What Kind of Princess are you?

What Kind of Princess are You? – Beautiful Artwork (Original Music is BACK!!!) The Noble Princess: You are just and fair, a perfectionist with a strong sense of proper decorum. You are very attracted to chivalry, ceremony and dignity. For the most part you are rather sensible, but you are also very idealistic. Role Models: Guinevere, Princess Fiona (of Shrek) […]

TV IS GOING.

MY tv – the one on my desk – is going back in my closet. It has become MUCH too much the center of my kids’ lives. It’s a BAD thing. It’s going. Today. Urgh.

John Luke is growing!

I can hardly believe it. At 3.5 months, he can reach the ground in his walker and actually MOVE it a little! He is such a delight! He reaches for his toys now and plays with what he can grasp. He loves bead-mover type toys.

Lost my diamond.

It occurred to me, vaguely, in the night, that my ring was catching on things a lot more than usual (it’s always caught on things, because the diamond sticks up a bit in the middle). I looked at it this morning, when it really registered (and I was awake) and the diamond is gone.

“No Choice”???

Oh, brother!! The political cartoonists are screeching about “no choice” in South Dakota. I beg to differ! People are no longer allowed to have abortions — to KILL their babies — in South Dakota. Yay, SD! They do, however, have a CHOICE. They *choose* whether they will have sex – “protected” or otherwise. They *choose* to be intimate with people, […]

Ugh [shudder] awful dream!

That was entirely weird. In my dream, I dreamed that I had another baby, fairly close to this one… and was nursing both, but hadn’t seen or nursed one of them in about three days!! Both were boys… both were quite small. But the one I hadn’t nursed was the older of the two, and was lethargic when I found […]

My quilt – and walking update

I don’t know if you remember, but around the end of 2004 I put together a quilt top that I’d made from old jeans; I layered it sometime the beginning of 2005. It’s been sitting, waiting to be quilted, since then. I gave up on that idea and tied it, instead. It looks ok, I think. All I have left […]

New project!

I found a couple of really inexpensive knitting books at Unclaimed Baggage today. So, I bought 2 pr of knitting needles at Wal*Mart and began to learn to knit!

How’s that for motivation?

I suggested to Robby that he have the boys each do a half-hour turn in their bedroom, cleaning, and reward the one who did the best. He agreed that sounded like a good idea, and while Rae & I were gone, he did so. Bob won. So they are now off bowling – something the boys love to do, but […]

Date #4

Today Rae & I went out. We started by swimming – and got quite a workout! We swam about 400 yards, back and forth, and a little more if you count what we did at each end between lengths. After we showered & changed, we went to eat at Mariachi, a local Mexican restaurant, where we shared a “nachos supremos” […]
