This is a short story I wrote for a fun writing contest on the Lackadaisy forum.  The theme was 'Winter', but since the deadline isn't until the end of January, which is when they'll be posted, I decided to post it here.  Because I love it so much and I can't wait to share it!  So here it is... "Winter's Plea" The stage was empty and quiet, yet warm and inviting with its mahogany wood

Sometimes I think about the things people use to describe me.  And I think of how many different groups of friends (online and off) that only know little bits about me.  And some things that hardly anybody knows.  So what are some things that I believe define me?  Here are some of the things that go into the whole crazy package you see as me:I am curious.  About everything.  There are lots of

Ok, so my last two serious blog posts have been pretty rant-filled, and after laughing my head off reading Baby Rabies' blog, I remember some of the fun I wanted to have actually writing this blog, even if most people don't read it.  So, I will now recount to you what I pretty much live for every day I go to work. Besides the children.  That's just a given.  This is bonus. I love to mess with

It's not all of my parents that frustrate me and get me angry.  It's not all of them that I want to shake.  It's the few.  The few that make you forget all the rest of the wonderful parents who are a pleasure to work with.  Since everyone seems a little list-happy recently, I have compiled my own list.  This is from my own experience, but you may see similarities to other lists, because these

I started writing this post about 2 days ago during rest period, when the power decided to go out.  Fun fun.  We ended up calling parents and sending the kids home early (those who stay for the after school care), because it was raining off/on so we couldn't stay outside, and it was too hot/dark inside.  Of course, the poor head teacher was stuck calling parents on her cell b/c we couldn't use

Ok, let's get this thing restarted.  The main reason is because I really started getting more involved in Twitter, following Montessori teachers & moms and I really want to share my ideas better.  I've been thinking about a lot of stuff to the point that it's starting to bug me, not really having anywhere to share it.  So this'll be probably more school & child focused than roleplay, but that'll

Well, I haven't really had much to talk about, but today, I feel inspired!  Inspired to create a new Lackadaisy char!  So, I figured I'd document, for those who are thinking of getting into the world of roleplaying, or even just writing, how I go about creating a character. First: The inspiration and the basics. 1920s-based char of course, for the Lackadaisy world.  Always need to be mindful

The Chinese New Year is coming up, and since the theme this term at school is "It's A Great Big World", looking at all the things in the world around us.  This month my class has been looking at countries and cultures, so I decided we could do some crafts and activities to celebrate the start of the Lunar New Year.  I contacted the mother of a Chinese student who graduated last year, and she

I found this one youtube on Twitter, from Adam Savage (of Mythbusters' fame.  Follow him at 'donttrythis').  It got me searching some other road safety commercials, and here are some of the favourite ones, starting with the one that started it all. This last one is a compilation of different commercials put to music. Longer, but very touching. My favourite.

So I had to rewrite a character's profile, mainly because I lost the website where I'd stashed his first one.  This is always unfortunate because I'm never as motivated the second time around.  Fortunately, I remembered most of his information, except for his exact history, which I have to work on again.  I figured I'd post it here so you all can see what I put into my characters.  Maybe later

The tricky thing about Steampunk design is if you want a more historically accurate type of ladies' wear, what do you choose?  The world of Steampunk is a mix between Late Victorian/Edwardian, and women's fashion fluctuates largely within this timeframe, as in most eras.  Well, let's start from the top... Hats- Fortunately, hats during these two eras are fairly similar: elaborate, wide brimmed,

Second day home, recovering from a horrendous cough left over from the worst cold I've had in years.  I'm so over being sick.  I wanna be back with my children.  I never thought I'd be saying I can't wait to go back to work, but I'd rather be at work than home sick with this cough. Anyway, I know you all love a juicy confession, so here it is. I'm a furry. Yes, it's true, and now you finally

Having some trouble sleeping, so I thought I'd post a little more Steampunk.  This time we're talking transportation.  The transportation that defines Steampunk fantasy: airships. Now, you may ask, "But airships are real.  What do they have to do with this fantasy genre?" Yes, airships, zeppelins, blimps, hot air balloons, they shaped our history in a big way.  They're sleek, pretty and massive

In order to further validate the existence of this thing, I thought I should let you all in on my love for Steampunk.  I don't want this to be a Steampunk blog, so all such posts will be titled "Steampunk Chronicles".  I don't know how far this little obsession will eventually go, but I thought I'd start out with a couple things I dream of having. First, GOGGLES! Goggles available at

I've heard that when doctors ask little children to describe 'hurt', they ask them to tell them what color the pain feels like.  So I think, all emotions have a color.  But what colour?  Can a color be for more than one emotion?  Sure.  Yellow can be fear (like 'yellow-bellied') or happiness (like sunshine).  Then I realised: emotions are about SHADES of colour! Genius, I know, but it's harder
