In an earlier post I suggested that I would look up the origin of the word Oxymoron, because it contained the word “moron.” So hear’s the scoop! “Oxy” comes from the Greek word for “sharp” and “moron” comes from the Greek word for “dull.” Put them together and you have “sharp/dull” or words of opposite […]
The other day I was reminded of a phrase I hadn’t used in a while – “In my end is my beginning and in my beginning is my end.” I happen to love oxymorons and I have just made a mental note to look up the origin of the word (another post) because it does
Tonight somewhere bells will ring, horns will blast, people will cheer and a new dawn will break!!! We will be collectively handed a blank page to start again. Already my husband and I are tentatively blocking parts of the new year into segments of who is going to be home and when, as far as
Now that I have committed to posting a blog everyday for 2013, I decided that I really should become more involved in blogging communities – it’s a great way to avoid housework and/or anything else you may not feel like doing at that moment, or that day, month, year etc….!!!

And so sometime about 1:00am the waste pipe from the bathroom sink just disintegrated!!! We can now look
I didn’t write about the solstice yesterday because I wasn’t sure that it was going to actually “be.” However now that it “is,” I can. Does that make sense? I just finished reading a blog by a woman who lives in BC and celebrates the solstice by making a maze out of cedar boughs, coring
OK if we can have wordless Wednesdays, I’m sure that we can have thoughtless Thursdays too…someone posted this video to my FB wall and I have to say that it is very cute. It doesn’t require a lot of thought and there are times when we just need to “veg out” and enjoy something that
As doomsday approaches, I picked up my copy of “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” and realized that this was not a great choice for recreational reading, given that in chapter three the world ends!! Then again, its Monty Pythonesque humour is uplifting!! So I carry on ignoring the Mayans, a little difficult to do since
