Kids These Days
Last night I went to gather up my two little girls, who get their "outy time" upstairs while Freddy roams the parlour. Elise, as is her recent habit, was sleeping hard in the fabric shower curtain we just replaced with one that lets in more light. She continued to lie passively, all squinty-eyed and sleepy, as I carried her downstairs, and ( Read more... ) -
Studies In Comparative Endocrinology
It has come to the oft-wandering attention of the Witch that somewhere in fair Britain a women-only BDSM event called Tipping the Velvet is promoting a testosterone-free environment. With an asterisk. And the asterisk leads to the sweet little notation that Tipping the Velvet is for genetic girls only. In the name of testosterone reduction, ( Read more... ) -
If You Can't Find A Solution, What Do You Do With The Precipitate?
The Octopootie and the Witch have been talking, and have reached a Major Decision. There exists a situation, or possibly a small collection thereof. The main points here are as follows ( Read more... ) -
Another One Gone
I'm starting to be reluctant to go into the ferret room. Just before supper, I popped in to gather up some bedding to wash. Bailey, my lovely little soft-furred, bright-eyed foster with the amazing leaping ability and penchant for causing trouble, was lying on the floor in a pose that could mean only one thing. When I picked her up, she was ( Read more... ) -
Fruitcake By Request
Whirlwitch's FruitcakeMy own version of a recipe from a vegetarian restaurant. Totally vegan, alcohol- and fat-free, and otherwise virtuous. Totally does not taste like it either. You'd swear it was sinful ( Read more... ) -
Oh, No, She's Back!
This is the Witch blogging from the fine haven of Granolatown. In February my cousin died, not unexpectedly, but suddenly, and sooner than we might have thought. Not to be outdone, my beloved Charlotte followed suit, dropping dead in the middle of eating her soup. After that I didn't feel communicative for a while, although the Ferty Godmother ( Read more... ) -

Jerks In Bars - A Special Wilno Edition
So the Witch is out for the evening at that fine establishment, the Wilno Tavern. She has been strutting her differently-abled stuff on the dance floor until the band blipped off for a break, and has now bellied up to the bar for the purpose of snagging a much-needed iced tea. Enter an unkempt lout stage left, who glances down at the Witch's ever ( Read more... ) -
Shopping Spree
So I'm still sick, but on Tuesday I lugged myself out of bed because the alternative was the Octopup going to Ottawa to select cabinets without me. Can't let that happen! We fulfilled a top-secret shopping mission that will not become clear for another 36 hours, picked up the last of our stuff from the old house, and hit the Play Value to see if ( Read more... ) -
NeoCitran TKO
NeoCitran Total. Gotta love the stuff. The Witch is as sick as a dog, but with this delightful potion, is way too zonked to care. The Octopoot even managed to put up some garment hooks in the bedroom without waking the Witch. And since Octopound got sick first, and is eminently noisy when sick, the rest was very much needed ( Read more... )
