About Me
- ellen
- I was born and raised in Van Nuys, California. I moved to Boston sight-unseen and have loved living in New England since that day when I said, "this apartment is OLD". My hobbies are antiquing, reading books and magazines (bring back Blueprint and Domino please), sewing, quilting, sightseeing, watching movies, and photography. I love the color red and have a retro red refrigerator (and kitchen aid mixer and ice cream maker and toaster and...) to prove it! I live in a converted high school and love decorating my loft condo (w/ 18 foot ceilings) that was formerly the auditorium. I have 3 brothers, 11 nieces and nephews, and a bus fleet of friends.

Cool photo
That was a really great barf story.
I love that you have the courage to write so honestly. I could really relate.
I mean ... I don't think I have ever barfed on a subway ... but I remember thinking I could wait to pee until after the prayer, only to find during the prayer that I COULDN'T ... and all eyes opening at the end of the prayer and me wondering how to make it past them all without being seen.
Stuff happens.
We can all relate cuz we've all been there.
YAY!
UGH. That's all that I have to say 'bout that.
I hope we can all live with the CHANGE!!!
PTL, sister! PTL!
Great picture, and Yes We Can!
I'm glad to land on at least one Mormon blog that isn't declaring the end of the world after the result of yesterday's election.
I, TOO
I, too, sing America.
I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.
Tomorrow,
I'll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody'll dare
Say to me,
"Eat in the kitchen,"
Then.
Besides,
They'll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed --
I, too, am America.
--Langston Hughes, 1925
Yay....for those of us who sit on the "left side" of the chapel....and for America!
Change
I'm gettin too old for
C H A N G E ! ! ! !
Never have liked change!
BUT.....
The greatest and most wonderful change in my lifetime came with the Declaration # 2 of the Doctrine & Covenants in 1978 when Priesthood and Temple Blessings were extended to all worthy male members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. How wondrous and great it has been.
I pray God's choicest blessings to be upon all the elected leaders of the United States of America, who seek His divine guidance and strive to do all to protect the inalienable rights and freedom of all her lawful abiding citizens. God have mercy on us all, I pray, in the holy name of Jesus Christ - amen.

Let's pray that he makes good changes...
I am glad that the African American people can now feel that anything is possible for them with this historic event. My prayers will continue to be with the President of our great nation at these troubled times.
Add me to the list of Mormons who are excited for this change. (I need a break from all of the creepy Armageddon-mongering.)
