When I said there was ice everywhere, this is what I meant: In the less than 3 minutes it took me to get these shots, my face was numb with the cold. Yeah, I'm not going anywhere today....

Having lived in South Dakota for 9 years, I'm used to snow. So when people started running around like headless chickens yesterday at the prospect of a winter storm, I chuckled to myself and went about my business feeling somewhat superior. The winter storm rolled in alright, but we didn't get snow. We got ice. About 1/2 an inch of ice. Covering EVERYTHING. The tree in my front yard couldn't handle the weight of the ice and dropped a bough across the

I can see people's energy fields quite easily. I dunno how you're being taught, but I was told to look at someone with my eyes slightly out of focus - and the light that you see eminating from someone's body is their energy field. When you're starting out it's best to have a light neutral background color, such as beige - it makes it easier to see the energy field. This course that you're doing sounds really interesting, and I'm quite jealous that you get to do it!

I think that I'm exampt from playing this game seeing as how I have inside knowledge. Things aren't that bad at this base; we've got an AWESOME pediatrician who will stay until midnight if it means that the kids under his care are being treated properly. He's amazing, and (as I told him once) we are gonna be SOOOOOO screwed when he leaves. I'm sorry your little angel doesn't feel well, and I hope that she gets better soon!

I'm glad that you're enjoying it so far. Yoga is one of my favorite things to do; it's an all-around wonderful exercise that pretty much everyone can enjoy. I finished the first baby beanie today and am half way through the second one. They're so tiny; I can fit them on a good sized apple - actually, I'll take a photo of the apples modelling them and post it before I send them off to you.

That just about sums up the way schools are getting to be, Mason. When my husband's grandmother passed away we pulled the kids from school for 4 days so we could attend her funeral. I called the school to tell them what had happened before we left, but when we got back we had a nasty-gram from the school, telling us that we should think carefully before depriving our kids their education for something so 'frivilous' as a vacation. I wrote them a letter back and went off on them. I

Hey, I have curves too! Since I gained some weight I've developed an hourglass shape...and I have to admit, I'm kinda likin' it! Now if I could just reduce the size of my ass......

I LOVE the 'Clean Linen' scent, I have it plug-in's, sprays and candles in that scent. Apart from the smell of cooking food, I think that it's the most inviting fragrance. I clean my kitchen counters with a Lysol product every day, and I sweep and mop the kitchen and hallway tiled floors every day (I use Pine-Sol in the mop water, to me it smells 'clean'). The rugs get vacuumed daily too. I dust twice a week and clean the bathrooms once a week - my bathroom isn't tha

I've had a sick kid at home for the past 2 days. Jake started coughing Saturday and kept us all awake Sunday and last night with his hacking. He's on a prescription cough medicine that's got codeine in it to supress his cough reflex, but it aint workin'. Tonight I'm giving him (under medical advice, now - don't be thinking that I'm drugging my child up all willy nilly) some diphenhydramine (that's Benadryl, in case you were wondering) so he - and WE - can get some sleep

Never underestimate the stupidity of people in large groups. If she was in a crowd, that theory would work. As it was, she was alone. It does not surprise me. It goes directly to my article on Cack-a-lators

First of all, it's nice to 'see' you. Secondly, I too hope that your sister's friend will triumph over her illness, and I too will send some good thoughts her way. A couple of weeks after I first started blogging here at JU, I found a lump in my breast. A big lump, about 4cm across and visible underneath my skin. As it turns out it was scar tissue and completely benign, but the moth long period between my discovering it and getting it removed was enough time for me t

Oh wow! She's TWO!! It seems like just yesterday that you sent me the photo of her in her beanie and we were all reading about her birth and how you only just made it to the hospital in time and had her in the ER rather than OB! Good lord, time flies! Connor looks so big, too! These are wonderful photos and you have just beautiful children!

I liked it. Tell me was it in anyway based on an actual person. It would be even funnier if it was. Thank you! It WAS based on an actual person. I was in line at the store this afternoon when I saw the guy I based this on. He wasn't retarded, but he looked like he should have been, which gave me the idea for this story.&nbs

I'm glad that you enjoyed your holiday. Maybe one year we'll live close enough together that you can come and experience Thanksgiving (or any other holiday) at Dharma's house.

I saw him standing in line for the checkouts. At first glance he looked as though he had some kind of genetic defect, some kind of retardation. He looked like one of modern man's ancestors with his sloping brow and thick lips, not to mention his longer-than-average arms and thick, hairy knuckles. He was neatly dressed but his ensemble had a 'too neat' air to them, as if his mother had chosen his clothes for him and he had been given no say in the matter whatsoever. </P

I gave his Empness an insightful rating for his comment - he said everything I wanted to say and did so far more eloquently than I could ever have....and that's why I love him and his fire-headed wife. His opinion and mine are the same, in case you were wondering. I agree with his wife's opinion of you, too...and I'm sorry if anything I've said has offended or made you feel uncomfortable in any way.

Ooh, how exciting! 2 little chickies and one little dude! I'm going to cast on their beanies this afternoon, and I'm going to make them preemie size (I'll make them bigger ones later), and I'm also going to try to put the initial of their first name on the front of each hat. Tabitha, Chloe and Parrish, right? Those are some very cool names, btw. Not too common, either, especially your son's name. Are you getting used to saying that, btw? 'My son' or

I had to go to my local craft chain store this afternoon to pick up some Merino yarn. I had hoped to avoid going to ANY store this weekend because of the Christmas shopping crowds, but the project I'm working on has a deadline and I HAD to get the yarn today. The line at the register wasn't bad at all, and I was pleased to find a line that only had three customers in it. The people in front of me paid for their purchase with a $20 bill, which caused the cashier some proble
