See You Next Year Folks!

It wasn’t me, it was Penni!

I kind of swore off meme’s, tag’s and all that jazz, but since Penni so kindly requested my response, I will gladly oblige…
Rules of the game:“The first player of this game starts with the topic “five weird habits of yourself,” and people who get tagged need to write an entry about their five weird habits [...]

Please Pray for Gayla’s mother

Prayer to Saint Peregrine
O great St. Peregrine,
you have been called
“The Mighty,” “The Wonder-Worker,”

A Christmas Carol

The Christ-child lay on Mary’s lap,His hair was like a light.(O weary, weary were the world,But here is all aright.)
The Christ-child lay on Mary’s breast,His hair was like a star.(O [...]

Lord, in Your Mercy, Hear our Prayer

Let us pray for our dear friend Hector and his wife as they spend Christmas at the bedside of their beloved daughter, who is seriously ill and in intensive care. Amidst our joviality, let us remember all who suffer, and may we pray that Hector’s one Christmas Wish be granted, that his daughter will be [...]

Wax on. Wax off….or so it says on the packet.

I don’t care if I look like a chimpanzee…remind me never to use facial wax strips ever again!
Whatever posessed me to purchase them, I don’t know, but this morning, while last minute panic buying I decided (on a whim) that having caught sight of a couple of ‘above the lip’ hairs while getting ready this [...]

Tubbed and Spiritually Scrubbed!

I had a bath to make my exterier clean, then I went along to Confession to make my interior (my soul) clean too. I feel all scrubbbed up for Christmas…despite the fact that 5 minutes later I swore while driving home from church!
(I’m gonna be spending an awfully long time in purgatory….)
If there’s still time [...]

New York Cheesecake

I should probably have put this on my foodie blog, and should most definately not have put this on my diet blog, but it’s here for the simple reason that those other blogs of mine don’t get as many visits, and I could use a little advice.
I’ve never made New York Chessescake before, I printed [...]

Glad Tidings.

The plastic has been flexed, the brow has been furrowed and the car has burn-out from the frequent shopping trips to buy presents and foodstuffs in preparation for Christmas, but in the words of Katherine Tate, ‘am I bovverred?’

Well, in January there will be no doubt about that. The bills will come a rollin’ [...]

Catechesis and Coffee…what could be better?

Just got finished with setting up the first stage of our parish CaFE website! (much more to add as and when) If you’d be so kind as to let me know about any typo’s or oversights that you see there, it’d be much appreciated. I’ve just published her to the internet and she can be [...]

Deck the Halls…um, living room…

Do you have yours up yet? This is probably the latest that I’ve ever been with putting up the tree, since the children came along. 3rd Sunday of Advent. Glorious. Enjoy!
God bless.

Christmas Shopping Experience.

( you can find more of these marvellous images here)
The lady in this picture looks more serene than I did when I was out battling the Christmas shopping crowds yesterday!
Alas, it’s just like me to make an impulsive decision, and so as I made my way to one end of the City, I shouldn’t have [...]

My Week and ¾’s…in brief.

Since I last blogged, life has been manic.
Almost got killed, how about that for dramatic!
Remember I told you that everyone in my locality seems to have turned into maniac drivers on the run up to Christmas? Well, I was inches away from death this time last week. I had dropped my son off at his [...]
