To all my friends - Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year!
I have been blessed by each and every one of you through the year.

 I don't really know why it got to me this time.  What it was about this particular year, or the circumstances, that set me off.

Partly, it was a prayer list I typed up for my job (I am now working at a church) for prayers for the dead to be said at a Mass on All Souls' Day.  That started it, I suppose.

And then it had been a long and frustrating ( Read more... )

 I am an addict.

It's okay.  I am learning to live with it.  I know it will be a struggle, but it is one I am willing to work through.

I am addicted to spoilers.

For two years I have been eagerly reading and searching for information, mostly about CSI New York.  It all started long before that though - I started small, with Judging Amy.  Then it was  ( Read more... )

 And that makes me oddly happy.

We have had a gorgeous summer, day after day of hot sunshine.

The only trouble is *whispers guiltily* I'm not that fond of sun.  Or heat.  Or the outdoors.

There.  I said it.  I know it is a small venial sin in this country not to love the sunshine.  I know that many people (including me, actually!) suffer from ( Read more... )

I started a new job this week.  I should have started it a few weeks ago, but we had a trip to Quebec City planned, and there was no way I was giving up that (the trip was great, btw.  Thanks for asking!)

My new job is do-it-in-my-sleep easy, ( Read more )

I love my man.  I do.  I should - we've been together a long time, and gone through just about everything one might expect two people in their late 40s to have gone through together.

But.

He has this one habit that drives me NUTS.  Homicidal, in fact.

(Okay, he has lots of habits that drive me nuts.  But today this is the one making me homicidal!)

If there is one person or more on your friends' list who makes your world a better place just because they exist and whom you would not have met (in real life or not) without the internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.

but please, can we fix the grammar? *shudder*

This is a message from the band Scars on 45 whose song "Beauty Running Wild" was used on CSI:New York during the D/L wedding.  If you sign up, they will release new songs.  If you sign up (and mention my name - Sharon T), they will release more songs before their FIRST album comes out.

If you are interested, try them out - here's the clip on youtube

 I just discovered the UK version of Law and Order - same formula as the American show but with such lovely actors.  The older detective, Ronnie Brooks, is liberal and caring, speaks French and is always hungry.  The younger one, Matt Devlin, is beautiful, a little more 'right wing', but compassionate.  The Crown Prosecutors are Alesha Phillips and ( Read more... )

 So, it has been pointed out that I do not update very regularly.  That is unfortunately true.  I was never very good at keeping a journal - I'd do fine for a week or so, then I'd get bored (a pretty common reaction to nearly everything I do ( Read more... )
