So my SIL, one of my very bestest friends ever, is moving on Friday far far away to a land called Portland. She's one of the few people I enjoyed visits from no matter the state of my house, my children or my sanity. We get along brilliantly, laugh hysterically together and she doesn't mind if I occasionally touch her inappropriately as we pass in ( Read more... )

All right this might be a toughie since I have numbers in my username and I can say with certainty that I have no songs that begin with an underscore so I just chose the one song I have that starts with punctuation even if it isn't the same punctuation as in my username. ;) Here goes though, none are chosen for any particular reason but I did stick ( Read more... )

I wrote this for myself, but I'm posting it just in case anyone wants to read it as there are a few who were aware of what was happening while it was going on and I guess I felt like I wanted to make it available. My grandmother, whom I love dearly and was very close to left this world on December 24, 2007. I needed to write it all down while it ( Read more... )

So, on this day upon which I have learned that my landlord has finally decided to he isn't going to complete the building project on our property an dinstead is going to sell the project, meaning we will have to move soon, I realize how very tired I am of moving.

I mean, who else but a mom--someone who has experienced the difficulty of picking something up while 40 weeks pregnant--would think that Wingardium Leviosa would be the best ( Read more... )

I needed to say that I love that the TNR community profile page says "Crew" today instead of "community" and instead of whatever it normally says about submitting your post at the bottom, it says "update captain's log". Very appropriate ( Read more... )

There is no snazzy "About the Author" page in this one and I had clearly learned about Roman Numerals here because it says "Year Made--MCMLXXXIV" on the title page, so...1984? I moved in fifth grade when I was 10, so this had to have been done in the second half of fourth grade when I was 9 years old. It is heavy on text. ;)Once again, no spelling ( Read more... )

This story I wrote in the third grade, at 8 years old. Typed exactly as written too. On my Autobiography page, I wrote "I like to read about elves and fairies and leprechauns." Truly, some things never do change.:D I had read The Hobbit the year before and was probably getting started on The Lord of the Rings around the time I wrote this.

Inspired by scrtkpr's journal entry a while ago by the same-ish title, I am posting my early literary efforts here because I told her I would ( Read more... )
