Cell phone hatred, etc. etc.

Last updated on: October 11, 2010 at 1:33 pm By Cynthia Schrage

Nothing like being on hold to provide some good posting time. I have been on hold for almost a half an hour with my provider (which shall remain unnamed) about a dumb payment posting. For some strange reason, all the payments for my daughter’s phone always go through, but the ones for me are a problem, even though we always use the same payment information. What would be really cool is if there was a WordPress feature that would let me post from... Read more

Candle Holder design submission

Last updated on: September 15, 2010 at 1:07 pm By Cynthia Schrage

Here is a link to the candle holder design I submitted to Glade for a contest. Go and check it out. You’ll have to wait up to 48 hours to see my actual design, but you can always look at the other ones. You can vote for mine, too, but they say it doesn’t affect the judging. If you can’t find my design by this link, you can look for it under “All Around Fresh” with my name as “Cynthia... Read more

Hanging out at Saint Mary’s

Last updated on: September 15, 2010 at 10:06 am By Cynthia Schrage

So, I’m over here at Saint Mary’s. Again. Hanging out with Sophia. Again. Not that I mind, it’s fun to be with such nice girls and on such a beautiful campus. But I almost feel like the RA for this floor, I’ve been over here so much in the past three weeks. It’s just been one thing after another. Good things, mostly, but some are more challenging. Here’s a funny shot from when I helped her move into her dorm... Read more

Good Grief, Long Time No Post

Last updated on: May 19, 2010 at 1:31 pm By Cynthia Schrage

Well, it doesn’t help that we don’t have the internet at home anymore, and the town library has relocated (during its renovation) to a place that’s not really within walking distance, and the car isn’t very reliable. But, hey, I’m making an effort, right. I’ve been looking at some new holy card pictures while I’m out on the web. I have almost 8,000 images of holy cards on my home computer. Some aren’t very good quality, but it’s interesting to... Read more

Library Overload

Last updated on: November 27, 2009 at 3:27 pm By Cynthia Schrage

Image by eclecticlibrarian via Flickr The book situation in the apartment has finally reached critical mass. Roger and Sophia told me that I shouldn’t bring any more home, and so I’ve declared a moratorium on new book acquisition until the end of the year. Of course, it’s not a complete moratorium, because there’s been a couple that I’ve slipped in under the radar, or for Sophia or Roger themselves (surely that’s okay, right?). I haven’t seriously updated my LibraryThing account... Read more

Woman On the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown

Last updated on: November 6, 2009 at 4:48 pm By Cynthia Schrage

What do Pedro Almodóvar films and I have in common? We’re both a little strange. The past couple of weeks have been really nerve-wracking and I’m beginning to feel that I’m on the verge of my own nervous breakdown. I’ve been having panic attacks with greater and greater frequency, which is highly unusual for me. I don’t really understand what causes them—well, I sort of do, but that doesn’t mean that I understand them. I’m the kind of person who... Read more

Long time, no write

Last updated on: October 9, 2009 at 11:45 am By Cynthia Schrage

Well, my goodness . . . It’s been quite some time since I’ve written. We don’t have the internet at our home anymore and I haven’t gotten back into the swing of posting from the local library. So, more later, because I just logged on here at Roger’s, and we’re on our way out the door. Read more

Some days are just days

Last updated on: September 4, 2009 at 6:02 pm By Cynthia Schrage

And this is just one of them. It just seems sometimes like there are whole hours when I just get seemingly nothing accomplished. I’m reading, or knitting, or, too often, on the Internet, and I just don’t like the feeling of “un-accomplishment.” Read more

One of my favorite ways to spend the day

Last updated on: September 3, 2009 at 9:16 pm By Cynthia Schrage

With books! Today from 11:30 this morning until about 3:30 this afternoon, I was at Paws and Claws. My Goodness, what an onslaught of donations! We can hardly keep up with them. Naturally, there’s a ton of Harlequin Romances, the bane of the store, in my not-very-humble opinion. And then, what to do with all the duplicates . . . We don’t want to throw them away, but we can hardly keep them. We don’t have the room. After I... Read more
