Rearview Mirror

Posted in About Me, Meta-blogging on December 31, 2008 | 21 Comments »

It’s not easy coming up with a “year in review” post title that hasn’t been done to death. So yea, rearview it is.
Looking back, quite a lot happened here this year, especially for a place where not much happened. I mean, I simply didn’t write much in 2008. And yet…
Early in the [...]

We had a lovely Christmas. It started with our beautiful daughter coming into the bedroom to wish us Merry Christmas.
::some backbround::Weeks ago, I walked past LG as she was reading her email, and I caught a glimpse of “fat man grabs…” and something that looked like “..ass.” I have cautioned her about friends [...]

“I hear the potatoes singing.”

Posted in Faith, Family, Meta-blogging, Sharing on December 24, 2008 | 15 Comments »

OK, that is what my husband just said, while I was trying to think of a name for this post. They’re baking potatoes, and they’re in the microwave wrapped in plastic. (Don’t judge me.) It’s a post about quotes, and that is a quote, and it’s not one you’ll read anywhere else.

Ode to Edward: One Mom’s Dissent

Posted in Family, I'm Just Sayin'..., tagged , , , , on December 9, 2008 | 42 Comments »

I first became aware of Stephenie Meyer’s “Twilight,” a couple of years ago, when I read on a tweens’ blog-hosting site how a number of pre-adolescents would JUST DIE if they couldn’t get more Edward. I read how they LOVED HIM, and cried when they read about him, and thought of his cold lips [...]
