HAPPY PAY DAY TO ME!

Since tomorrow is Halloween, Roommie and I got our monthly cheques today. YAHOO!!!! Already spent fifteen dollars for cat food, and another fifty three dollars at Wal-Mart, but not bad. Mum was nice enough to give us a lift to Wal-Mart, so we bought her some chocolate covered pretzels, a pumpkin... Sign in to see full entry.

WAAAHHH! I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO PLAY WITH MY NEW TOY!

As some of you know, I'm slowly trying to teach myself how to crochet. (I'm now trying to teach myself to knit as well). Well, the lessons are going slowly, but I'm getting the hang of it, I think. Online last week, I found something called a crochet loom. When I read the description, it said that... Sign in to see full entry.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ROOMMIE!

Today is Roommie's birthday. I won't say how old she is 'cause it just isn't nice. I gave her one of her gifts a couple of days early because she needed some cheering up. I gave her kind of a silly gift this morning, and I'm gonna give her her last gift in just a few minutes. A friend of ours baked... Sign in to see full entry.

THANK YOU, GRANDMUMMY KABU!

Last night, our dear lady and my wonderful Aussie Grandmummy Kabu, (I may not be Aussie by race or blood Grandmummy...but my heart is pure Aussie!) sent me a lovely photograph of a beautiful little girl whom she believes might represent my little Isabella. I believe that too, Grandmummy...but I must... Sign in to see full entry.

VISIONS OF ISABELLA

I've had some visions of Isabella, the little girl from my upcoming story THERE'S A BABY IN OUR STABLE! pretty much since the story came into my head. Last night, though, I saw her so clearly. She's a plump but happy eight-year-old girl with long, curly black hair and deep brown eyes. Lovely olive... Sign in to see full entry.

FREEZING COLD...CONNECTION TROUBLES...UGH!

Hi everyone... I meant to write much earlier today, but haven't been able until now. Our internet conncetion has been cut off since last night, and we've only just had it back since a little over an hour ago. It is COLD outside here tonight! I think I'll just crawl under the covers 'til springtime!... Sign in to see full entry.

A MESSAGE FOR MY GRANDMUMMY KABU

I've decided that today I'm going to start working on THERE'S A BABY IN OUR STABLE! My only sadness is that I'm not able to add my own artwork to the story yet. I'll post it here when I'm satisfied with the first draft. I have a special favour to ask of you and our Wiley one, Grandmummy...Please,... Sign in to see full entry.

I'LL NEVER GROW UP!

I can't believe I found it!! I'm so excited!!... Now, before y'all started wondering what I'm ock n about, let me explain. It's okay if you end up laughing yourselves silly at me...I'm long used to it by now, so I honestly don't mind! I know it's a bit early for most of you to start talking about...

A WONDERFUL WAY TO GIVE THANKS

Do any of you here donate food to your local food pantries or soup kitchens or post offices during the Thanksgiving or Christmas holidays? Every year, our post office here in town sends out little cards asking people to donate non-perishable items which they will collect on a specific day. This... Sign in to see full entry.

THAT TIME OF THE YEAR AGAIN

As a rule, Roommie and I try really hard not to turn the computer on on Sundays. That's the one day of the week we don't mind taking phone calls, but prefer not to be bombarded by the online world. Towards the end of Every October or early November though, we're forced to make an exception. This is... Sign in to see full entry.

AT LAST, MY REVIEW OF WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE

At last, as I promised, here is my review of WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE. Tippy Z, I hope you find this! As near as I can figure, it's very difficult to follow the intended meaning of this film unless you know how to pay close attention and seek out what's meant to be found. The puppetry is wonderful,... Sign in to see full entry.

GOING OUT FOR A BIT

Tonight, Mum, Grammy, Roommie and I are all going to Wal-Mart. Roommie needs to return (again!!) a Halloween costume we bought for her nephew. Grammy needs to buy a pair of size 9 knitting needles. Me? I'm going to buy some acrylic paints for some unfinshed ceramic pieces and maybe some more yarn. I... Sign in to see full entry.

I CAN'T THINK OF A TITLE FOR THIS ONE

Its been a miserable week. If there's a catastrophe to be had, we've had it. To top everything off, I now have to deliver the sad news of L's death (I posted about that here a few days ago) to my friend S. I was hoping she'd call. She's not able to, so I'll have to email her.

A NOTE FOR A NEW BLOGGER...HOPE I DON'T SOUND UNKIND!

A few days ago, I received a very nice comment from one of our newest bloggers, TippyZ. She said she was looking forward to my review of WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE, and asked me to post it to the blogit cafe so she'd be sure to see it. Ummm...sorry gang, but due to my limited time and energy that I'm... Sign in to see full entry.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MUM!

Today is my mum's birthday. She has to work today, but my Grandmum is here visiting, and took mum for an early birthday dinner yesterday. Glad they had fun! I have birthday presents for her, but unfortunately they didn't arrive on time so I'll give them to her when I get them. Hope she has a great... Sign in to see full entry.

ANGRY...FURIOUS...A NEAR TRAGEDY

Please pray for my oldest niece Jessica and her family. Last night, their trailer caught fire. Thankfully, everyone escaped unharmed, but they now need to find a new place to live. Here is the source of my furiousness. The fire was accidentally started by Cameron, who is only six years old. He laid... Sign in to see full entry.

THE KINDNESS OF A STRANGER

So we went to the movie yesterday and had a really good time. But afterward, when we were walking to the resturant-we took the kids and mum for dinner and some ice cream-I ended up having some real problems and as a result, I was in pain all night last night. Yesterday was the very first time I've... Sign in to see full entry.

GOING WILD

Today I FINALLY get to get out of the house!!!! Roommie's sister, niece and nephew spent the night last evening, and today we're all going to see WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE! I've been anxiously awaiting this film since I saw the previews a few weeks ago. I can still hear my friend Mert's voice as she... Sign in to see full entry.

A NEW PROJECT

I've decided that today is the day. Or at least, I hope it will be. For some time now, I've had an idea for a children's Christmas story which I hope to call "THERE'S A BABY IN OUR STABLE!" The story is about a little girl named Isabella, who is lame. One night, Isabella and her family are surprised... Sign in to see full entry.
