No news on the job front. A friend at church told me it took this particular school 6 weeks to get back to her after her interview. I’m waiting. Patiently.
Okay. I’m waiting.

She came with a bright pink suitcase and an iPod. She forced me to listen to her music — some of which I actually liked. She picked up/touched/played with anything that caught her eye. She questioned everything, gave me instructions on how to drive, and even presumed to tell me how I was thinking and [...]

I feel good about the job interview. One of the three panel members that interviewed me liked me very much. One remained stern-faced and I couldn’t read her. And the third one, the one who showed me out, also showed me around a bit and gave me a mini-tour. That mini-tour, instead of an escort [...]

Sobbing, Shannon dialed the phone and waited for her mother to answer. Finally her familiar and comforting voice came on the line. “Hello?”
“Mom!” Shannon wailed. “It’s only been three months and already my marriage is over. Jim barely even speaks to me anymore!”
Incredibly, her mother laughed. “Oh, Shannon, it’s [...]

I am a little curious about Doug Kaplan. I have been asked to review his website which is about estate care and planning and is directed at the families of Senior Citizens. The grammar used on the site makes me wonder if English is the author’s first language. The unnecessary use of definite articles leads [...]

I am sorry. Quillian could not be here today due to extreme technical difficulties. It isn’t anything that couldn’t be fixed with Adobe Photoshop CS4 and a new video camera. If you like Quillian and would like to see her again, send me a video camera — or click on my sponsors and help me [...]

Remember when I first started doing paid blogging and I told you I wouldn’t present anything I wasn’t willing to use or associate with myself? Well, that’s still true. I have actually turned away what could have been high-profit posts because I wasn’t willing to advance the content.
I have endorsed a couple of things I [...]

Just some random stuff:
I have a job interview in the morning at a local private school. They are seeking a substitute teacher. I want this job. Say a prayer for me.
Including what I earned today, in the last 31 days, I have made $146.17 on the ads and links I have put on [...]

According to his press release, The Birthing House, is Christopher Ransom’s first book, but it doesn’t read like a first book. I opened it just to check the quality of his prose and about an hour later it dawned on me that it was pretty dang good! So are his storytelling skills. That’s probably how [...]

AC has published yet another of my recipes. This one is a pumkinilicious bit of finger food just in time for Fall and all the seasonal calls for pumpkin recipes.
Amoeba is just so-so about pumpkin and wasn’t keen on my trying this recipe — until he tasted it. In fact, I made the dish for [...]
