Sometimes, full moons feel different. Certain ones bring on changes...... But you might not understand. |

matthew - I do not see a butterfly either way, but then, I don't see a lot of things. : ) |

sheftali, I don't know about your neck of the woods but when we get a halo around the moon here it usually means it's ridculously cold. As I understand it the halo is the moon's light shining through ice crystals in he air. It's terribly beautiful but makes you want to rush inside and sit in front of a fireplace with a Hot Toddy. |

Here's another one for the cat lovers around here. This always gives me a chuckle, the same artist does a number of different ones and every one of them reminds me of at least one cat I've known. |

Dragon - loved that one too, funny! When Baldur was off being a pirate, thought I posted that same one only with a different title. Could be I only thought about it! ; ) |

Baldur spent today in the garden. 66 degrees is not bad for Primrose in December. |

Especially the little ones. My brother, he's two, whenever he sits on Santa's (sherrif's) lap, his face gets red and water spills over the eyelid. He does, however, like Mrs. Claus (sherrif's wife). She gives him cookies and soda pop in a baggie. The only reason I'm in the picture is to hold Jackson's hand. It never really helps. I'm telling my step mom I'm too old next time....... |

Sheftali apologizes for not responding in a timely manner to comments. Marius, the pooka rabbit was a spur of the moment thing that just turned out quirky. |

Just watch out for the crazies Baldur. I read an online news article today about a man in his forties who dressed up like an elf, went to the mall, stood in line to see Santa and when he got there informed Santa he had dynamite in his bag. The mall was evacuated, the elf was arrested and searched. No dynamite whatsoever was found but they charged him with terrorism or threatening terrorism or something. Hope all your little elves are the pleasant, dynamite free type |

Robin has had a very busy and productive day despite only 3 hours of sleep last night. (only 2 more weeks of night shift...maybe the insomnia will be cured!). Had to go to work for some training on our impending new computer system. Ugh! It's a big deal changing the whole system for a moderately large hospital. But they have known for several years that we were doing this, and kept delaying the "go-live" date. Now it's set to "go-live" in May 2010. Why they have to schedule us for all of these training days during the busiest time of year when it is still MONTHS from starting is beyond me. The other thing that struck me is that when they posted the positions for trainers several months ago, they clearly hired anyone who applied. No consideration for whether or not the individuals had any teaching skills. Unfortunately, my trainer was very disorganized, easily distracted, and went off on unrelated tangents. I have worked with her for years and she is an excellent nurse and a nice person, but teaching is clearly not her forte. Teaching, by the way, is not MY forte either, but I have enough insight to never apply for a job that requires a lot of teaching. I won't even be a preceptor. So, training sucked, but oh well. |

Sorry your training was such a drag, Robin. Bummer. A bad instructor makes any training a trying experience. Not everyone can be a great instructor, even if they're good at their profession. My husband was an outstanding technical instructor in the Air Force, but he went to a school to learn how to be an instructor. I was not an exceptional instructor, except perhaps in limited, one-on-one situations. |

sheftali, I think the price of the snow blad was well worth the assurance of no snow ever again! I would run out right now and buy one if that is all it takes! Growing up in Buffalo, NY, I had my fill of snow for a lifetime! Here in Boise, we get a similar version of weather to what you describe in Virginia, although it is desert here, so much drier. The hot is not as hot and the cold is not as cold when the humidity is low. And we can drive to the snow in the mountains in about half an hour, but don't have to live in it and shovel it for the most part. 2 years ago we had a winter where I had to shovel frequently, and then once, while I was pregnant about 13 years ago, I remember shoveling and cussing because I didn't think a pregnant girl should have to be shoveling several inches of snow! (My honey was out of town, thanks to Murphy's Law.) |

In Red Deer right now we're in the middle of a snow storm. It not a full blown blizzard but there are storm warnings out and the raods are absolutely miserable. We've been fortunate this year not to have had much snow, we usually start getting it in late Oct or early Nov and except for a couple of snowy days it's really held off. So what I'm saying is that I shouldn't be complaining about it but I'm going to anyway. My inner Mexican is crying. |

Robin, the cookie exchange sounds like a lot of fun. What a great idea to make gift batches out of them (that would keep me from eating the entire 7 dozen myself |
