Stacy Writes: October 2009
http://stacywritenow.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 5, 2009. Book rattles and settles me. I recently searched for the book. The Girl in the Orange Dress. By Margot Starbuck at a bookstore. I couldn't find it. Disappointed, but knowing there are alternative methods I searched online. It arrived in my mailbox along with my city tax bill. To be immersed in faith (and church) and to still have these issues, rattled me. Her honesty about how she struggled and dealt with the issues, settled me. Now, off to something completely different . Enter ...

Stacy Writes: February 2010
http://stacywritenow.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 19, 2010. This week, the Creative Writers of Del Rio did a "quick write" about why we each write. The group formed a year ago after a new resident Diane Stroud discovered she missed her writer's group in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. She gathered writers one by one. Today, Diane has moved on to cooler climates, but her legacy remains on Wednesdays as now up to 14 writers gather to share their current works in progress or just a frustration or two about a computer glitch.

Stacy Writes: Hey Texans, don't forget to mail it in!
http://stacywritenow.blogspot.com/2010/03/hey-texans-dont-forget-to-mail-it-in.html
Wednesday, March 31, 2010. Hey Texans, don't forget to mail it in! Hey remember that Census form you received in the mail several weeks ago, DON'T FORGET TO SEND IT IN! I was surfing the net on Tuesday and found a blog post. The baby arrived almost two months early — I was going to have bigger things to worry about than whether or not my household was accurately reflected in the Census. Why is sending the Census form so important? While you may think you're helping the economy by giving this person a job...

Stacy Writes: May 2010
http://stacywritenow.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 3, 2010. See Something, Say Something. I think the man who reported the suspicious vehicle in Times Square deserves to be called a hero. When I first heard the news that parts of the area were evacuated due to a vehicle, I suspected it was nothing like so many unattended bags, packages and vehicles are. In this case, it was. Something and could have potentially killed or hurt a lot of people. The T-shirt vendor wasn't enthusiastic about talking to the media. Stacy S. Jensen.

Stacy Writes: July 2009
http://stacywritenow.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 15, 2009. Is this your first summer here? It's been toasty here in Del Rio. Like many places in Texas, the weather has been in the triple digit range for several weeks. The weather is haywire when you get giddy at a high of 98. I have tried several different strategies to ignore the weather:. 1 Don't focus on the numbers. With the Texas winds, walking outside feels like an opening the oven door anyway. Does it really matter if it is 98 or 105? While I haven't been 100 percent successful, ...

Stacy Writes: Georgia on my mind today
http://stacywritenow.blogspot.com/2010/03/georgia-on-my-mind-today.html
Monday, March 15, 2010. Georgia on my mind today. The cost of a college education has been on the minds of many recently. This morning, I saw a report about Georgia college students taking their complaints to the Gold Dome in Atlanta. Rightfully, students want lawmakers to see the people who will be impacted by their cuts. Some parents have told me that funding anything at this point may be a bad idea or worse — make me bitter. Yes, I was scratching my head, too. It turns out, parents who p...When I went...

Stacy Writes: For Kick Ass: I looked away
http://stacywritenow.blogspot.com/2010/04/for-kick-ass-i-looked-away.html
Wednesday, April 21, 2010. For Kick Ass: I looked away. 8217;t my thing. I could barely watch the movie trailer for the new Nightmare on Elm Street. I can’t remember what version or number it is in the series, but I didn. 8217;t dare look at it. For those in the movie, you don’t dare fall asleep or “Freddy” or whatever the guy’s name is will get you! Having said that — I watched the movie Kick Ass. And it was brutally violent. 8220;It’s supposed to be funny,” I told my friend Julie. Yes Did I watch it?

Stacy Writes: Oh, it's Census time again
http://stacywritenow.blogspot.com/2010/03/oh-its-census-time-again.html
Tuesday, March 9, 2010. Oh, it's Census time again. I received a letter yesterday and I thought it was my family's Census questionnaire. It was not. It was a letter explaining how I will receive a letter. Silly, maybe, but the content is not. About one week from now, you will receive a 2010 Census form in the mail.". The first line was bold. I'm not exaggerating. While it may be an important task, it doesn't take a lot of time. It takes about 10 minutes to answer 10 questions. And, bonus — ...And learn m...
