No boredom this Easter! And Olive Garden was open
I wrote yesterday about the boredom of spending a holiday when nothing is open. No shopping, not all the usual places. But when I spend it with my girls, there is no way to be bored. I should know that. We are a family like none other. Of course we probably are but we like... Read more »
Jodi Arias trial: still not over and costing millions

Jodi Arias Trial: will this ever be over?
In the past couple of months I have taken almost an obsessive interest in the case of Jodi Arias, a woman on trial for murdering her ex-boyfriend, Travis Alexander.

Moments: Seize them, embrace them, remember them
Disclosure: This is a long one! Hang in there with me! A moment. Dictionary.com defines a moment as an indefinitely short period of time; instant.
