Happy Chrisaversary!

At first, it was a birthday present. Then, through our mutual apathy it became a Christmas gift, and now, because these things always take a little longer that you think, it is an anniversary gift.

Nearly three years after the fact, my husband gave me a wedding band.

It's lovely. It looks kind of like this (the inspiration) but was made by these people so I won't go completely to hell (just my toes?) for my consumerist tendencies.

This pretty much insures that I won't get any work done all day. I'll just keep looking at my ring. (Straight to hell, what can I say?)

More Change Needed

Did they really just play "Lord of the Dance" at the Inauguration? Really? Had I been a McCain supporter, I would have taken this as evidence of my vindication.

As an Obama supporter I merely thought, "He needed a better liturgist on his transition team."

Favorite line from the speech: "For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness."

And just in case you found the inauguration speech a little lackluster, or think you could write a better one yourself, give this Obama Inauguration Speech Generator a try.

Dude, and the preacher who gave the final benediction- how sweet was he? I think I could listen to that man all day.

Famous Friends!

Well, hello! Long time no see.

You see, I was stranded in the wild snowed-in landscapes of Idaho, without a wireless Internet connection. I nearly froze to death.  And before that was running around in a mad attempt to get everything done two weeks early. And before that...I was in jail. In Antarctica. It was a tough month. 

Okay, enough with the excuses. I'm not going to go as far as to say that I've made a new years resolution to post more...I'm just going to try harder. 

As it turns out, the December break from the Parish where I used to work turned out to be a break from all things churchy, and a needed break it was. I'm feeling much better now and able to resume my on-line life. 

Because the best way to jump back in is with video, here is a very cool news video about godchild #2 (and her parents) and their chickens!  (I wish I knew how to embed it, but I'm not that savvy.)

In chickeny news, we're trying to get 2 new chicks in the next few weeks. I'll let you know how that goes.
