Television:

If it incessantly repeats itself and translates itself into other languages for the edification of my child, then it is viewed ad nauseum. If it predicts the weather, then it is viewed ad nauseum.

What Type of Fairy Would You Be?

You are a Frost Fairy
You are the most independent of all the fairies. You more than accept change, you relish it. Your free spirited and uncontrolled. Your strength draws people to you. You stand your ground and are not afraid of conflict. You are self-reliant and expect no one to take care of you. You enjoy your time alone and use it to collect your thoughts. Without your solitude, you become frantic and easily distracted. You connect in a relationship using your aggressive sexuality. People are often put off by your confident personality, and are not sure how to take your bluntness. This will cause others to shy away from you. As all fairies are pack rats.., you surround yourself with tokens of the past to remind you who you are and artwork to stimulate your mind.

The Great Powder Shake

So, we brought Esme home from the hospital two weeks ago tomorrow!  Hard to believe it's been that long already.  Ainsley's reaction was much more positive than we'd anticipated, but we trie...

Schatze

Oh my goodness!!  I caught a glimpse of myself today in a large mirror at the antique mall.  My belly is so big and round, much bigger than with Ainsley.  I tucked my shirt under it to ...

Reno and Warding

"Mama, that box is too heavy for me!  I can't lift it up in the sky!  I can't flap my wings!"  That's Ains referring to the stack of slate tile by the stairs.  We have 2/3 ton of ...

Potpourri

Schatze's kicking like crazy these days.   Nobody calls her that besides Daddy Ains and me.  It's a little too alien for everybody else I guess, since they refuse to say it.  My si...
