Blame it on the genes...

So, for the past few weeks I've been home for the holidays (note: the increase in blogposts b/c I have wifi again!) and I'm reminded of why I'm naturally so weird.

Story #1:

So we go to grocery store. My dad pokes donuts to see if they're soft, then he takes one out and bites it! Literally, eats half of it right there and I'm like, "Dad, what are you doing!" and he's like "I had to check if it was soft!"

Then we're checking out our groceries and the person stops to try and figure out how many donuts we have, and he's like "What happened to this one?" *points at half-chewed donut* and my dad goes: "I had to test if it was stale or not."
Clerk: "And if it wasn't?"
Dad: "Then it would've been left with the others." 


Story # 2:


So, conversation with my mom today/yesterday.
Me: *talks about friend and his job or something.*
Mom: Oh, so that's what CG stands for!
Me thinking: What? - And then it clicks. - "You stalked his facebook didn't you?"
Mom: Isn't that what facebook's for? To stalk people?

    Thanks for the laugh :) I used to work in a store and I'll never forget a customer doing that with licorice at the checkout stand...except they WERE stale and he thrust them in my face to dispose of :D

How Saint Philomena Found me a Husband

By Cara E. Ruegg You often hear it said, “To Saint Philomena, God refuses nothing.” Saint John Vianney was the author of those words. He loved Philomena. Pauline Jaricot, another devotee of Philomena, who was alive during the Cure’s time and who was healed by Philomena herself, came to him one day with relics of this dear saint, and told him, “Have full confidence in this great saint; she will obtain for you all that you ask.”   John Vianney claims he felt a love enkindled in his heart for Philomena soon as he got hold of her relics. He often referred to her as his “dear little saint”, going so far as to blame all the miracles wrought through him, on her. In fact, when he was at death’s door and the doctors had given up all hope of his recovery, it was through the intercession of Philomena that he was miraculously cured. (www.philomena.org/vianney.asp) Despite all this, despite the fact so many saints and even popes have praised her to the skies, I never thought

St. Don Bosco's Discipline Methods

By: Cara E. Ruegg Saint John Bosco is known for his care for the youth. His methods were perhaps seen as “new age” during his time, even though he drew inspiration from those before him such as St. Francis de Sales. His methods clearly bore good fruit, however, despite scrutiny from others. Under his care arose a great saint: Dominic Savio. He likewise converted many who were seen as hopeless cases. Below I have summarized one of Don Bosco’s writings: The Preventative System . In it, he outlines his discipline methods that bore such good fruit. I feel it can be easily applied both to educators as well as parents. Corporal Punishment is Largely Ineffective   Don Bosco says, "With the young, punishment is everything that is meant as a punishment. Thus it is known that a reproachful look is more effective than a blow...To strike one in anyway...and other similar punishments should be absolutely avoided." (pg 3) Punishment Should be Administered Privately "Except in very

My Home Water Birth During a Snowstorm

By: Cara E. Ruegg You were four days late and I was anxious for your arrival. My last midwife appointment, I was told I was measuring two weeks ahead; it was implied maybe I had gestational diabetes after all but I had been monitoring my sugars with my glucometer, something I thought far more accurate anyway, and fasting and after meals was still normal even with dessert, so I don’t think it was that. The midwife suggested I consider an ultrasound to check your weight to see if we should do the hospital route. She said she was trained to handle shoulder dystocia even at home but would prefer more hands. I remembered with your brother how inaccurate that last ultrasound was, nearly two pounds off. I also later did research and found maternal outcomes were better when the woman didn’t know her child would be big. It made sense. Fear is the enemy of labour. I was told though if you came before the ultrasound, we’d just go ahead with the home birth, so I was now ready for you to come, wher
