I have a favour to ask of any of my German-speaking lj friends. My daughter is singing a song called "Minnelied" by Felix Mendelssohn, and she needs a literal translation of the words. Any help would be greatly appreciated ( Read more... )

HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, sesheta_66!!!!!!
I love you, sweetie! Hope you have a wonderful day!!!

OK. I admit that I haven't sat and watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in a long time, but does anybody else think that there are ENTIRELY TOO MANY clowns in the parade?

In about an hour, I'm leaving to go on a religious retreat with a bunch of seniors and juniors from my daughter's high school. I've been an adult leader on this retreat before, and it is always very intense and amazing. I will be out of touch and offline for the next 4 days.

Seems I am embedded in a number of WIPs lately (see my last post). However, I failed to mention another wonderful WIP I've been enjoying called the Settlement series by celandineb.

The rules are simple. Just create a post about a few things that have made you happy recently. Then tag 8 people and have them post this meme on their journals ( Read more... )

Sorry for spamming the flist tonight, but it's actually not too busy at work. This is almost unheard of. I've probably just cursed myself.
So, I've been meaning for the last couple of weeks to wish the amazing psychobarfly a Happy Birthday. She writes one of my favourite Dracos EVAH in her weekly RPG (dracolicious along with taradiane's boywholives). If you've never read it, you're ( Read more... )
