Nella Vita di Land-owning Gentry


This Wednesday, I gave myself an early B-day present…I bought a house! Well technically, I’ve already been living in the house and paying half the mortgage for a while now, but only recently has it become ‘mine.’ Shane and I refinanced his mortgage to a better rate, and in doing so my name was added to both the deed and the loan. I am now part of the elite class of land owning gentry! I’ve honestly felt that this was my home for almost two years, and have been working hard since that time to decorate and have it reflect both my and Shane’s personality. The greatest thing that I have gotten out of this is the sense of security that this is mine and no one can take it or make me leave. Except Shane that is, but if he tries I’m taking half of it with me!!

Nella Vita di Logic

In the paper today I saw an ad looking for cocaine and crack addicts as well as alcoholics to take part in a study of a new medicine that may reduce cravings for these drugs. I wonder about the logic of treating a drug addiction with drugs...

Certainly if a person was to stop using drugs long enough for counseling and life style changes to take affect, this new drug could be helpful. But what happens when the user stops taking the drug?

Nella Vita di Scarecrow


JC decided to help us protect our grass seed. Clearly no bird would want to mess with such a ferocious beast!
