Hiss. Spit. Growl…
... This is why I hate going to the movies. No scratch that. This is why I hate going out and having to deal with the general public. It's like no one gives a damn any more. Has everyone completely quit trying to be civil or have manners? And who brings a squalling infant to a PG-13 movie? A noisy shoot-em-up PG-13 movie with lots of loud and startling noises? And the teenage girl beside me in the theater checked her freaking phone every 15 secs. Do you know how bright and utterly distracting that is in a pitch black theater to have those things light up? And what in the blazing hell was wrong with her mom for not telling her to put the damn thing up?! And I don't care … [Read More...]

Pinished Failures…
... What does the term "pinished" mean? It refers to finished Pinterest projects. You know... when you see something cutesy on Pinterest and think "Oooo. I can totally make that!" Only you can't. You never can. No one can. It's all an illusion. A horrible lie to make you feel miserably inadequate. Like those skinny models in health magazines or those homeschooling blogs that make you feel suck-y about your Puerto Rican ass and parenting skills. Now that you know what Pinterest is and what the term means allow me to present, for your amusement, projects that people pinished the hell out of. Nailed it! … [Read More...]
Warm and Fuzzy Nun Gazing Edition…
... I wish I knew the source for this photo of these scrumptious little nuns. Someone sent it to me on facebook page knowing my desire to HUG ALL THE NUNS! and these little lasses are certainly most huggable. Whaaaat? Are you shocked I have a heart and like adorable kids? I know... I've been a bit brash as of late. I'm on a diet so everything pisses me off right now. As you can clearly read below. … [Read More...]
Die, Gosnell! Die!
... If there was ever a human being deserving of the death penalty it is Kermit Gosnell. A death sentence would be justice served. Does this mean I'm a big ole pro-life hypocrite and think only the babies are worth saving? No. It means I believe in fitting punishments for the severity of the crime. Gosnell murdered babies in the most gruesome manner imaginable. He kept their severed feet as trophies. For that I believe the death penalty is a just punishment. Now I like Abby Johnson well enough. She's a heroic champion of the pro-life movement. We also have quite a lot in common; however, that doesn't mean I have to agree with everything she says. And in this particular … [Read More...]
Local Abortion Mill In Charlotte Closed By Health Department…
... Ya'll pro-abortion advocates still want to act like Kermit Gosnell was the exception and not the rule in the abortion mill industry? Truth is, filthy conditions and unethical business practices are the norm. This is not a business conducted in the best interest of women. It's an assembly line style of "care" where the bottom line is the all mighty dollar at the expense of women's health and safety. It always has been and always will be about money and never about "choice". When you support abortion you promote infanticide and the exploitation of women in what is probably one of the most emotionally traumatic times of their lives. And the best we can do for them is un-sterile … [Read More...]
Three Year Old “Celebrates” Mass, Breaks Internet With Cuteness Overload…
Bogotá, Colombia, May 9, 2013 / 12:00 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- A three-year-old Colombian boy has garnered attention across the internet for a video in which he dons priestly garments and “celebrates” Mass, reciting the liturgy from memory. Samuel Jaramillo, who is an orphan, lives with his grandmother and an aunt in the city of Medellin. When family members posted a video of the boy pretending to celebrate Mass on YouTube, it gained rapid popularity, attracting nearly 300,000 views in just over a week. His relatives told reporters that last Christmas, Jaramillo did not ask for toys like most kids his age. Instead, he wanted “priest’s clothes” and the objects necessary … [Read More...]

Husbands, sons, priests – my plea to you to not ruin Mother’s Day…
... re-posting my most favorist Mother's Day post. Originally posted May 10, 2012. Ah, Mother's Day. Not my favorite of favorite holidays but it's gotten better. In all fairness the holiday never stood a chance with me. Growing up, my relationship with my mom was strained. So strike one for Mother's Day. Then my first ever Mother's Day as a new mom I mourned the loss of my infant son. Strike two. I went to mass alone and left in tears when the priest asked all the mother's in the congregation to stand up and receive a special blessing. Note to all you priests out there reading this, for the love of all that's holy, be sensitive to the women who have suffered the pain of … [Read More...]
Sex Reassignment Surgery For Children? Two Words… CHILD ABUSE.
... And here are two more; medical malpractice. But mostly, child abuse. From Daily Mail, an old article that is getting a lot of circulation in social media right now but is still vile and horrific; The Little Boy Who Started A Sex Change At Eight Years of Age Because His Lesbian Parents Always Knew He Wanted To Be A Girl The lesbian parents of an 11-year-old boy who is undergoing the process of becoming a girl last night defended the decision, claiming it was better for a child to have a sex change when young. Thomas Lobel, who now calls himself Tammy, is undergoing controversial hormone blocking treatment in Berkeley, California to stop him going through puberty as … [Read More...]

Cohabitation is a smack in the face …
... Working in real estate affords me a candid peek into different types of living arrangements, many of which are considered unconventional. You'd think I'd be used to some things having been in this business close to a decade. But I will never ever get used to the well meaning parents who casually co-sign for their children to cohabitate with their significant others. That, that right there blows my mind. I cannot even begin to count the number of bright young girls who've sat at this desk across from me dumbly smiling because they believe they're taking their relationship to the "next level". As a former dumb girl, their naivete I can excuse. The parents, on the other hand, … [Read More...]
Girly Blather Meets Molto Bello Monday and Baseball …

Ladies, you are welcome. Men, look away. And speaking of God's creation, the beautiful man, how have I not watched baseball sooner? No seriously. It took my son getting involved in the sport before I noticed this whole new world of big armed, broad shouldered men. … [Read More...]
Advertisements Only Children Can See…
This Ad Has a Secret Anti-Abuse Message That Only Kids Can See In an effort to provide abused children with a safe way to reach out for help, a Spanish organization called the Aid to Children and Adolescents at Risk Foundation, or ANAR for short, created an ad that displays a different message for adults and children at the same time. The secret behind the ad's wizardry is a lenticular top layer, which shows different images at varying angles. So when an adult—or anyone taller than four feet, five inches—looks at it they only see the image of a sad child and the message: "sometimes, child abuse is only visible to the child suffering it." But when a child looks at the ad, … [Read More...]
Anonymous Hackers Threaten Diocese With Blackmail if They Don’t Reinstate Gay Teacher…
... In other words, be bullied to surrender your moral convictions; the left's "tolerance" where all your morals are belong to us. Sources, here and here at Catholic Bandita. As the Diocese of Columbus is standing firm on the decision to fire a teacher who is openly living in a lesbian relationship, Anonymous readies the hammer to drive the nails into the Body of Christ as the group has issued a public threat of blackmail against the diocese. The hacktivist group, Anonymous, is threatening to dig up dirt on members of the Columbus Catholic Diocese if a fired gay teacher is not allowed to return to her job at Bishop Watterson High School. I'm not too worried. … [Read More...]
When We Practice To Deceive, Semantics and Redefining What Abortion is…
... I know it can be hard to talk about pro-life issues with someone who is adamantly pro-abortion. It's an emotionally charged topic where logic and respect for differing opinions can get tossed out the window in favor of yelling and screaming. Having walked a hundred thousand miles in the shoes of a pro-abortion advocate I can indeed empathize, so I know arguing with someone is not the way. No, the most effective way to change minds on the issue is to show people what abortion really is and to educate them about human development. That's why I find those who deliberately spread misinformation about abortion particularly vile and contemptible ... "I'm not a real … [Read More...]
When the Boy Scouts is Boy in Gender Only and Not in Essence…
... Do you know how hard it is to cultivate in my son's life these pockets of boyish refuge? Exceptionally hard. Young men are constantly surrounded by a cloud of femininity that is hostile to their boyhood. Teachers especially. The education system is dominated by women, most of whom do not have the time, patience, or know how to educate fidgety young men. When teachers aren't telling our boys to shut up and sit still, the media and entertainment industries fill in the gaps of the chorus. Enter the Boy Scouts. The Boy Scouts is such an attractive notion to parents of young men because it promised to provide that refuge, giving boys the opportunities they need to learn … [Read More...]
Kentucky Woman “Ordained” As Priest…
... Ordained, in quotes. Just calling yourself something doesn't make it so. You can call me "Your Majesty" all you want but it won't make me Queen of the Internet. Without wasting more mental energy than this story deserves, I'll just point out the sad obvious fact that this is really about obedience and humility and Rosemarie Smead's lack of it. … [Read More...]

Five Favorite Things…
... What? Don't judge. I like girly blather. In fact girly blather is one of my favorite things. 1 - Girly Blather I like pretty frocks, Downton Abbey, hirsute men who smoke pipes and have Scottish accents, and shoes. Ooooo, I love shoes. I like retro hairstyles and black eyeliner. And I love pinterest. In fact, I have a regular feature where I blubber on and on about some makeup product or the time I got my hair stuck in the typewriter at work. And other silly girlish prattle. I am a girl after all and this is my blog, so deal with it. Speaking of girly blather... 2 - Super Black Handmade Lacquers Did you know Natalie Dee is making nail polish now? No, … [Read More...]

No Mercy For You, Says Mosque to Boston Bomber’s Family…
... The Soup Nazi would be proud. American authorities have told the family that they can have Tsarnaev’s body, and an uncle approached the mosque to request a burial and funeral but was declined, said the aunt, Patimat Suleimanova. She said that she did not know the name of the mosque but that it was one the family attended. A mosque in Cambridge, Mass., has said that Tsarnaev attended and occasionally caused disruptions and that mosque leaders threatened to kick him out. A spokesman for the mosque, run by the Islamic Society of Boston, has said that congregants have been questioned by the FBI. The mosque did not immediately return a request for comment Wednesday … [Read More...]
The Boston Bomber’s Widow and Abusive Relationships…
... Reading about Katherine Russell/Karima Tsarnaev, the widow of Boston bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev, reminds me specifically of two woman. The first was an old friend who married a seemingly wonderful man too young, had his children, then watched him transform into a controlling and abusive "devout" Muslim. The second woman was me. Sarah. My friend "Sarah"* met her husband in college and fell quickly in love. Sarah was a cradle Catholic and her husband, "Hassan"*, was a Muslim but not practicing. He was Americanized, having been born in the US, and even showed interest in her faith. After they married Hassan started attending RCIA and was in the process of converting to … [Read More...]
I don’t do earth day…
I will never understand how people can weep over a "dead" tree and then celebrate the destruction of human life in the womb. Or how these same uber militant environmentalists think nothing of polluting the water supply and their bodies with chemically manufactured cancer causing abortificants. The same thing applies to Genetically Modified Organisms. GMO in food, bad. GMO in the human gene pool, scientific progress. I have no patience for hippies and their contradictory mentality. Hiss. Spit. Growl. … [Read More...]
