My Samhain altar (Click for a larger view in a new window.) Blessed Samhain to all! Samhain (pronounced "sow-in") is an important Sabbat in the Wheel of the Year. Many celebrate it as the Celtic New Year, as I do. It is a day that also represents the end of the harvest and the beginning […]
I just received the most hateful email I think I have ever seen, and it wasn’t even intended to be against me. It was from a friend, about the whole “Happy Holidays” thing. She wanted to start a FB campaign about it, to take back the holiday from all those “dirty non-Christians who don’t even […]
Happy New Year! It is 2010, and I can only hope that this year is better than last! Having Soldier Daddy home is definately a good start, however!! ♥ We rang it in with good friends and adult beverages at midnight, after a night of laughter, so much that I was pretty sure that at […]
Happy birthday, Ty-man! My baby is 6 years old today, although it definately doesn’t seem possible! I still remember the day I had him like it was yesterday. I was scheduled to be induced at 0600, so at 0530 I was at my girl Stacy’s front door with Scotty so he could stay with her […]

It was always a family joke that Corey and Grandma were long lost twins separated by generations, but still twins at heart! I miss you, Grandma, and happy birthday! But, bittersweet memories aside, it is still a […]
Happy birthday, Corey,… PART I! Okay, his birthday is actually the 11th, but in his current part of the world, it will be the 11th in about 7 hours. So, happy 30th birthday, baby! We are actually in the same decade, for another year, 2 months and 1 day. Woot! Party on, Soldier Daddy! And […]
A Night in Paris! It rained ALL day Saturday, in a big way, but thankfully it cleared up in time for the obligatory pictures!! Donovan looked great in his tux and his date was beautiful! I borrowed my dad’s car for the event and acted as chauffeur. I admit, I saw all those girls in […]

That over 34 million Americans have Irish ancestry, including this Irish lassie? 3. That, according to the Guiness Book of World Records, the highest number of […]
