Silver Plume

*personal favourite

Have fun pretending you’re Irish for a day!

Some of this you may know already…

1. The name on my original birth certificate was Christina Marie but my parents had it changed to Christina Dawn a few weeks after I was born because they were tired  of people saying “What a nice Italian name!” “What a nice Catholic name!”

2.  I first got drunk when I was 23, alone, on a bottle of peach sparkling wine

3.  I have a tattoo on my lower back.  I got it when I was 20, at the same time that my BFF Kim got her nose pierced.  And of course she let that close up after a few months, but I still have a tattoo on my lower back.  It’s in Kanjii (so 90’s) and is the characters for redemption, specifically redemption of sin.  I copied it out of an English to Kanjii dictionary.  I have also pierced the cartilage in top of my left ear, but let it close up.  I still think about getting other tattoos even though I’m not stoked on the one I have any more.

If you were raised by Fundamentalist/Evangelical [read: Fundagelical] Christian parents or have hyper-Fundagelical Christian grandparents, you’ll appreciate this devotional cover that my brother found- and if not, you’ll appreciate it anyway (and maybe commiserate with me?):

My parents and grandparents were always trying to force me to read things like this.
(Also note: “Author of IF GOD LOVES ME, WHY CANT I GET MY LOCKER OPEN?“)

Ok so just in case you haven’t seen this yet, this blogger made a Sarah Palin Baby Name Generator, in honor of the totally whack names that her kids have (ok mainly just Trig & Track)… so, my name was translated as “Claw Washout Palin” and Seth’s was… well… “Meat Notgay Palin”.  LOL

You have to do it and post your “Palin name” in the comment section of this post.  Please. Please.

This was just too weird for me not to copy and post- found today on Ebay… don’t quite know whether to laugh or cry… this is just bizarre. I never understand people who will post their life stories on Ebay.

ATTENTION BUYERS Please Read :The NEW E BAY RULES has opened the door for SOME DIS-HONEST E BAY buyers to steal from me my Merchandise & MY money and my time. I am selling off my best Years of COLLECTING to pay for a trip i had to take recently that cost me $50,000.00 on credit card bills to take care of my mother who died of lung cancer. (she never smoked!?) Plane trips to the east coast , her medical bills, then my step father and his children stole all her property and sent me her funeral bills.
