Jane Boursaw writes the Film Gecko blog for B5 Media. She reviews movies and television shows and gives behind-the-scenes info on celebrities. I appreciated her review on the movie Prince Caspian, since it was one we thought about taking our daughter to see. But after reading Jane’s review, I think we’ll opt for lighter fare. (Jane recommends it [...]
This blogging everyday thing is hard. Not because I can’t think of what to write but because there’s so much I could.
Yesterday at the grocery store, I tried to find pine nuts. In case you’re also going to make Tyler’s Ultimate pork chops with wild rice pilaf, let me help you out: The pine nuts [...]
Wahoo.
Fellow blogathoner Sue Poremba blogged the other day about Empty Mailbox Syndrome. I know what she means! My inbox is quiet too - not even so much as a chain email with words of wisdom from Dr. Phil. I checked my ISP and yep, everything is working fine.
At first it seemed strange, maybe even slightly disappointing. But [...]
A bit of properly-placed venting has a lot to recommend it:
Casting all your care up on him; for he careth for you. 1 Peter 5:7 (KJV)
Casting means to throw upon or place upon. Care is the Greek word merimna. It’s not a good word. (Well, I suppose the word is just fine, but the anxious, [...]
Thanks to Plaidearthworm for the cliché of the day. In the comments over at Mama Needs A Book Contract, she rewrote the famous cliché “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.”
Her version?
A tool in the hand is worth two on EBay.
(There’s a joke in there that I’m not even going to make. Whether [...]
Why yes, yes I did.
And since I’ve been trying to figure out what is wrong with my Internet connection (is it a router issue? a cable modem issue? the line in from my isp?), I haven’t had a moment to even think about what I’m going to post.
Hmm. Here’s what’s on my mind today. I [...]
I do. I really, really do. (*Sally Field voice* … and while we’re on the subject, have you seen her? It’s enough to make you want to start taking Boniva. Or slathering it on as night cream. Or something.)
Anyway, I do love interviews. I didn’t grow up wishing I could be an interviewer someday, but it’s a [...]
I have to admit something to you, because they say that is the first step. The first step in what? I don’t know. But I’m sure it’s important. So here goes:
I have a fear of Lacrosse. Actually not of the sport itself, but of trying to say something relevant and meaningful about it, because [...]
Amy Grisak over at Living in Season provided some great early-season flower planting tips. Although I know enough about gardening to read the back of a seed packet, I wasn’t entirely sure I had planted the right varieties. Thanks to Amy’s blog, I discovered that most of my choices were good. Yay! (Note: If [...]
Because I am a notorious tightwad, I’m going to start with the money involved in roasting coffee.
The Cost
The last time I bought a pound of fancy coffee from the specialty store it cost me $8.95. Today I checked prices online and Starbucks sells a pound of their Organic Sumatra ~ Peru Blend for $13.95.
My husband purchases [...]
