For some reason, Ted thought this comic was very very very very funny. :) We had a fantastic Christmas here in IRELAND. Ahahhah! Ireland! Christmas! In Ireland! Ahahah! *ahem* :) We all went out to Deirdre and Gavin’s and exchanged an enormous number of gifts. The two real highlights were the toy castle, complete with dragons and knights and orcs and wizards and horses and trebuchets and murder holes and elves and dwarves and portcullises and other good things that Breic got from Uncle Shaun, who was so excited when…

*laughs and laughs* It’s a very Ursula Christmas for me this year. Over the last 6 months or so, Ursula’s done several sketches that I just Had To Have: the dragglerabbit, the Arctic party, and the dwarven baker. I had to have the dragglerabbit because he looked just like I feel on a bad writing day, the Arctic party was obviously meant for me, and the story of why I had to have the dwarven baker is here. I waited until I was in Ireland to have her ship them,…

After a few moments, though, I remembered about the bath. :) Anyway, isn’t he wonderful? *beam* Best husband ever. So…

(written 12.18.05) Well, Breic’s birthday party went very well. :) I went out to Blackrock on Saturday morning to make a wemon cake, which was Breic’s request for his birthday cake, and he was sufficiently excited about the prospect that he didn’t want to go with his daddy to turn the movies back in or to play in the park. He just wanted to help Aunt Catie! We kind of compromised on him helping me make the frosting, and he went off with Gavin. He also went down for his…

I’m somewhat less together with this posting than I’d like to be. That’s the disadvantage of no net; by the time I get to a computer I’m no longer sure what I wanted to say. I’ve been working on my ‘things that are different’ observations, but the only one that’s sticking with me now is that the not-as-sweet apple juice is vastly preferable, IMHO. I finished HoS yesterday, so took the rest of the day off and went for a walk with the boys. We got rained on, but not…
