Monday morning came awfully early.

Today was my birthday. How did I get to be 58?

Valentine Roses
Children make a bouquet of roses to give to loved ones during this month of love, February or Valentine's Day.

Suggested for ages 4-8
Supplies:
Red or Pink Tissue Papers                Hole punch
Green Pipe Cleaners                           Greeting Card Paper                             
Ribbon                                                     Markers
Scissors

What to do:
Cut tissue paper into 2 inch wide strips, 18 inches long. Have children roll tissue paper strips lightly to form a rose. Then pinch the bottom of the roll to make the rose bottom. Take the green pipe cleaners and twist them around the pinched portion of the paper. Have children make as many as they like for that special loved one(s). After all the roses are completed, take another flat, whole piece of tissue paper and wrap it around the bunch of roses.
Tie it with the ribbon. Use the hole punch to make a hole in the card to string the ribbon on the bunch of roses to attach the card.
Final step, ready to give!

With the Super Bowl literally just around the corner, this cover of TIME caught my attention. Seeing the deflated football on the front hit me like a brick. My first thought was, “oh great, more bad publicity for football again.” So I picked up the magazine to further investigate the article.

So after being without my home computer for a week, I was stuck at home on my day off with cell phone as my only source to the outside world with work awaiting me.

It was time to let my fingers to the typing or texting as this case may be, but this time it got me into trouble.
I committed the fateful, yet, not uncommon error. Yes, I was guilty.

It's too bad the Colts are playing the Saints.

Gaby Camacho McAddo, a graduate of Yantis High School, is a hero to a lot of Haitians, but most especially to one five-year-old little boy named Monley, who was trapped under the rubble of his home for nine days in Port-au-Prince.

Earlier this month South Carolina downed mighty No. 1 Kentucky in college basketball.

I will stick with the picks I made in September.
