Talk Like a Pirate Day

piratesAhoy me hearties! Arrgh….. Today is Talk Like a Pirate Day and on my birthday! How cool is that!

I didn’t believe it at first, either. I mean, really, talk like a pirate day?

A quick Google search and sure enough, there it was.

Apparently, it was started back in 1995 by two guys on a racquetball court. Who would have thought?

Here’s the link to their story on CNN: National Talk Like a Pirate Day

My Shuffle Took a Bath

ipodshuffleYes, you read that right.

Last Friday night, we were outside watching the kids play in the yard. Doug walked out and said, “Look what I found” and opened his hand.

I guess I must have had a really puzzled look on my face as there was my shuffle, so I’m thinking, “Yea, that’s my shuffle and…???”

Doug: “I found it in the wash”
Me: “Like the washing machine?”
Doug: “Yes”
Me: “Oh, sh__t. Did it go through the dryer, too?”
Doug: “Yep”

Remembering 9/11 – The Day Everything Changed

91101I am sure there are going to be literally thousands upon thousands of blog posts today about 9/11.

It’s taken me a full day just to figure out how I want to approach this subject.

Eight years ago and I still remember every single thing that happened that day.

Yet, I can barely remember what I ate for lunch last Tuesday.

My grandparents had Pearl Harbor, my parents had the assassination of JFK, we have 9/11.

So, You Want to Be a Work at Home Mom?

“A Christian’s Guide to Starting a Home-Based Business”, is the title of Jill Hart and Diana Ennen’s brand new book. Congratulations, ladies!

I am so excited for these women. I’ve personally known Diana Ennen for a number of years online and just recently, Jill Hart.

They have been very gracious in publishing my articles and having me as a guest on their radio show during Military Appreciation month in May.
