LOST has completely messed with my universe. First, we have the mysteries of the island. Then we have alternate timelines and realities and smoke monsters taking the form of formerly dead characters. As if that weren’t enough, now we have the whole mythos of the “list” and the “candidates” and the balance between light and… Continue reading AI Predictions: A Perfect 10!

South Beach Update: Shipwrecked!
This is clearly the worst case of sabotage I’ve ever seen. Okay, it’s not technically a shipwreck yet, but the Black Rock is under full sail while Jacob and the Man in Black sit on the beach of a mysterious island, under the shadow of a large statue, discussing the balance of light and dark,… Continue reading South Beach Update: Shipwrecked!
Easter Egg-stravaganza!
Today was the 6th annual Sloan Creek Estates Easter Egg Hunt! Mind you, I use the term “Hunt” loosely. It’s more like an Easter Egg “Scramble” as Matt calls it. Because 600 eggs + no landscaping + REALLY BIG yard = running out of “hiding” places very quickly. We couldn’t have asked for better weather… Continue reading Easter Egg-stravaganza!
Threads of Gratitude: Canvas Stretcher Edition
Last week, I had the opportunity to go to the Nasher Sculpture Garden with my mom and my children. I’ll let that sink in for a minute: I went to an art museum. Willingly. And dare I say I even enjoyed it? And this time I managed NOT to ask questions like “These are all… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: Canvas Stretcher Edition
AI Predictions: The Final 11
Really, I should just take a mulligan on this because: 1) I haven’t watched the show yet and 2) I don’t really have time to blog about a show I haven’t even watched. But I’m not going to do that. I’m going to live on the edge and make a prediction based solely on the… Continue reading AI Predictions: The Final 11
Chasing the Wind
Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun. Ecclesiastes 2:11 Yep, that pretty much sums up my NCAA brackets after this weekend’s games.
“Card” to believe
Let me begin my post by reminding you of one simple truth about me: I don’t make cards. I’ve explained it before, in great detail. I’ve even reiterated it in not-so-different terms. So imagine my surprise when, over the past few weeks, I’ve made not one, not two, but THREE separate card designs. I know! … Continue reading “Card” to believe
Threads of Gratitude: Spring Break T-Shirt Edition
It’s Thursday…and that means it’s time for some gratitude! (For those of you new to the blog, or who have forgotten because it’s been so long since I’ve done this, you can read the story of my threads of gratitude here.) This week we enjoyed Spring Break, and this year I decided to make it… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: Spring Break T-Shirt Edition
AI Predictions: The Final 12!
It’s that time of year again…March Madness, Spring Forward, and Debily’s American Idol Predictions!! Seriously, folks, it doesn’t get much more exciting than this. For those of you who are new to my blog, this has become a tradition for the past couple of years. Before I head out to party with the Idol Girls… Continue reading AI Predictions: The Final 12!
Lessons on Forgiveness
Oh boy, did I ever blow it. Totally screwed up. Messed up big time. In a word: FAIL. And I’m completely sick over it. Tied up in knots. Lump-in-the-throat and tears-in-the-eyes. Usually, the admitting part is not difficult for me. I make mistakes constantly. All. The. Time. I’m forever forgetting things, mixing dates and times… Continue reading Lessons on Forgiveness
