My kid is so awesome.  Should you care to hear about her recent exploits, keep reading this paragraph.  If not, if the thought of reading about someone else's child gets on your nerves...skip it, and read the next one!
SO!  We discovered this book,at our local public library, and read it almost every day that we had it, before returning it.  The last page bids the reader "Tell me about YOUR dragon", to which Sofi immediately answered "My dragon is invisible.  And tiny.  And it's pink and blue, and rainbow.  And it sleeps in my closet, with one eye open, in case any monsters try to get me."  It developed, over a few nights, into 2 dragons, one pink and one blue(her favorite colors), who she would whip out, in her little cupped hands, and chat with, at random times, even when the book wasn't around.  SO!  Last Thursday, she spent the night at my parents' house, and at noon the next day set off for Daddy time, as per our parenting plan.  I didn't get a chance to chat with my parents about what transpired during her visit...until after she got back.  Sunday night, when we picked her up, I asked her if she'd told her dad about her dragons.  "No.  I don't have them anymore."  Why not?  "PJ squashed them."  My 22 year old brother sat on her imaginary(sorry! invisible) dragons, and wiped them on his jeans.  I had a phone conversation with him about it, and he was highly amused that she adhered to their imaginary demise so tightly.  What's more, the next time we read the book, her answer to the last page?  "My dragons are squashed."  :( right?  Well, with a little giggling in between...  So here's my solution: last night, while my husband and I watched a movie, and last night's Glee(on Hulu), I made 2 tiny clay dragons.  One pink, one blue.  They weren't baked, yet, this morning when I showed them to her, but she was still SOO thrilled.  I immediately posed and baked them, of course.

NOW onto non-child related subjects:
 I made Puck a dig box, last night, because I discovered the lovely shredded carpet in the corner of my bedroom door frame, yesterday.  He really likes it!  I read all about different ways to make them, a week or so ago, and decided we are more likely to eat the rice we have, than the whole wheat rotini pasta my dad's cousin gave us 2 huge bags of, on Easter.  (please don't judge me for wasting food I wasn't going to eat anyway.  We are broke this week, and we weren't going to spend $3-5 on a big bag of rice for a ferret to play in.)
I have GOT to drag my butt back over to Walmart(across the street behind my building), because I have 2 things I'm supposed to be mailing out to friends!!!  (the way that makes sense is: we don't have an 'out' mailbox in our apartment complex) *iz lazy*
~random ADD moment(is there any other kind?): I've got Jimmy Fallon on with the sound off, and I just realized what unnerves me about the actress Maggie Q, who stars on the crap-remake of La Femme Nikita.  She looks like a young, Asian Jane Seymour.  *to me*  It's the mouth and chin.  ANYWAYS.

!!!!MOTHER'S DAY IS IN 4 DAYS!!!!  *dies*  Not sure what's going to happen.  Hubby has to go to work at like, 1 or 2 p.m., and doesn't even get paid till that day, so he, Sofi and I are celebrating me on Monday.  Sofi and I picked up a bare wooden butterfly wall-hangy-thingie at Dollar Tree, yesterday, and painted it this morning.  She goes to church with my dad, Wednesday nights, and my niece is visiting them, too, so they're having a slumber party tonight.  She couldn't wait till Sunday to bring Grammy her pretty butterfly, so she got it tonight XD   Whoops I accidentally lied!  I talked about my kid again.
......
I have a love/hate relationship with Netflix.  I have wolfed down whole series of shows I hadn't seen before, and always wanted to...and then it's all gone and I miss the characters/'verse.  BUT I am friends with Netflix again, because yesterday, they changed what they had of SyFy/BBC's Merlin series from only the first season to seasons 1 and 2. :D  I think I'll watch a little, right now!  Sadly, I finished Pushing Daisies AND The Dresden Files(both tragically canceled).  But I now have more things to be inspired by, in my nerdy crafting!

That's all I can think of to talk about, for now, so TTFN!

Such a geek am I

I remembered that we recently discovered the 3rd season of True Blood on demand, and I hadn't seen it yet(I know, scandal), so guess how late I stayed up???  I have 5 more episodes, and believe me, it was hard to make myself turn the tv off before I could just finish it out and watch the sun come up!  I am loving the story, even though they have ripped it all apart compared to the books, but they have to make it intense and intriguing...so whatevs.  It irritates me that instead of Weres AND shifters, there's just Weres involved in the situation in Jackson, and I also was kinda looking forward to the scene when Alcide helped Sookie unzip the fancy red dress she'd worn to Club Dead(since it was a much more fancy place to go), and they made out for a minute or so...but alas.  At least it's not like those blasphemous Harry Potter films.  I refuse to watch the Deathly Hallows pair.  I'm very happy with the way it was in the book, thank you very much, and I'd rather just remember it that way.  :P

In other news, I'm reading the heck out of Cassandra Clare's "Mortal Instruments" books, because they are awesome.  AND my husband texted me this morning and informed me that the newest House of Night book is out, and I had no idea!!!  BUT I've promised my brother I'll finish the most recent 2 Wheel of Time books(which will take forEVER) before I read anything else.

SO.  Last night...and early morning...I made things, while I watched mah show.  Not gonna show you what, though...cuz some of it is a secret!!  :P
This blogging thing isn't that hard...I used to keep a blog on Myspace, and I was fairly regular about posting. 
Oh, and I've had a special request for this post.  I got a pair of Glee knee socks for Christmas, from the fabulous Lizzy, my best friend in the whole world.  Because she and her husband are 2 of the few people I know IRL that understand my LOVE for that ridiculous, campy, musical show.  Also she gave me a Glee bracelet!!  And, there is a picture...

 And one of the girls, the other night, in the tent.  I'd forgotten I took it.

Heehee, picspam. 
I hope writing every day will get me back into writing shape.  I have always wanted to write a novel, and I need the practice.  My mom has always shoved that "write what you know" crap down my throat(LOL) and all I've ever wanted to write about is werewolves.  How does that work?  I have such bad ADD that I can't ever finish a story, though.  I need to get back to one I started a bit back.  It's a takeoff on Beauty and the Beast, but the beast is a...surprise! Werewolf.  The girl is a school teacher, and the guy is a book shop owner.  They're both adorably shy and nerdy.  I <3 it.  Which is why I need to get back on the writing of it!!!  I used to tag team write, with a friend, when we were in middle school, and that was my favorite time in my life, when it came to writing.  I really want to find another writing buddy, so we can write the story together(similarly to the way Good Omens was written).  It gets finished, that way, since one person can rest while the other writes a section.  AAaanyway.  I need a shower, and food, and to watch 5 more hours of True Blood...and I'm going shopping with my Rachel today.  So, this is me signing off.  Laterzz!
