I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Happy birthday, Aeryn! You look adorable toddling about in the snow in your snowsuit.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Happy birthday, Aeryn!

I need to get myself out the door to put gas in the car and get enough groceries to get through the week. I may make that roasted broccoli soup tomorrow. I have some squash soup in the freezer. What are some other favorite hearty winter soups?

We got a few inches of snow last night. So glad I don't have to leave the house until tomorrow.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I keep forgetting I have squash I need to cook and eat. But first, broccoli soup. And chicken soup. How do I have so much cooking to do?

Happy Aeryn Day!

Hey, has anyone touched base with ita! lately? I'd like to be reassured she's doing okay...

Judging by ita's Flickr feed, she just recently got back from Jamaica.
