For once, I’m glad to see that March is on its way out. It’s been a rough month for our family (though we’ve still been blessed in many ways), and we’re looking forward to a fresh month in April.

By the way, April is the month of National Poetry Writing Month (NaPoWriMo), Script Frenzy, and Karine’s April Art Challenge, all things that I really want to take part in… Not so sure it’s doable, but I’m going to give it a try!
I’ve also been keeping up with the monthly Creative Experiments at Daisy Yellow. Her ideas are just amazing! I highly recommend taking part, even if you only do a couple of challenges, because they will make your day richer and give your brain the novelty it craves.
That is, life without light! It’s amazing how many things we take for granted in modern life. How about we spend a little more time in the dark–and if not to save a little bit on our energy bills or for the environment, then for some perspective.

It will probably fail to surprise anyone that there is arsenic in our apple juice; after all, we’ve known about the arsenic in our water for years. But it turns out that apple juice has far greater amounts than the average water sample–and the FDA could really care less.

I’ve had such a slow output lately, even as I double my efforts! Many factors are at play, and while the fault is largely my own I would like to take this opportunity to instead blame my cat. After all, she continues to usurp the footstool beneath my desk, without which I cannot comfortably work. No, kitty, that’s a bad kitty!

Every time my daughter hears “I Gotta Feeling” by the Black Eyed Peas, she just has to dance. The same goes with a few other pop songs that were released within the last year or so. Part of me feels incredibly guilty about this; I had sworn I’d never subject her to pop music, especially songs with such awful, lame lyrics. But then, weren’t most of the oldies and classic rock songs I love today pop hits of their own time?
Anyhow, she thinks it’s fun, and maybe that’s the point. And every time they sing, “Paint the town!” doesn’t it sound almost angry? I always remark, “I’m so mad, I have to paint the town!” and my husband says, “Dammit, we just painted it, and we have to paint it again–eight days this week!”
Completely unrelated to this little dose of mirth, here are a few new posts.
