I have heard of this circumstance for workers and their families. I wish you well. At least gas has come down 2 whole dollars.

Happy homecoming to us! I need a good strong coffee today; I went to a high school play last night in a town (Brush) that's two hours from home, and got back way after midnight. I didn't know anyone in the play, or the town, or anything. Here's how it happened; my daughter lives in a nearby town, and has been having a bit of a lonely time adjusting to her new home. We spoke on the phone, and she said she was thinking of going to the school play, which was "Little Women". I thought it was great that she was finding something to do out there in the boonies, and besides, I loooove Little Women, so I decided to go see it with her, and Uncle Baggins came too. It was pretty good for a play at a very small high school. The script was straight out the book, so I found myself anticipating the lines (better than the actors sometimes) since I know the book so well. What fun! The sets were great: they had asked the local farming folks to borrow antiques from their houses, and people came up with all kinds of cool furniture and stuff. Tomorrow my daughter and I are planning to participate in the National Day of Protest over California's Proposition 8. These are happening all over the country, in every state, at the same time (11:30 Mountain time for us). If anyone else is interested in participating, here's a link: Join the impact This was a grass-roots effort by two bloggers, and hundreds of thousands of people are expected to participate. I debated whether to post here about it, and decided maybe I could get away with it on Fiesta Friday. So I'll dig out my rainbow-colored stocking cap and join the parade. I just have to decide which town to go to, since there are more than one not too far from my home.

Sil and Alteira. I'll still be around. This family at least is portable. Wish I was moving to Wellington of course but I'm moving closer to Toronto. Rum and cole? Haven't had one of those since the 80's. Maybe that's what's been missing

*flying tackle hug* I'll have you know only an experienced Fiesta barkeep can do a flying tackle hug with an open bottle of Chilean red and two wine glasses in her hands and not spill a drop or crack a glass (no less harm the hugee). Two wine glasses? But of course, I'm joining you, my dear! I hope all is well in the world of invisible cats. You really MUST stick around... we miss you!!!

Novel Writing Month is going well, I guess. I've finally hit a stride in my writing, but I need to write 10,000 words this weekend to get caught up, so I'll be looking for spare hours to write. In the meantime, I'll have a beer, please. The weather is getting colder and my older sis is moving away to Chicago next weekend. She'll be the first member of my immediate family to live more than two hours away. It's going to be an adjustment. Happy Friday, everyone! I've been waiting for this week to end. It sure took it's time.

Sounds like you and little Dora had a fun time at the play. I have to admit, I'd have to look Brush up on a map, but it was nice of you to go there to support your daughter. have a great weekend!

I knew I woke up early today for a reason! And I noticed the member count, too; think we can have some sort of celebration at 3000? Fandom wise this has been a very, very productive week for me. I finished my first LOTR music video which was an absolute blast to create (it's up on the Fan Art board if you are interested), and I definitely plan on making more. I've also been writing fan fiction like mad- it is a never ending flow of ideas nowadays! I love it. As for RL, everyone in this household is sick. I might have something, but it's not fully developed... hopefully it will stay that way. A fire broke out up north and has already burned 100 or so homes :/ It's not near enough to be a cause of worry for myself, but if the winds shift our way I should be able to see the smoke. Cheers! Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

I had a dream with hundreds of large white eggs (almost more than a handful) in nests under trees and on the ground. Though most appeared to be fresh and edible, one hatched when I picked it up. Thoughts?

I'm sorry to hear that. When I was in my twenties, Uncle Baggins and I had to do something like that; though he was able to come home on the weekends. He was working about two hours away from home, and almost killed himself falling asleep at the wheel, and decided he couldn't commute, so he stayed at a dive motel during the week with other construction workers. It was pretty lonely for both of us, and also stressful because when he came home on weekends we had to get used to each other again. As much as you love somebody, that can still be a problem. Anyway, wishing the best for you and your family.
