Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

Hello, I’m Copper’s Wife, and I love the Internet. You reply, in unison, “Hello, Copper’s Wife.” Okay, it’s not THAT bad.  I do love the Internet and the wonderful things I can find there…..answers to medical questions, information to answer a child’s homeschooling question (What is this the shell of, Mom?), what’s the weather look…

Several little random things popping up that I want to share. First, two of my favorite singers are both releasing albums in November.  Do we still call them albums????  Anyway, Dani discovered that both Andrea Bocelli and Josh Groban have CD’s coming out in November.  I can listen to those two sing until the cows…

It never fails.  We cannot help ourselves, it seems.  We love to compare ourselves to others.  Favorably, of course!  We think that our whatever-it-is is the best.  We think that the other guy’s is lacking.  And we verbalize it.  Oh, it doesn’t sound too bad.  We have our ways of saying things to make them…

One of my all-time favorite decorating/homemaking books is Terry Willits’ Creating a SenseSational Home. This is a book that I’ve read almost every year since purchasing it.  Sadly, it’s out of print, but used copies are still available beginning around $5.00 here. This book inspires me to look at my home in a different manner.  We…

First of all, I do want to thank all of you who entered my Fall Give Away drawing.  It was wonderful hearing from some of you who normally  just “lurk”.  Your comments are valuable to me, and they are a great way for me to get to know you better. Mrs.KBrook – Copper took your package…

I generally don’t give my poor washing machine a second thought.  I thoughtlessly turn it on to begin filling, throw in some laundry detergent and other chemicals cleaning agents and then fill it with our dirty clothes.  I expect to come back, less than an hour later, and find our stinky socks transformed into gleaming…

Copper and I have had the best news this morning!!  Wonderful news!!!  But I’m not going to tell you what it is.  Nope!  It’s not really my news to share.  Nope.  No hints even.  You’ll have to visit Corin’s blog to find out.  Because I’m not giving even the slightest hint.  You can’t make me! …

Did you all have a blessed Lord’s Day?  We sure did!  An amazingly sweet day. After weeks of hot (well, at least very warm weather) heading into the fall, we finally got a taste of fall weather on Sunday.  The weather was remarkably cooler, requiring sweaters for the ladies and bringing back more suit coats…

Earlier this evening I wrote down the names of all of you who left comments on slips of paper.  If you left an apple recipe in the comments section, I wrote your name down twice.  At 10:00 p.m. (PST), I checked for any last minute entries, and then Copper drew the winner from the hat…

I had to laugh yesterday.  Dani was fretting and madly rinsing out the apron she’d been wearing.  Why?  She’d been cleaning the kitchen sink and had splattered some bleach onto the apron.  Now, I do appreciate her immediately rinsing the apron before the bleach ate a hole in it, but she’s still fretting even today! …
