The tale of Mom and the amazing stolen cell phone

This story must be shared if for nothing else than to entertain myself.
My sister called me the other night in a panic.  “Anna, some strange guy answered Mom’s cell phone.  I’m afraid she got abducted or something.”  I told Eva that my dad has larengitis (sp?), and maybe it was him.  She said “No.  It [...]

Where did my positivity go?

It’s been a really weird week, and I think it might have something to do with post-surgery stuff.  I just don’t feel right yet, and this is seeping into my attitude towards others and especially toward God.  Physically, I feel much better, but not quite “there”  yet.

N is for Knitting

I am incredibly pleased to announce that I can officially call myself a knitter, because I’ve learned to knit (in a not-very-good-yet-my-scarf-is-wavy-when-it-should-be-straight-hey-there’s-a-big-whole-in-the-middle! way).  But this comes at a good time, because it’s the perfect way to keep myself occupied while I’m healing from the surgery.  Also, my mom is pretty excited because she likes to [...]
