    Back in the Yuletide/Christmas mood!
    After that depressing last video ("Hard Times Come Again No More"), here is another nice Christmas/holiday video--it's a Unitarian Universalist mashup because it's a Christmas lullaby/carol with a nice Pagan Yule log in the background! Happy Yule! :-)

    • 06:54:02: @JaneBunny Eep. Well, I guess you'd better start preparing yourself mentally for back surgery then. :-/
    • 06:55:48: @webcruzr21 I'm glad you enjoyed the wassail video. :-) And the fiber optic tree is so much prettier than my camera can capture!
    • 08:09:35: B. still asleep, all is quiet. Turned on Xmas tree, looked at lights, and softly serenaded the tree w/my ukulele. #fb

    A "warning" (heh)
    I just posted this over on Facebook:

    In case you missed it earlier in my other videos (those of you who are watching ::grin::), I sing songs whether they are part of my belief system or not, if I like them. So there may be one or two Christmas songs coming up that might throw you for a loop. Don't worry: I'm still a pagan-y Unitarian Universalist. My niece calls this approach the All-You-Can-Believe Buffet. Yeah! :-)

    • 16:26:56: Sorry I've been away! Chuzzle has come to the iPod Touch, and I'm a total addict! Also Ice Age app. that stars Scrat. Heh.
    • 16:29:28: Also: did a music video with our Xmas tree, but YouTube messed up the sound--clear in original! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fgoSsI6hJ8
    • 16:31:49: @webcruzr21 Eep, I certainly didn't mean to smirk. That sounds kinda...ick. :-/
    • 16:33:43: @FutureNostalgic Geez, I play Chuzzle on the PC for HOURS at a time! Then I learned it's on the iPhone/iPod Touch! Bought it immediately!
    • 18:44:28: @webcruzr21 Ah, okay. I just have a different idea of what a "smirk" is: "affected, smug, or offensively self-satisfied smile". :-P

    A Christmas music video featuring...
    our new fiber optic tree! It looks better (and larger) if you watch it directly on YouTube. Also there is more explanation there on YouTube in the sidebar.

    Argh.
    I am not good around sick people. I avoid going to hospitals as much as possible.

    Cat'r is having outpatient surgery next Wednesday, but with general anesthesia. They want him to be with someone (not alone in his own apartment) at least one day, so he'll be staying here with us. I'm a terrible wimp about seeing blood, my own or anyone else's. I want to be strong for him, but I'm afraid I'm gonna be a wimpy useless so-and-so.

    Bunnicula said he'll take care of everything. This *should* make me feel better. I'll have to figure out how I'm going to handle this before the "event" because I either try to micromanage or else am totally useless. I need to figure out how to be the most helpful, i.e. stay out of the way.

    Okay, back to stuff I have to get done today: breakfast, laundry, grocery list, etc.

    • 07:22:18: @PearTreePens Oh, okay! Well then I would like to test ink, then. :-)
    • 07:36:30: Cordless phone recommendations? Only need one handset, no answering machine. Ours (Vtech) is dead . Thanks!
    • 07:58:05: @raaven AC:CF--if you get, be prepared to put down & stick to trails. Grass/snow disappears easily, town looks like a desert. #fail
    • 08:34:09: @adiehall Thanks--looking at various reviews and prices. Don't need so many handsets--eep!
    • 09:44:56: @rdominick "Today I wear the red badge of forgetfulness." -- Ehh? I hate to ask what you forgot. :-P Oh no, not your ID badge?!
    • 11:11:07: RT @arjadi: This wind absolutely will not quit tonight. It's unnerving. // That's how we felt yesterday AND with power outage.
    • 11:22:45: @adiehall Thanks for rec.! Ordered a Panasonic from amazon.com--should have in a couple days! Yay!
    • 11:30:40: @adiehall Had good reviews, mostly 5 stars! :-)
    • 18:22:32: @webcruzr21 http://twitpic.com/sxqir - That is GORGEOUS!
    • 18:37:31: @tamalady http://twitpic.com/syi5n - They're *both* so beautiful!
    • 18:40:23: RT @rdominick: I think my face might freeze right off. // Eep, it was that cold out?!
    • 19:47:40: @irvingjohn Is there something wrong with having a big vocabulary?
    • 19:50:48: @irvingjohn: The word "convaluded" is spelled convoluted.
    • 19:54:55: @webcruzr21 Thank you re. video. He said he liked it. :-)

    I won! and I've got Mono!
    Heh. Well, I haven't got Mono yet, but I will! I won AdelleTheGreat's Kiss Me contest! and the first prize is a cute little plush mononucleosis virus! LOL! Here is my entry that won.

    And earlier this week I won Brick's Beginners Contest! All the winners got a $10 gift card or $10 cash or $10 donation to the charity of their choice or whatever! Here was my entry for that:



    [ETA: I can't get Mono. He's been around cats for years. I am totally terribly allergic to cats. Adelle and I are gonna figure out something else, so Mono will go to the second-place winner, which is fine with me]



    Current Mood: amazed!

    • 00:37:10: @indigonightbird Oh cool, I'm so glad you'll be able to get that Diamine ink!
    • 00:44:27: @avflox Cool pens, lovely ink! I think the pen that would do it for me would be a Nakaya Maki-e!
    • 03:38:48: @bizarra You need a heavy sweater for work and some colourful wrist warmers/fingerless gloves.
    • 11:00:02: Almost finished charging EVERYthing. Starting to get strong winds (High Wind Warning for today & tonight). Hope we don't lose power! #fb
    • 11:01:13: @rdominick I don't think I know the lyrics to "I Wear Your Ring"? Who is it by?
    • 11:02:04: Dark ominous clouds. B. went to the post office. Hope he's back soon. Temp around 50*F. now, going to fall all day & night! #fb
    • 11:36:34: @JaneBunny Maybe your immune system isn't getting a chance to regroup after each cold?
    • 12:20:15: @PearTreePens I would *love* to try a new ink, but I'm not as experienced as many who understand flow and shading and such.
    • 12:42:13: @JaneBunny: "I swear I'm sick more often when Uni is in session." Probably true--around a lot of germy college students. :-P
    • 12:45:31: RT @rdominick: @ctrymaus Hey! I was listening 2 "I Wear Your Ring"! As close as I can guess 2 the lyrics :) //Ooh. Liz. That xplains it. :-D
    • 12:49:56: @pendemonium http://twitpic.com/ssut2 - Glad she's safe. :-)
    • 12:52:00: @MaryMG Cute kids, pretty tree! :-)
    • 12:55:15: @Encourage1Anoth http://twitpic.com/smvil - Beautiful! Crocheted?

    • 13:12:41: Power just went off. Nuts. #fb
    • 13:27:16: Power went off 12:11pm. Duke Energy gives est. time of power back on 3 something (forget exact time she gave me). #fb
    • 18:25:56: Power was out for about 4 hours.Had to throw away some dairy products from the frig, but otherwise stuff was okay. We stayed warm enuf. #fb

    • 06:56:46: @DnSsnvr Ah, ok (re: Dexter & Bailey). Can you tell I'm way behind on reading tweets?!
    • 06:59:37: @KenyB You don't come across as "hating people"...must be an exaggeration. :-P
    • 07:03:26: @webcruzr21 I haven't been playing games either since I started playing ukulele! Except for Chuzzle on PC. Is that XL DSi?
    • 07:15:28: RT @Aldrine: NEW VIDEO UP! "The Christmas song (Chestnuts roasting)" http://bit.ly/54DW09 // Just so beautiful!!
    • 07:43:46: @JaneBunny I *love* that hat!
    • 08:05:48: @SnappyTouch I just got update of Flower Garden--even better, if that's possible!! Love extra garden space & fertilizer! Xmas flower seeds?
    • 08:09:22: @SnappyTouch I d/l'd Flower Garden update on my iPod Touch. It's working fine! What do you think is broken?
    • 08:27:45: @SnappyTouch How often can you safely use fertilizer on one particular plant? Once a day? Or once only?
    • 08:55:46: Woohoo! Just a dusting, but still: first snow of the season!! Yay! #fb
    • 08:56:55: @adrianchall I like your new avatar! :-)
    • 12:46:14: RT @earthrowan: -43c windchill?? Really?? Wow, that's so not right, not right at all . . . // Eeeeeek!
    • 12:52:46: @webcruzr21 I haven't been using my DSi at all; I use my iPod Touch ALL the time!
    • 12:56:21: @KenyB How much snow did you-all get?
    • 13:02:12: @arjadi You can't renew library books there?
    • 18:46:12: Woohoo! Just ordered Andrea Bocelli's and Sting's Christmas CDs! I'll have them on Wednesday! (yay Amazon Prime!) :-)
    • 19:01:53: @SnappyTouch Oh, I guess I did notice it was a large white tag. Not terrible, though. :-)
    • 19:04:02: @SnappyTouch Does the fertilizer actually do more if you use it more often? If you'd need a slow-grower for a bouquet more quickly, say.
    • 19:26:40: @stephenfry I'm seeing your tweets on Echofon just fine. :-)
    • 22:06:58: @JTShea I am confused...what did you say and what did I say? Mice get confused easily. :-P
    • 22:08:34: @KenyB We got a dusting too this a.m.. Unless things change drastically, we'll get a lot of rain out of the storm you'll get snow from.
    • 22:09:49: @indigonightbird What craftiness are you up to? Or is it Christmas secrets? :-)
