      Guilty as Charged

      Having been accused by some people of neglecting my blog, I will simply say, guilty as charged.
      Could be the lack of time, or the evil looks I get from my husband when I finally DO come home from work and park myself in the computer room.
      Perhaps I should take the cue from Willa and sit in front of the TV at night with my laptop and click away at the keyboard while creating the ruse of sharing "family time".

      ("but MOM! this is when my friends are all on!")

      I do realize that it has been ages since I updated my reading list.
      I just finished "Saving Fish From Drowning" ~ Amy Tan And I will (promise) get a review over to overdue books as soon as I get a chance.
      Yesterday I started Black ~ Ted Dekker. Not at all the type of book I am accustomed to reading, but Willa is reading it and I wanted to check it out. So far it is actually quite intriguing!
      My main focus right now MUST be the scrapbook I have been comissioned (by my family) to put together for my father to present at his 80th birthday party on March 8th which apparently right around the corner. This would be much simpler if my mother would actually supply me with the photos I need...but who am I to complain?
      Off to work, with a promise to catch up later....much later

      To be outspoken when truth is under attack, when charity is being bruised, or when important issues of life are at stake is a good and courageous thing. To be outspoken when nothing is at stake except the feelings of someone else is a small and contemptible thing. ~ Lawrence G. Lovasik (The Hidden Power of Kindness)
