Happy Holidays from Enzo
Happy New Day. Happy New Year
The 2008 Christmas season gave its own special memories—times of laughter, excitement, peace, renewed faith, and tiresome duty. We shared times that were well-planned, spur-of-the-moment, and mundane. All of them too fleeting. I have a lot of goals for 2009. Contracts to fill. Marketing to accomplish. School lessons to teach. Suppers to cook. Souls to feed. My soul to feed. There is no way to keep up with all I need to. We all know the drill—prioritize, which feels like a euphemism for: make
Whoa Nelly
Do ya’ll say that? Or is it just me? I like that saying…among many others. Anyway, it is POURING the rain here. And it has rained off and on since before Christmas and I am sick and tired of it. They say that it is really going to pour here tomorrow though, which means that the little shopping center in the middle of Hick Town will flood, the roads will be horrible and everyone will be driving like idiots. That might would be picture worthy though. Yes, it is sad what we consider exciting here.
Packing Light For Costa Rica
The kid gave me a luggage scale for Christmas, so I can say with some certainty that I'm heading to Costa Rica with 28 pounds of luggage -- a carry-on weighing 12 pounds and a small bag weighing 16 pounds. That total includes my new Acer Aspire One netbook (2.8 pounds), three paperback books and a hardcover. If I weren't such a geek, I could definitely bring the whole thing in under 25 pounds. Nineteen days with less than 25 pounds worth of clothes and personal hygiene items. Well, better to
Sad Day On Broadway
Sad Day On Broadway January 5th, 2009 Thrown To The Street? Tonight while walking through New York’s Theater District we passed the above discarded show advertisements. It seems that folks did not wait a beat (no pun intended) in taking them down.

Second Half of the Season
The second half of soccer is upon us. After one week of weather delays and two weeks for Christmas break, tonight we were supposed to start back BUT we had to cancel practice again with near freezing temps and freezing rain and ice. I mentioned to the head coach earlier today that we needed to get together and get a game plan down for the spring season. He just said “We need to Win.” Yep that’s for sure. So Wednesday we are back at it and now adding next Saturday since we missed tonight.
JIM JONES CHARGED WITH ASSAULT OVER NE-YO INCIDENT!!!
A meeting with New York City authorities this morning (January 5) has resulted in a misdemeanor assault charge for rapper Jim Jones.

Leather Clutch by Kim Cathers / kdon
What a most wonderful Christmas present! My lady Kim Cathers made me this leather clutch as a Christmas gift. She’s off on Galiano island loving life but trudged through the snow and ferries for a holiday visit. She created this clutch by shaping the leather around a rock. So it has the perfect little pouch that’s [...]
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kim Zolciak Bikini Pictures
Kim Zolciak is trying to make sure no one forgets her while we are waiting with baited breath for season 2 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. On the great wigged one’s blog she said that these bikini pictures were taken of her by her fans. ‘”Recently I vacationed with my two girls for the Christmas holiday’s in the Bahamas and found some photos that someone snapped of me while at the beach.” The mother-of-two continues, “Every year we stay at the gorgeous Cove Atlantis Resort and this year wa
Mama Mia, Mediterranean Style Influences Off The Wall!
I know this subject may be a little late, however, this source of inspiration is now running DEEP in the OTW studio that I just had to share it all with you. Get ready for an overload of pictures here... My lovely partner in crime, Jaime, got me the Mama Mia DVD for Christmas. You should be glad that you weren't sitting next to us in the theater when the movie first came out. Jaime and I could not quit oohing and awing over the scenery, the bedding, the clothing, the jewelry, the clothes, the di

Year in Review - 5 days late
Happy New Year! I hope everyone is off to a good start. Mine was off to a bit of a rocky beginning - my furnace died on 1/1, and it actually gets cold in Houston. My sweet Mom came to the rescue once again by bringing me two space heaters. Thank goodness the repairs are going to be made tomorrow. For the second year in a row I participated in Donna's Secret Santa Christmas Swap, and my Secret Santa was Rose; and funny enough, I was her Secret Santa too. Rose made me this lovely bag, it
Kim, Is That You??
Via JustJared.com The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kim Zolciak has launched her official blog… The 30-year-old aspiring actress/singer writes in her first entry, “Recently I vacationed with my two girls for the Christmas holiday’s in the Bahamas and found some photos that someone snapped of me while at the beach.” The mother-of-two continues, “Every year we stay at the gorgeous Cove Atlantis Resort and this year was a bit different because the series on Bravo was so publicized. It was
Names for Quilts
I spend more time trying to think of names than it takes me to come up with designs. Any names come to mind for this one? It has purple green and gold so it could be named something mardis gras related. But when I make it, I might make it in red, white and blue . . then mardis gras names wouldn’t be appropriate. And, there’s the possibility I could make it in traditional Christmas colors! Then neither a mardis gras or a patriotic name would work. Have you noticed what adversity I fa
