I love the internet, I really do. But man, is it dangerous. I mean, all that information out there . . .
When I had the flu and was NOT getting better, I decided to look up my symptoms on the internet. BAD IDEA! Unless you really think you`re dying, I don`t suggest doing this. According [...]

Snake Update

It looks like we have an identification of the snake (apart from “legless reptile”). I finally found some photos of common snakes in Guatemala and it would appear to be Pituophis lineaticollis, or “Mazacuata de tierra fría”, which in English is called “Middle American gopher snake”.
Everything fits, the diamond patterned skin, the little head and [...]

This comes from Christine over at Smiles and Trials, which is a great adoption blog, by the way.
15 Years Ago . . . I was 13 and heading full speed into adolescence. I longed to travel to Brazil on a missions trip (Brio Magazine from Focus on the Family had a brochure on missions every [...]

Man, I feel like my blog is getting rather negative, but maybe it`s all the rain. Today was another pouring day, though we had a few minutes of just clouds in the morning.

The rainy season is really going for the gusto right now. Rather than the usual sunny mornings followed by rainy afternoons and evening, it`s been raining all day, every day. Today was our first glimpse of sunshine in several days! Though it`s gone now.
All this rain has posed a problem when it comes to my [...]

Dorian has been really picky about food recently and yet he keeps coming back from the in-laws with chunks of chicken or mashed potatoes on his face. But more frequently, they give him cookies and candies instead, though the candy isn`t as common these days, thank goodness.
Tonight, I whipped up a nice creamy spinach soup. [...]

This is just too fun, it`s ridiculous! By the way, these papers and odds and ends came from The Shabby Princess, where there are a lot of fun free downloads.

Why Didn`t Anyone Tell Me?

I used to work with Creative Memories, which is rather like the Avon of scrapbooking. I would teach classes on how to scrap and helped people put together cute photo albums. It was tons of fun and I loved it, but never earned that much money. I did, however get major discounts on albums and [...]
