I mentioned awhile back that I have switched to one-ply toilet paper (something I thought I’d never do!).
For some reason, I have been noticing Scott’s motto lately. “Scott. Common Sense on a Roll.”
It is just common sense to assume they are saying that the toilet paper is sensible and that it is on a roll. [...]

I was getting ready to tell you the 47th thing about me, when I discovered something that just had to be posted on my blog. Yes, I know, you are so disappointed to have to wait a whole day to read about that 47th thing, but alas, you must wait!
So, [...]
Pick Me Up
September 14, 2009 – 8:50 pm
I wrote this poem in March of 1997 at the age of 19. I lost this poem and had a bit of a time finding it. I decided to post it here, so I can find it when I want it!
I fight so hard to keep the things
I know I do not need,
Seeking approval in [...]
The Potter and the Clay
September 10, 2009 – 10:15 pm
This poem came to me today and is still a bit rusty, but I decided to post it anyway. If you have corrections or suggestions, feel free to comment.
I am the potter
You are the clay;
However I shape you
So you must stay.
You are the potter.
I am the clay;
I’ll stay how you shape me
Just do [...]
Unusual Find
June 3, 2009 – 8:20 pm
As I mentioned before, Rhode Islanders like to have their unwanted items taken and nurtured by someone else; they don’t care who that someone else is. So they put it out on the curb for any passerby to claim.
Last week, I came across something that was a bit out of the ordinary! Some one had [...]
Happy 90th, Grandma!
May 16, 2009 – 11:04 pm
My grandma turned 90 years old today!! Can you imagine? I am curious, though. Do you expect to live to be 90 years old? If so, I wonder what life will be like then? For me, that will be 2067.
(Okay, now I have a confession to make. I just spent a full 2 or 3 [...]
Spring Sprang Sprung
May 2, 2009 – 9:53 pm
Several years ago, I suddenly noticed and became in awe of the seasonal change from winter to spring. Watching the world brighten up is an amazing process!
This year I have pictures to show how quickly spring happened here in Rhode island. I took some pictures of the tree outside our house exactly 2 weeks ago. [...]
Smileys and Life
February 26, 2009 – 11:13 pm
Smileys. They are found online across the globe and can mean many different things including “I’m happy,” “I’m smiling,” “that’s funny,” or “just kidding.”
It seems to me like smileys are quite common everywhere, except one place. Wondering where that one place is? It’s called the real world.
Do you ever see someone walking down the sidewalk [...]
The Unexpected Note
January 30, 2009 – 11:15 pm
A few weeks ago after one of our many snow storms, Luke went out on a Sunday morning to shovel the driveway.
Since we were having a fellowship at church, we were taking more stuff to church than usual. Because it is harder to shovel once you have walked on the snow, Luke always shovels and [...]
What an Icicle!!
January 23, 2009 – 11:50 pm
I posted a picture previously of a large icicle that formed outside our house. Now that a month has passed, I guess it is high time I tell you a little more about that miniature ice tower.
The snow only stayed on the ground a few days, and then the temperature went up into the 50’s. [...]
