The road of self-discovery I’ve been trekking on lately has run through some pretty odd places. Some people go to Europe or China to find themselves. I think that’s silly because I’ve always known where I am I just didn’t understand what that had to do with anything. So I don’t bother going off someplace [...]

Since Gabrielle wrote a post about Mouse Guard…
I am now going to inflict on all of you a nifty thing I discovered about the game that most of you will really not care about.
So, in this game, I am playing the healer, Rosie. This is amusing, simply because I’m pretty much playing [...]

I’m sitting down to write a blog post, simply because it’s Sunday afternoon, and I’ve just remembered how much I like having friends.

Being an collection of odd likes, dislikes, interests and hobbies can be a bit peculiar sometimes. A thought from this part of my head will break loose from its moorings and drift off into that part of my head where it collides with something from over there and sparks a brand new thought process.

Yesterday being our weekly library day I found myself at the library (weird, I know). In the midst of trying to find something for Samuel that took far too long to find and then ended up being not what he’d wanted I stumbled on a book called Dr. Suess Goes to War. It is a [...]

This morning started well. The day didn’t look so hard, and even Theresa being gone with three of the older children all afternoon, there should be plenty of time for me to work on homework for my medical terminology class.

Today is Invisible Bob’s birthday. Ah, how well I remember the day Invisible Bob came to live with us. A few months ago I came upon Arianna and Justice coming down the stairs very slowly because, they explained, Justice was carrying Invisible Bob down the stairs. I don’t know why he needed to be carried, [...]
