I found her on Itunes, her song “Bubbly” was the free single of the week. I downloaded that, plus Realize and Magic. It took me maybe a day to download the rest of the album, and it has been on constant rotation since then.
Her music is summery and light and touching. It has the [...]

Sam, his first day out and about in his new home
Meet Sam, the newest addition to the family. He is a small black cat who purrs much louder than his small stature would indicate.
Myra loves her new brother. When she met him for the first time, her tail was wagging at triple speed.
He follows her [...]

Me and Mik, one of my closest and bestest friends.
A lot of bloggly ladies have been playing tag, and posting eight facts about themselves.
I haven’t been tagged, but I wanted to play too, so I am
1. I have onion-phobia. I HATE onions. Smell, taste, raw, cooked. If there are onions in something, I [...]
I am a serial reader. I am always reading something, and very often, I have two books (or more) going on at the same time. I am currently reading Watership Down (in the bedroom) and Blood Red Horse (in the bathroom, yes, I am a bathroom reader…)
But since I hadn’t been paid in a long [...]

*No spoilers, I promise*
We went to our first (and last, sniff) Harry Potter release party Friday night, and had fun checking out all the costumes, and getting spells and such. T got a spell to make people’s pants split at the seams, I got one to encourage positive energy….
We saw Dobby, Lucius and Draco Malfoy, [...]
NEED to tone my reaction a bit…
Posted in kids, thoughts on July 16, 2007 | 2 Comments »
I’ve realized I tend to react rather strongly to the “Do you have kids” question.
My response is either “God, no” or an emphatic shaking of my head.

I can do a lot of girly (on my knees) push ups, but I used to not be strong enough to do real push ups, or at least not do more than one or two. So, I kept doing my girly push ups.
But I know I’m stronger now, thanks to weight training, so I decided [...]
I hold my dreams lightly
Posted in dreams, thoughts on July 16, 2007 | 1 Comment »
This was something I said in a dream, and I said it trying to describe how my dreams are always so close to the surface, and very real. Have you ever Charles De Lint? In his books, his characters can go into this dream world that is every much as real as theirs. [...]
Kitten love

I might have found my kitten. Actually, I’m pretty sure she chose me as much as I chose her.
Her name right now is Dandelion, I don’t know if I would keep that as her name if we keep her (the foster mom wants to adopt her with one of her kitten siblings, because kittens really [...]
