Live Your Passion

noreply@blogger.com (Pamela D. Hart) — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 04:35:00 +0000

There is a lot of advice out there about life and living it to the fullest. I’ve been on a personal, self-healing journey myself, and found that time is one of our most precious commodities, because without time we can’t enjoy our families or our passions or even find out what the latter is, for...

Search Keywords For Blog Success~ Or A Giggle

noreply@blogger.com (Pamela D. Hart) — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 04:56:00 +0000

Have you ever checked the Search Keywords for your blog? They can be quite…well…weird. Or should I say, MINE can be weird. I realize that Search Engines crawl my site, I believe it’s Search Engine Optimization or SEO, although I’m not sure how optimal my little ‘ole blog is. I also know that the...

A Berra Tiring Three Weeks

noreply@blogger.com (Pamela D. Hart) — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 20:05:00 +0000

It’s three weeks today since we brought home our little Berra. She’s growing fast! Smart as a whip for thirteen weeks old. She rings a bell to go potty, although she also rings it because she LOVES to be outside. And since her bladder is about the size of a chickpea we hear ding ding about every...

The A-B-C’s Of My Purse

noreply@blogger.com (Pamela D. Hart) — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 05:00:00 +0000

I’m larger than life. Well, not physically, but my antics and my attire. Some would say I’m gaudy. I wear big ass earrings, bracelets, necklaces, three and a half inch pumps and I tote around a HUGE over-night bag purse. I also LOVE animal prints. Zebra, Leopard, Dalmatian…you name it, I have it,...

An Enlightening Tail

noreply@blogger.com (Pamela D. Hart) — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 05:00:00 +0000

My Dad & Me I was a drama queen in my younger days and could turn a simple rain shower story into a hurricane with my dramatics–loud tone, tears, flailing hands– oh yes, quite the actress, truth be told. I tried my dad’s patience at every turn, but he being the calm, cool, collected type,...

Meet Me On Monday~ Why I Like Winter

noreply@blogger.com (Pamela D. Hart) — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 05:12:00 +0000

My favorite season is summer. I love the warmth and sunshine, and the lush green exuberance of Mother Nature. Winter seems to last forever. Its dreary days drag and my spirit seems to sag like trees’ brittle branches. My body aches and sometimes I swear I hear its moans in the dark wind’s howl. I...

My Secret Spy Mission

noreply@blogger.com (Pamela D. Hart) — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 20:07:00 +0000

**Disclaimer: Mature Language** I have a confession to make. I actually LIKE scam email letters. I know, I’m totally weird. But I don’t open them. I use view source when I think there MIGHT be something in the scam email that I could actually make fun of. And THAT’S why I like them. Take...

A Friday Night Houdini

noreply@blogger.com (Pamela D. Hart) — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 21:42:00 +0000

Friday night I put Berra, our new puppy, in her new crate and slid the latch, then went to bed. Around three o’clock in the morning, I woke and made my way to the den, where we’re keeping the fur ball, and my heart lodged in my throat when I saw that her crate was EMPTY! Then I thought, she must’ve...

Birthdays Should Be A Big Deal

noreply@blogger.com (Pamela D. Hart) — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 05:00:00 +0000

I came across a blog where a woman wrote, My husband says making birthdays a big deal gives children a misguided sense of entitlement. I was only about half-way through the post, but I stopped reading and clicked out. That sentence conjured memories from my own childhood and it only hardened my...

Who's Afraid Of A Tiny Puppy?

noreply@blogger.com (Pamela D. Hart) — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 17:01:00 +0000

Well, we finally got Dalan’s puppy. Our dog, Hayley, was put down November 17, 2009, and Dalan has really missed her (as do I), so when I asked what he wanted for an Army Graduation gift, he said, a puppy. While he was in basic training, I sent him pictures and information on different...

You just can’t escape spam emails or stupidity, no matter how exceptional your filters, and quite honestly, if anyone knows how to dodge the latter, I think I’d pay good, hard-earned money! Normally my email catches spam, but somehow this doozie went straight to my inbox. After reading it,...

My Baby Bunnies In the summer of 2008, my dog, Kommit, a darling mischievous Boxer, found a bunny nest in the middle of our backyard. I saw her sniffing and pawing at the ground and when I went to investigate her curiosity, I found three tiny bunnies nestled in a hole in the ground. The...

It's Too Heavy

noreply@blogger.com (Pamela D. Hart) — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 05:00:00 +0000

Children are very literal and they’re so full of animation and innocence. I’d love to bottle up those uncontaminated emotions and sell them. Wouldn’t Earth be a wonderful place if everyone could experience kindness and enthusiasm? When my oldest son was about two and a half years old I...

Huge Dose Of Mom Guilt

I’m not a procrastinator, nor am I lazy, however, with Christmas then New Year’s…well let’s just say that my so-called normal routine went to the way-side and my dry-cleaning sat, stuffed in a bag on my laundry room floor. Now, you’re probably thinking, What’s the big deal? Well, the big...
