School Uniforms

Totally missed the 12 of 12...but had an intriguing debate after reading today's local paper.

The debaters - my husband and myself

The bait - School Uniforms 1. general principle 2. viability in public schools

The hook - "nazi-esque" imposition of power impinging on constitutional rights or useful tool and just a plain old no brainer in the AM?


Winner of debate - a tie - It's garbage night and the collection and disbursement thereof is a unifying issue.

What are your thoughts vis a vis school uniforms 1. in general 2. viability in public schools? Enquiring minds want to know

I'm a Dodge Viper

All right, I took the quiz from my BF's blog...and was no displeased with the results. I actually wanted one of these...but the husband said I couldn't afford the speeding tickets!

I'm a Dodge Viper!



You're all about raw power. You're tough, you're loud, and you don't take crap from anyone. Leave finesse to the other cars, the ones eating your dust.


Take the Which Sports Car Are You? quiz.

researching PDA phones

Last year I was in the throws of research for a new car, I changed my mind a thousand times...but in the end I was - am very happy with my choice. I love my car tangerine Honda Element - "Trixie Gizmopolis" and it fits my life style and although some people disagree, I think she's cute. O.K. maybe we can agree on eye catching. ; )

My latest is a new PDA. Thought I could do the paper data thing, but it just is tooooo big and therefore toooo heavy and too many places to loose things and when people talk with me I never have it on me. I've started using my old PDA, much easier all the way around, but it's the black on green screen and a pain to see. Also want to be able to up load Office docs. But oh man! the plans, the coverage, the ins and the outs of the phones that are available. And that's not even talking about price tags. I was going with the Treo 700, but now...thinking one of the new Black Berrys.

If you're thinking bling bling, shiny shiny...you are probably right, just ask my husband.

Blessed Teresa of Calcutta


Labor dayish seems like a very fitting feast day (Sept. 5th) for this to be saint...




"Dear Jesus, help me to spread Thy fragrance everywhere I go. Flood my soul with Thy spirit and love. Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly that all my life may only be a radiance of Thine."
Mother Teresa's Daily Prayer, by Cardinal Newman






" I was expecting to be free, but God has his own plans."







" God loves me. I'm not here just to fill a place, just to be a number. He has chosen me for a purpose. I know it.







"We must know exactly when we say yes to God what is in that yes. Yes means I surrender, totally fully, without any counting the cost, without any examination: Is it all right? Is it convenient? Our yes to God is without any reservations."


"True love causes pain. Jesus, in order to give us the proof of his love, died on the cross. A mother, in order to give birth to her baby, has to suffer. If you really love one another, you will not be able to avoid making sacrifices."






"And so let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love, and once we begin to love each other, naturally we want to do something."







"I believe that God has created each soul, that that soul belongs to God, and that each soul has to find God in its own lifetime and enter into his life. That is what is important. all of us need to seek God and find him."







"Come, O blessed Spirit of knowledge and light, and grant that I may perceive the will of the Father. Show me the nothingness of earthly things, that I may realize their vanity and use them only for your glory and my own salvation, looking beyond them to you and your eternal reward."
Breath in me, O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may
all be holy.
Act in me, O Holy Spirit, that my works, too, may
be holy.
Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit, that I love but what
is holy.
Strengthen me, O Holy spirit, to defend all that
is holy.
Guard me then, O Holy Spirit, that I always may
be holy.
Amen.


There is so much more she said...get a book read about her thoughts, her life, and learn from her love of God and total surrender.

Speaking at the Masses to the masses

Today and tomorrow I get the great chance to speak at the Masses and no doubt will go down as one of the great oratory events of September 2-3, 2006!

Captain Astounding way-layed me with his nonchalant hidden agenda ray and I was so mesmerized that I instantly gave up what I perceived as my last weekend of freedom. Oh I know I've worked the last few Sundays, but perceived freedom was freedom nonetheless. So now I have lost my sweet however unauthentic freedom to his dastardly secret agenda ray.

A mouse in the house

There was a mouse,
he was loose in our house.

He left "calling cards",
and the surfaces he marred.

I was in a panic,
my husband used the word "manic".

To rid our castle of this varmit,
before he chewed holes in our garments!

So traps, they were purchased,
and installed on all exposed surface.

To catch this wiley rodent.

But before they could do the trick,
the mouse, he turned up "in the drink. (Mom's toilet)

And thus ended untimely, the rodent.
