Sweet Dreams II

My little sister (age 9) recently had a dream that she went to heaven. So my mom asked, "What did God look like?" Without missing a beat, she replied "He had white pyjamas with red spots all over them, bunny slippers, and spiked hair."

Of course he did.

Compost Craze

I keep hearing little peeps from friends and family who are saying things like "Hmm, I really don't see that grapefruit peel in the trash the same way anymore. I keep thinking that it would make excellent worm food. How many worms did you say you have? Do they multiply? Does it stink? How do you harvest it?"

Oh I encourage you! The worm bin makes you feel super wholesome... and if you want to feel a little less wholesome, think about it this way: worms are hermaphrodites and therefore have both sex organs -- they can do anyone! And from the looks of the baby worms we have, I think they do!

I'll find and post some more practical tips soon. I'm just happy that it's catching on without any direct attempts to convert people.

Sweet Dreams

When getting ready for bed one night (with my 8-year-old sister), I turned on the ceiling fan. I immediately had second thoughts, which I expressed to her, since the fan was so loud (not to mention energy inefficient).

She assured my everything would be all right by suggesting "Just think of it as a lullaby. woo--ooo--wooo--ooo--woo"

Letter to Mommy

Dear Patti and Lori,

I know you don't believe in me.

Signed,
Santa


[I found this note written in my 8-year-old sister's (impeccable) handwriting]

Diamante on a Tesselation

H2O

Snow
White, Fluffy
Falling, Drifting, Melting
Playing in it Rocks.
Flowing, Dripping, Splashing
Wet, Liquid
