Haircut Time

Tuesday, December 12, 2006: December keeps rolling right along toward Christmas. I know I shall soon have to get another haircut. Yesterday I got the second of the two Christmas cards I can always count on getting every year. Hey so what can I tell you? My list isn't all that long. The weather has been warmer than average lately. I'll bet O.L.P.H. has been hopping like mad these days but I'm not especially involved at O.L. Sorrows so I can't say.

Internet au Go Go

Tuesday, December 12, 2006: Hi. Have any of you ever gotten a chance to check out the Frappr bar? It's a great internet hangout for all us cyber social butterflies. I make all sorts of connections by lollygaggling on the internet. This is quite a trip. http://www.frappr.com/thefrapprbar

Very First Christmas Card of the Year

Monday, December 11, 2006: Yesterday I got my very first Christmas card of the year-besides the one from the Carmelite sisters- and today I made sure I wrote out the ones I have to send. The weather's been very nice today. Last night I went to this month's Holy Name Society meeting where we pigged out on jalapeno peppers and hooch. There was lots of talk about Christmas plans & how aggravating & expensive things are. I'm still reading Charlotte Bronte's Villette. That Lucy Snowe & her friends are quite the bunch of characters.

Gotta like a Site With This Name

Great Caesar's ghost who could possibly pass up a chance to check out a site like http://www.cheesebikini.com ? I decided to go today for a really spiffy site. It's current events. It's humor. It's swell.

Site of the Day

Please go to: http://www.etrafficsurfer.com/?ref=267 to help me increase my statistics. It's good for everybody to get involved with stuff like this. It's cold out today but at least it's not all that bad driving, etc. wise. The library's not too busy or crowded & they got the heater fixed a while ago. Christmas beckons. Yesterday was Tina's (Gary & Maria's daughter's) birthday so I made sure I sent her the inevitably obligatory Beatle card. I miss New York Christmas but it's nice here too. Pretty soon I reckon I'll get my two cards from my N.Y. connections. Now that Advent is here things will be crowded and aggravating.

Great Marian Feast Day

Friday, December 8, 2006: Today I made sure I went to 8 a.m. Mass At Immaculate Conception Church in West Pittston. It's the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. It snowed yesterday and last night but the roads were all pretty clear. Today the library is extra quiet and I'm feeling quite a whole lot better than yesterday. Christmas beckons. My blogs' traffic stats are skyrocketing. Certain parties may find this pert near impossible to believe (ho hum, ahem)but I've gotten compliments from people.
