The one and only thing I made for LG’s costume this year:
This is the beginnings of the E-bling that she will wear to help distinguish her as not just any old witch, but The Wicked Witch of the East (or Elvis the Witch, witchever).
We were going to try to rig up the fallen house, but [...]

Jif and LG went here, this past weekend. I wish I had been well enough to do that with them. I would say I’ll do it next year, but not if it falls on the same weekend as this, because next year, I am so there. Anyone wanna join me?
I also want [...]

“Spears arrived at the courthouse eating cheese puffs in her white Mercedes-Benz convertible.”
Sorry. I just read that on a “news” site and really felt compelled to share it with someone.

We learned this week that not only are none [...]

UPDATE, 10/18 p.m. Thank you all for your kindness, your love, prayers, and healing thoughts. Nana is doing better today. Some right hand weakness and some speech trouble, but as these things go, we can’t complain. There’s every reason to think she’ll continue improving. Off to pick up Jif and [...]
