Book shaped furniture!. I've thought about it and I'm pretty sure there isn't anything cooler than this.
We will need to buy a couch in the coming year...;)

cmpriest, you can watch a mama lion and her cubs. I have learned that getting a bath from a lion is not a gentle undertaking. She was washing one of the cubs when I first loaded it and nearly bowled the little thing over several times. I'm "awwwww"ing all over the place.

Very interesting. On the chilly Isle of Thanet in Kent, England, farmers are placing 220 acres of land under glass so they can grow vegetables all year round. The greenhouse, when completed, will house 1.3 million plants and increase the UK's crop of green vegetables by 15%. Called Thanet Earth, the project will be a series of 7 connected grenhouses with a relatively small carbon footprint. And nothing grown inside Thanet Earth will ever touch soil.

I didn't know there was an actual Murphy behind the Law. Though, it does explain why it was called that.

Oh yeah, I've been meaning to answer the "Zombies in the mall" meme.
Weapon: Flamethrower. Partially 'cause it'd be really effective and partially 'cause I'd get to use a flamethrower.
Song: *grin* Another One Bites the Dust
Person: Max Brooks...if anyone knows how to get out of that situation, he does.

Viadafydd, a painting of a young Queen Elizabeth I has been found. And, apparently, the artist only had one face in his repitoir, no matter who he was painting. ;)
Also, Edward reminds me strongly of Fred Astaire. Though, I guess from now on, I'll have to say that Fred reminds me of Ed. *grin*
~~~
Oh yeah. Something I forgot about the new house...it has *built in bookcases* in the living room. And though it was built the year my Nan & Boomps were born, I just get this feeling that it was created just for me.
And, though we're renting, I'm planning to take it with me when we move to California. *Grin* (I dunno when we're doing that, of course, but it'd probably be cheaper to bring my own house than to find one there.;)
~~~
Reading time. Yay! I love reading time. :) We might finish the last Ramona book today...we started "On the Shores of Silver Lake" Wednesday and are three or four chapters in. I'm not sure what we'll read in place of Ramona, but I'm sure we'll find *something*.

That was weird. I sneezed and said "Bless you".

I'd rather set fire to mine and dance around it under the light of a full moon to the sound of beating drums.
Yeah. That'd be way cool. ;)

That's not weird, I do that all the time when there's no one around to say it to me:)

That book furniture is - oh! oh! oh!
(I'm on our city's arts commission and we're currently trying to figure out how to spend some "percent for art" money on a new children's reading room. I just forwarded that link to the rest of the commission. Too. Cool.)
Suggestions for post-Ramona needs :)
Harriet the Spy
the Anastasia Krupnik series by Lois Lowry
What about some other Beverly Cleary? Ellen Tebbitts, Otis Spofford, and Mitch and Amy are all non-Ramona or Henry Huggins. Also Ralph S. Mouse!
And, if you're prepared to explain some changes in women's lib since the stories were written, I LOVED the Trixie Belden books growing up. Although Sammy may yet be a bit young. :)
Re: Suggestions for post-Ramona needs :)
I know we've read the first two Ralph books...we *own* the third, but I can't remember if we've read it.
She's currently reading Mitch & Amy. *grin*
Oy. Now I know why my mom hardly read to me once I started devouring books. It's difficult to find books to read together. Oh poor us.;)
The weird thing is, the Ramona books were a great companion to the "have to, children should be seen and not heard, be ladylike" components in the Little House books. I never really realized how many of those were there...Sam and I have *lots* of conversations about that, along with the conversations about Ma's attitude toward Native Americans. Parenting is hard. *pout* ;)
And, thank you for the ideas. :)
Love you.
