Le Sigh
I really need some cool new avvies. Without sounding bad, I need some things which *aren't* my kids. I mean, I have an identity too, right? RIGHT?????? Something Witch-y, or Lord of the Rings-y. Or, or Dr. Who-y. Or, or Due South-y. Or something. I am no good at making them. Any takers? I'm willing to work out a trade for some lovely handmade item! -

I hope Christmas isn't *quite* this exciting every year.
Gwendolyn Sarah and Caroline Antonia arrived on December the 23rd at 4:15 am and then 4:20 am! It all went really smoothly for them coming at 34 weeks. Labor was *exactly* 12 hours. Funnily enough, I'd been in for a 24 hour observation, and was 10 minutes away from walking out the door and going home. About 15 minutes after Steffen got there to ( Read more... ) -
Why the dear sweet English make me laugh...reason # 9,728
As you all know, I come from north-ish western Illinois (I could be in Cananda in 3 hours). The land of ice and snow. And sleet. And rain, and well...pretty much extreme everything, weather wise.
Now, here is why I chuckle. (Canadian friends will get the humor as well.)
There's one half of one half of a millimetre of snow on the ground (it's ( Read more... ) -

Love, the Most Powerful Nation in the World.
I'm no Patrtiot Missile, gang, and you all know I am as disillusioned as the next guy with the US. But this thing has been circulating for aaaages. In alot of ways it's funny, and it's true. However, the British have been warmongering for a helluva lot longer than we have, so I'm gonna respond. I do this with my tongue planted FIRMLY in my cheek. I ( Read more... ) -

THE STORY OF MABON Author Unknown (told to me by so many people, I've forgotten where I heard it first!)
From the moment of the September Equinox, the Sun's strength diminishes, until the moment of the Winter Solstice in December, when the Sun grows stronger and the days once again become longer than the nights...
During this time Mabon, Young Son, ( Read more... )
