Reader’s Pictures (Part 1)

Let me give you fair warning.  I’m still not feeling real well, still not thinking real clearly, and am still meandering back and forth between napping and half-awaking all day.  So if  you read something that doesn’t make sense or if I go meandering off into the Land of Nonsensicalness,  you’ll understand why.

And to make matters even more “fun,” my computer is still doing weird things and will probably need professional attention; also, my beloved Nikon is non functioning and will have to be sent in for repairs.

Sorry there have been no posts for several days; I’ve been in bed sick.  

Today was supposed to be the day to post the photos you sent featuring the places you live, but I haven’t been able to muster quite enough energy to get it all together.  Those pictures will be coming soon, though, along with all sorts of other good Smithellaneous stuff!

Thanks for your patience; now it’s back to bed I go.

A Long Week. A Great Mom.

Last week was a wild one.

On Sunday morning, we arrived at our 8:15 am worship team rehearsal to discover that the mixing board for our P.A. system was emitting a not-so-inspiring burning smell.

How many of you know that when an electronics item smells like it’s been smoking Marlboro’s, it’s not a good thing?

Four. Heroes.

Tuesday was “Take Your Parent to School Day.”  I attended with Sarah from 8 am to noon and Steve took over from noon to 3:15.

It’s kind of scary going back to school after being out a century or two, as I have been.  In fact, it was extra scary for me because you know what the very first class of the day was?

Introduce Yourself!

Since it’s Monday morning, my brain is not quite geared up for the creation of a cogent, cognizant, coherent, and cohesive post. So instead, I am going to write in Flitting Blog Entry Style, which is a style of writing that is not yet included in the great classic writing books.  (I can’t imagine why!)

Basically, it just means that I will flit from one topic to another with no worries about flow or transitions or connectivity, or any of that other tedious stuff I usually sweat over when writing a post.

So let’s get flitting,  shall we?

I’d Prefer To Live

When you’ve been blogging as long as I have (nine years!) you tend to have certain favorite posts that you like to revisit.   I figure that if I enjoy going back and reading those old posts, you might enjoy them too and so two or three times a month, I’m going to start posting things from The Archives–either from Sarah’s page or from Smithellaneous Classic.

This first one is from Sarah’s site. (And thanks to Trine, long time blog reader  for helping me locate the post among the hundreds of thousands of words on that site!)
