove a while back, and I finally got around to watching it tonight.  It was a very enjoyable movie with a very nice message.  I laughed more during this movie than probably any other Disney film I’ve seen.  I just put the sequel, [...]

I didn’t post a happy thought yesterday, but I have a good excuse. My active social life sometimes cuts into my blogging time.  I didn’t feel so well last night.
When I got home from work today, I had an offline Yahoo message from my friend Melissa. She asked, “hmmm…weren’t you happy about anything [...]
