This is the kind of news that can bring me to tears. I remember hearing news in the 90’s about Ethiopia’s Hunger crisis and seeing pictures on TV of babies with swollen bellies and such, but I thought that after aid and help, it had gotten a lot better there. Well, apparently it is bad again. Drought is something we joke about a bit here in our house, because the news proclaims a terrible drought in NC while it is raining almost two or three times a week. I can see that it’s no joke and no laughing matter in…

Sometimes I feel as if there are several me’s alive inside of this one body, and I can’t seem to figure out which one is real enough to focus on. There is one me that constantly puts me down. Sort of an outside looking in me that sees nothing but the flaws and the bad things. She is quick to remind me of any negatives about myself the second they rear their ugly heads, and never ceases to let me forget that I am not at all what I had meant to be. There is another me that is just…

I have wanted to learn to play guitar for years. There was a time when I was about 22 that I bought one and started to teach myself. I learned about four commonly used chords, a few strumming techniques, and then applied them to about 10 different praise and worship songs at church. My goal at the time was to play for the youth choir that I was leading at church. I played for them a few times, but I never really got very good at it. If there’s one thing I’m sure of, you can’t really play any instrument…

Not only am I completely wild about Hello Kitty, but I am also an MMO nerd. So, what could be better than a Hello Kitty MMORPG??? Nothing!! The Hello Kitty Online game is currently in closed Beta testing, and I can’t wait for it to be released to the public! At SanrioTown, they are holding a contest for who can make the best Hello Kitty Online Trailer using their promotional photos and music. Since I haven’t played the game yet, I don’t know how great of a trailer I can make, but I am sure as heck going to try…

I have never really been a person who sticks to routine very well. Sure, I think that I crave routine, as most people do. I am constantly trying to put together schedules and color-coded versions of my calendars. I always think that a daily schedule filled with routine is the answer to all of my shortcomings. Maybe that is true, but I still find it hard to actually follow and stick to a routine. Just when I’d gotten into the habit of a Jazzercise morning with writing to follow, I went home for five days and now it’s all gone…

My trip yesterday was really nice. Barely any traffic. Nice Weather. A really good audio book. No speeding tickets :p. I got here in record time, honestly. Of course, gas prices suck no matter how you look at it, but I have a feeling that is only going to get worse as we move into the summer. It’s definitely the most expensive trip I’ve made home in a long time, but it’s worth it to see my family. Tonight, my brother and his wife and I are going to take their boat out on the Ocmulgee River, which should be…
