"Ninjas of the 512: A Texas-Sized Satire" is a short novel by Laura Roberts. Apart from the word "satire" in the title, I had no idea what to expect from my fellow Canadian author. If I had to sum up this entire story in just one simple word, I would choose "hilarious." My family kept … Continue reading Book Review: “Ninjas of the 512”
Humor
Philosophy for the Weekend…
Because laughter truly is the best medicine, I figured that we could just stand to read some silly, humourous quotes today. 🙂 Our morning has already started beautifully: coffee, a walk, and a visit with a friend (was so good to see you, Melissa!). Now we are actually spending some time relaxing. This is one … Continue reading Philosophy for the Weekend…
Family Board Games and General Mayhem…
Today's blog really has nothing to do with anything. I just had such a huge belly laugh that I wanted to share it. For the kids' birthdays, Maddie received a board game called "Beat the Parents." Lara found it and just knew that Maddie would love it. It hit all the notes: competition, dominance over...us. … Continue reading Family Board Games and General Mayhem…
Drop Everything and Be Grateful!!!
I wanted to take time this morning for another list. I woke up a few times last night (gasp! what a shock), and when I finally got out of bed this morning (silent as a ninja this time YAY!) I felt nervous/agitated. I was in the family room, watching the cloud-covered sunrise, and our new … Continue reading Drop Everything and Be Grateful!!!
Tuesday (scattered) Thoughts…
I'm not sure what it is about today, but I am all over the place. I'm still accomplishing what I need to accomplish, but I have found it hard to outline this blog post. I don't have a particular theme or series of quotes. Then, all at once, it hit me. I was reading a … Continue reading Tuesday (scattered) Thoughts…
Friday Philosophy on Schedule…!
It seems I end up busier on Fridays than I am every other day of the week. As a result of that fact, I'm extremely happy to accomplish my Friday Philosophy when it is still Friday. Today's Friday Philosophy is all about REALITY. I'm not going to approach it from the whole "get a grip … Continue reading Friday Philosophy on Schedule…!
Tuesday Thoughts…
I'm hitting the philosophical side of what it means to eat and live and breathe without cancer. It's all the recipe writing for the book, I tell you. So, today, I am just sharing some thoughts from other people who have experienced cancer. "Today we fight. Tomorrow we fight. The day after, we fight. And … Continue reading Tuesday Thoughts…
Friday Philosophy…
Ha! It's Friday, and I'm writing. Since my last totally awesome workout, I've been sick as a dog. I haven't really been on my feet much until today. I ended up with a sinus infection, and due to a health insurance issue, was unable to see a doctor. So, I went "frontier woman" and treated … Continue reading Friday Philosophy…
Remission photo journal…
I began remission on May 16, 2011, when I had my bilateral mastectomy. All medicated and happy after surgery. I found out I needed chemo and went short: And then, of course, we shaved it once chemo began. Slowly, but surely, the hair came back. I remember my first Mohawk: I was just so happy … Continue reading Remission photo journal…
Running Shoe Review…
I wanted to take the time today to write a review of an amazing shoe: the Vibram FiveFingers. I had been curious about this shoe for a long time, but didn't really have access to people I KNOW who had worn them. Then, I was fortunate enough to meet Coach Smith. She wears these shoes … Continue reading Running Shoe Review…
