I’ve waffled on several pictures, thinking at first that they made me sad, but realizing as I peered closer that the sadness had a strong underlying love to it. A picture of my Grandpa and Oma’s wedding, for example. I’m sad that he’s gone, and I miss him beyond words, but the picture thrills me [...]

LOLTruff. It gets me every time.
(The darling holding her is my baby sister, Hallospacecat over on DoA. She had actually just stepped on Truffle’s rawhide, which must be what Truffle is laughing about.)

So, we’ll catch up today.
Day 5: Favorite quotation

This isn’t even fair. Like…not even close to fair. *sigh* I’ll try to narrow it down.

Every year when I lived at home, I was the Master of Ceremonies for Halloween, creating [...]

It’s nearly impossible for me to choose a one- time, no-questions favorite song of all time. My whole life has played out to music, and I love so many different styles, that this is almost as difficult as choosing my favorite book.
I suppose if I want to choose the song that has stayed with me [...]

I don’t know how interesting a run down it’ll be, but here we are.
-Learned to crochet from scratch. I was actually proficient enough to make several Christmas presents.
-Worked on my cooking track record. Went from 1 in 5 cooking disasters to 1 in 7. I actually now have meals that people request I make for [...]

I know I’d said that everything would be sent out Monday, but, er…that didn’t happen. BUT the important thing is that the last two packages did go out yesterday, so watch for them in the coming week (Sleeps, I have no clue how long it’ll take to get to you, since Canada Post hates me [...]
