Julie & Julia

I just arrived home after seeing the movie Julie & Julia with some friends. LOVED the movie!! I had read the book a few years ago and really enjoyed it. I had been looking forward to seeing the movie for months, ever since I saw a preview for it. And it was well worth the […]

Diversity

I find it fascinating that I can be a good friend with people who have differing political views from my own. I was on facebook and was looking at some of the entries my friends have posted recently. I have one friend who is in favor of health care reform and, when she posts […]

Today’s Thoughts (08/12/09)

Things that are rambling around today:

– We are in the midst of moving at work. From Portland to Saco. Major stress and a lot of sniggly details. Since I’m the office manager, I have a lot of lists going and am trying to schedule everything so that we don’t shut things down too early […]

133 Million

133 million. I read an article the other day about the movie Julie & Julia. In the article, they were talking about Julie Powell’s blog, which is what the book Julie wrote and subsequently what the movie by the same name was based. The writer of the article mentioned that there are 133 million bloggers […]

Catnip Fun

I have two cats…Cupid, a solid black male, and his sister, Kismet, who is black and white. I’ve had them since they were born since their mom used to be my cat. I had to have her put down when she got sick…very sad. But I have Cupid and Kismet to keep my company and, […]

A Perspective…

My brother, Ted, sent me the following and the link to where he found it. The link is: http://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/98rob/seriously_rnc_oh_its_on_now/c0btuoq

This is what it says:

I AM AN AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE This morning I was woken by my alarm clock powered by electricity generated by the public power monopoly regulated by the US department of energy. I […]

Giving Blood

I went to give blood this morning. There was a 27 hour blood drive at a theater in Westbrook and I made an appointment for 6:30 am. Why 6:30? Because I am a morning person, it was a unique time to give blood and I didn’t want to go at 3:00 am by myself and […]

Layers of Memories

I’m not sure where this thought came from but I was thinking about amnesia. You know, the medical condition where there is memory loss. What would happen if you were in a car accident and had a head injury? Then that head injury caused you to be in a coma for a week […]

“Africa” Obsession

Ok…I will admit it…I am pretty obsessed with a certain video. Since a friend (thank you, Betty!) sent it to me, I have probably viewed it over a dozen times. It is incredible!!!

So, to share my obsession, I am posting a link to it. Turn up your speakers! It may start out soft but […]

Ghana Experienced

My boss’s son, Kenny, is spending a year in Ghana and I have been following his blog. I had sent my brother a link to it and he found another blog by Katie who is working with Kenny. In reading about their experiences, I started thinking about President Obama’s trip to Ghana recently. […]
