What Ya Singin’ ‘Bout, Patrick?

Posted by Lovelyn | November 26, 2007 .

My husband has a CD by a popular Congolese musician that he listens to all the time. He especially likes the vocals. So he’s decided to learn to sing one of the songs phonetically.
The other night he happily sang it to me. He learned it in the car driving to and from gigs. “What do [...]

Second Hand Smoke

Posted by Lovelyn | November 22, 2007 .

We have new neighbors. They’re a family–a mother, father, and two small children. They’re quiet and better than other neighbors we’ve had. There’s just one problem. They smoke.

Today just when [...]

Medicaid

Posted by Lovelyn | November 12, 2007 .

I walked into the living room and my husband was sitting on the floor with his head in his hands. His wallet had exploded all over the floor. The carpet was littered with all kinds of cards: business cards, credit cards, and a new mysterious gold Medicaid card.
About a month ago, we received a Medicaid [...]

Hello Dolly

Posted by Lovelyn | November 8, 2007 .

The ways to decorate a home are as varied as the people decorating those homes. Some people want to paint their walls black, some want to cover everything in their house with gold leaf. It’s all fine with me. There is one thing that I’ve never understood–doll collecting.
If you collect dolls maybe you can enlighten [...]
