I have a major case of mixed emotions. December and the accompanying holiday season has been a time of joy and sadness for me since 2001. That year, within a two week span, I lost my maternal grandmother and my father. Some years it hits me hard, and it's a struggle to maintain a cheerful... Continue Reading →
In about seven months, I'll hit the half century mark of my time on this planet. And yes, I most definitely still believe in Santa Claus. Santa and I have been buds for a long time. Just before I hit the years ending in "teen," I realized there was a great deal of similarity between... Continue Reading →
Now that I'm feeling better, I'm making a concerted effort to take care of those projects I've been meaning to get around to. One of those projects is to turn the four or five plastic storage boxes of family photos into an online collection. To that end, hubby set me up with an external hard... Continue Reading →
My grand plan to create a unique spider ornament this year was dashed by a houseful of sick people. Thankfully, it could have been much worse, and at the moment, I'm the only one still hit fairly hard - the eldest is a bit better, and everyone else is well (fingers crossed they stay that...

This brief Misery Monday blurb brought to you by DayQuil, Kleenex, Tums, Ritz Crackers, and Halls cough drops (gee, maybe I should get one of them to sponsor my blog). If you hadn't guessed, Santa brought germs as an extra early gift for our household. Still, it could be much worse, so my whiny blog... Continue Reading →
For this installment of Fandom Friday, I decided to dig deep in the archives of my former blog, and you'll never guess (you being any fellow RvBers peeking in) what I found! A fangirl post about Jesse Cowell! I'd almost forgotten the phenomenon that was Jeskid, but I'm happy to say he's still hanging around... Continue Reading →
Even though the kidlets are past their toddler years, I still enjoy following The Pooka Pages for Pagan Kids. A day or so ago, I saw the following spider story posted on their Facebook page - I really liked the concept, and decided to research it a bit more. Turns out the origins are a... Continue Reading →
Hubby & I left the house this afternoon at 4pm, heading to the store to pick up a few things (none of which were holiday related). We got home around 10pm. I swear we got sucked into a time vortex that somehow turned a half hour into six. The end result (besides the wallet damage)... Continue Reading →
To the one I love. Okay, technically, I have had many loves. In fact, too many to count. To be honest, I don't even know if I could remember all their names at the moment, there have been so many. But there was that one, in the beginning (not my first but definitely my most... Continue Reading →
No, not in the Wicked Witch kind of way, regardless of the WW in my post title (in this case, it means Witchy Wednesday). I'm talking about neglecting Sabbats and Esbats, forgetting full moons and new moons, and disregarding deities and demigods in my everyday life. I wasn't always such a bad witch. In fact,...

November was a tremendous learning experience for me. I was able to complete both National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) and National Blog Posting Month (NaBloPoMo), and when it was done, I still felt the urge to sit at the keyboard and peck away (unlike past years, when I felt creatively burnt out well into the...

Happy Turkey Birthday, Mom! Our Nor'easter delayed Thanksgiving feast is close to being done, and the house smells amazing. Today also happens to be my mother's birthday - we brought her up from Massachusetts this past Tuesday for a combined Thanksgiving and birthday visit, never imagining both celebrations would end up being the same day....
