I started reading when I was four years old, and I pretty much haven't stopped since. As my mother has remarked, if there's nothing else available, I will read the toothpaste tube. I read everything except romance novels, and as long as the book is well written, I'll finish it even if I'm not thrilled by the story. I guess I'm always... more »

    Why Not You?
    By Steve Maraboli

    Today, many will awaken with a fresh sense of inspiration. Why not you?
    Today, many will open their eyes to the beauty that surrounds them. Why not you?
    Today, many will choose to leave the ghost of yesterday behind and seize the immeasurable power of today. Why not you?
    Today, many will break through the barriers of the past by looking at the blessings of the present. Why not you?
    Today, for many the burden of self doubt and insecurity will be lifted by the security and confidence of empowerment. Why not you?
    Today, many will rise above their believed limitations and make contact with their powerful innate strength. Why not you?
    Today, many will choose to live in such a manner that they will be a positive role model for their children. Why not you?
    Today, many will choose to free themselves from the personal imprisonment of their bad habits. Why not you?
    Today, many will choose to live free of conditions and rules governing their own happiness. Why not you?
    Today, many will find abundance in simplicity. Why not you?
    Today, many will be confronted by difficult moral choices and they will choose to do what is right instead of what is beneficial. Why not you?
    Today, many will decide to no longer sit back with a victim mentality, but to take charge of their lives and make positive changes. Why not you?
    Today, many will take the action necessary to make a difference. Why not you?
    Today, many will make the commitment to be a better mother, father, son, daughter, student, teacher, worker, boss, brother, sister, & so much more. Why not you?

    Today is a new day!
    Many will seize this day.
    Many will live it to the fullest.
    Why not you?

    The railway bridge that goes over our main street provides wonderful acoustics and makes anyone sound good. You should have heard my rendition of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' the other day. Ahhh...

    If you really want to embarrass someone, walk up to a house & peer in through the windows . I thought it was unoccupied, honestly. But once I'd started, I carried on. Even (blushes) through the front door keyhole.I don't know what I'd have done if someone had suddenly opened the door. "Does Mr Brown live here ?'

    Not for me because I am married to an Englishman, have many English friends & am the child of Ulster parents ! I was reared with English pronunciations & humour & had 'Eng Lit' read to me when I was almost literally in the cradle. No use whining that I had nothing to read, with all those books in the bookcases. But I have never taken as kindly to Walter Scott as I ought to have.

    I know that one day I am going to say 'looks away' or 'gazes innocently into space' aloud one day...

    You're AimeeSue ?

    Do you find that you start thinking of yourself as your persona ? And occasionally even referring to yourself as it ? Of course, my name really is Lady Hermione ffotheringhay-ffeatherstonehaugh. (looks away) The other day I just managed to stop myself saying something like 'falls to the floor in a swoon' in the chemist !

    Daisy my dear girl,
    OOdles of apologies for the shortbread fiasco. I tried my best to retrieve what remained, but alas the dog got the last crums. I am thinking of trying a new approach. Maybe I could Fax them next time?

    How peculiar. Now that I see your fetching avatar, I'm unaccountably thinking I should throw in some friggin' pudding.

    Goodness - yes - I did notice that! I shall persevere to hold on to the franchise, at it were.... pity that Shelfari doesn't let one edit one's posts on people's shelves...demmed annoying, that! One must depend upon one's friends to do the honors.

    The H2SO4 thing- my mother used to recite it too! And then we came across it on our schooldays. I do love it :)

    A man went into an English pub and asked for a pint of adenosine triphosphate.

    The barman said 'That'll be 80p.'

    One of the few jokes of this nature that I have actually understood.

    Oh my, how flattering! I do think it's very funny that I'm revelling in all this mad-chemist-and-"accidental"-poisoner melodrama when in reality I remember that Chemistry was the one thing that regularly trounced me and laid me low all those years back in school. God, what a subject.

    No, I'm not a card maker. We just do the picture of kiddo with Santa. Hubby loves sending them, probably because I do all the work. I'm rather indifferent to them.

    Lady Dixie says

    On her blog she says that it was a mutual decision between her and CK that she discontinue "Studio A," but that we might see her work in the mag occasionally. Here's my read: CK was purchased earlier this year, and I think they're doing a re-org. I think they've never really recovered from the whole Kristina Contes HOF mess, their horrid customer service mess when masses of people had ordered Becky Higgins's Project 365, and other similar stuff. It makes me sad, too, kind of like when Memory Maker's re-vamped. It was never the same, and look at where they are (or aren't!) now. Maybe we'll see some fresh faces. Our little Ali is so popular that I think she could start her own mag and have legions of followers.

    Well, it is my favorite color. Have you heard about all of the turmoil going on at "Creating Keepsakes"? Lisa Bearnson, Ali Edwards, and Becky Higgins have all left.
