Messing about with empathy
I expected to learn that August’s birthstone was as valuable as July’s (which is ruby.) Instead, I learned that there are two birthstones for August, one traditional and one modern. Today I want to describe August’s traditional birthstone, the sardonyx. You may never have heard of sardonyx, but you may have heard of onyx. Onyx…
Happy Meme Monday! Happy National Tell A Joke Day! My Facebook newsfeed is my feel-good place on the internet. It’s mostly filled with dogs, Disney, and dinosaurs, but there are also a lot of jokes and puns. I keep some friends around just because of their sense of humor. In honor of National Tell A…
So the first week of my new job has come to an end. It is a lot of work and also a lot of fun. I have met some wonderful people, and like in all jobs, I have wondered about the scheduling. Once school starts in a week, I expect the level of work will…
About a year ago, I deleted all games from my phone because I spent too much time playing Solitare instead of completing my projects. That worked great until I signed up for the Bozeman library summer reading program. The app that runs the program is really cool. Along with recording the books I read (I…
Happy Friday the 13th!! Happy Left-Handers Day!!! Did you know left-handers are sinister? Sinister originally meant left, but because the left hand was considered weak, the word came to be known as evil or unlucky during Roman times. The person who sat to the king’s left was called sinister, and many women were accused of being…
The title of this post is a little misleading. I’m not actually talking about real wallpaper (and I have no idea if it is cheaper than paint.) I’m talking about the wallpaper on your computer screen and your phone. I love matching my wallpaper to the season or to the superhero I’m into at the…
An article popped on my Facebook feed that the Queen of England released her recipe for Pimm’s. The Youtube video made by her personal chef brought back such happy memories that I had to share them with you. In 2006, Judy Guida and I went to England and visited places mentioned in the Russell/Holmes books…
August is a busy month for me, what with starting a new job and moving to a new state. I consistently post on my YouTube channel, Jenn’s Writing World, three days a week, and I don’t want to end that, so I decided to do a month of YouTube shorts. Shorts are videos that are…
Happy Book Lover’s Day! I love books. Hardbacks, paperbacks, e-books, and audiobooks. I love any book in any format. I’m reading about five books at any one time, and we won’t discuss the size of my TBR list. Often, my favorite book is the one I’m reading at the moment, and I enjoy many genres.…
I finally saw Disney’s Jungle Cruise and it is an absolute must-see!!!!! First, if the Jungle Cruise is one of your favorite attractions at Disneyland or the Magic Kingdom then don’t miss this movie! It does a wonderful job bringing the ride to the big screen. Everyone in the theater was laughing. (I won’t spoil…
