I am truly blessed

in so many, many ways.

A little bit older, a little bit wiser

well, I don't know about the wiser part, but the older part is certainly true... happy day after my birthday to me!

A - Available?: Entirely un

B-Best friend: My husband, of course

C-Cake or Pie?: cake, unless we're talking pecan pie... or lemon meringue?

D -Drink of choice: jack and coke

E-Essential thing used everyday: I can't think of anything essential that isn't attached and/or shouldn't be 'used'... perhaps my digital camera, although it's not really 'essential' nor does it get used everyday

F-Favorite color: orange

G-Gummi bears or worms: worms

H-Hometown: San Mateo

I-Indulgence: Dr.Pepper, staying up way too late at night finishing something

J-January or February: February, it's short, I like short months, I wish there were more short months in the year... and also my best friend was born that month, and I married him in February too.

K-Kids and names: Yes, Life, Love, Health, and Prudence

L-Life: is wonderful

M-Marriage date:Valentine's... it's the only way to remember, if you can remember Valentine's that is, fortunately with all the commercialism involved it's hard to miss

O-Oranges or apples: Oranges... they are so beautiful (the color!)

P-Phobias: being stuck in a cramped dark tunnel with a crowd of kids in front of me and a crowd of kids coming fast behind and everyone screaming at once... in other words, that slide at the Gilbert House.... that and squished bug guts oozing into my pores.

Q-Quote: "It matter's not how straight the gate, how charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul."

R-Reason to smile: My peoples!

S-Season: Winsum... this is my imaginary season where the days are long, but it's not so terribly hot out.

T-Tag three people: ooh, no, I just don't do that... maybe it's another phobia?

U-Unknown fact about me:

V-Vegetable you don't like: Eggplant... is that a vegetable? I have no idea, it's so disgusting though, eeeww, blech, yuck.

W-Worst Habit: writing letters I never send

X-X-rays you have had: Teeth, lungs, my whole torso

Y-Your favorite food: watermelon... I know there must be a god just because -watermelon!!!

Z-Zodiac: Cancer

Earthlings

A couple weeks ago I happened upon this video -I don't know why I watched it, considering I don't eat animals why torment myself? Honestly, I couldn't even watch the whole thing, but I definitely believe it is something everyone that isn't vegan absolutely SHOULD watch... it's important to know what you are supporting. It has profoundly changed me. I've always had strict vegetarian leanings for health and environmental reasons and while I've many times had people express emotional, spiritual, concern for animals to me as reasons to eat this way it never really *hit* me until I watched this.

We are all earthlings after all.

Only Me?

I just noticed I'm the only person to list Good Night, Baby Bear as a favorite book... this just can't be! I'm going to go as far as to say this is a MUST READ for all parents -it's what mothering is all about.... and to find out what fathering is all about see Danny, Champion of the World.
