The things we have that are breakable we mostly got before we had kids (I think the last of these went on Sunday), or as gifts, or we got a bunch of insanely cheap glass balls from Target that I expect some lossage on. At this point, if nobody gets cut we're fine.
I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

We used to have some groovy 60's ornaments, and we only have one left. Occasionally I search for them on ebay. I found one of them once, but it was going for too much money.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Parliament has been prorogued
Is that a word in Canada? Because I've never heard it!

BTW, if anyone ever come across any of those 1970's-80's satin ornaments in orange, buy them for me and I will totally reimburse you. I have a green tinsel tree crying out for more orange.

It's a weird and wonderful word! It's one of those old-school parliamentary terms; it means to suspend a legislative session.
I was just posting my admiration of it on Twitter.

I think we stole it from the British.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
With no Parliament, does that mean that the Governor General (and the Queen) rule by decree?

Huh. I got that's what was happening, but the word was new to me!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah. The last vestiges of the old Republic have been swept away. Although without the bureaucracy, some have questioned how the provinces will be kept in line, but I hear the Governor General plans to use fear.
