Rites of Passage

Cherrie | April 28, 2008

 Most people know that  we are a muslim family, living the life of Islam. I say living instead of practicing because how can you practice following what God as you understand  wants for you?  So we try to live by certain tenets.  And like most reasonably organized faiths, there are guidelines that we are supposed [...]

Man's Inhumanity to Man

Cherrie | April 27, 2008

First and foremost, among all things, I pride myself in being an educator. I am instructor and I would be remiss in my role, one of many in this case, if I neglected an opportunity to impart some words of wisdom, some advice, some instruction, SOMETHING of use, without being too heavy, too preachy, too [...]

When you Lose Something

Cherrie | April 25, 2008

There is a saying: If you love something, set it free,  If it comes back it is yours.  If it doesn’t if never was. That works well with people, with car keys. with lots of things. BUT (now you all know that there will always be a but)   what about our pets? Those sweet wonderful, animals [...]

Back to BAU

Cherrie | April 24, 2008

Alright, yesterday, we got to have a little fun (okay -a lot of fun) and some folks learned the rules –namely you can’t post crap on my blog without consequences, you can’t post with fake names and fake email addresses (fu.com?  yeah right) , and you don’t get to come to my house and talk to [...]

AMYWTSN@GMAIL -This Ones For You

Cherrie | April 23, 2008

Amy | amywtsn@gmail.com | IP: 66.57.25.17 Ok, while I agree with you on a few of your points on etiquette, I disagree with you on your point of view with which you’re approaching it. It’s also not showing me the “class” you claim to possess by flaming people on your blog. And have you tried [...]

BLOG ETIQUETTE (Revisited)

Cherrie | April 22, 2008

Apparently there are a few people that are just too damn dense that they don’t get what those of us who are closer to normal refer to as subtle hints.  So let me cut to the chase and speak plainly.   (Y’all –back to those genteel southern words– realize that the people who need to read [...]

Comfortably Numb

Cherrie | April 21, 2008

I was feeling this way today. Totally taken for granted. Totally taking my world and those that I share it with for granted. I was numb. I was in that place where everything is expected and adamance had set in. No one should stay there long. Live is about moving. We all are doing it. [...]

Welcome Newcomers

Cherrie | April 20, 2008

While I was preparing my products for packaging and putting final touches on others, it occured to me that those who are relatively new to the world of digital scrapbooking might, after perusing my blog entries, get the idea that we are a group of misfit, misguided, PMS’ing, drama queens hell bent on reliving our [...]

The Call Falls

Cherrie | April 18, 2008

I was, as usual, looking through the online want- somebody-to -do-something -I’m -too-bougeious-to-do-myself sites and there was a call for a writer ( I won’t say what kind because that would totally give it away).  Since I’m a writer and the quoted rate for articles was reasonable, I thought I’d check it out.  I sent [...]
