Happy Halloween!

What a delightful fall day for the holiday! Today's plans include making a crockpot full of venison chili, hopefully starting to sew on skirts, tidying up the house and maybe a nice walk with the pups.

Thought of the day

It's the things in common that make relationships enjoyable, but it is the little differences that make them interesting.

Shiny revelation

Seems that I've a confession to make and reveal the mystery of the shiny and panda talk to my gentle readers.

Long story short is that I am head over heels in love with the most amazing man, daecabhir. Lucky for me, he feels the same way. For those doing the math, daecabhir  = panda. (And you thought algebra was hard!)

"How/when in the heck did this happen?" you may ask. The best way to explain it is perhaps in daecabhir's own words:

"dreamtigress invited me to join a post-Faire meal at Killarney Pub last Saturday, and t'was there that something "clicked" with her sister bikher. We'd met before, my claim to fame being introducing dreamtigress (and as a result, bikher and many others) to the liquid bliss that is St. Germaine's (bikher calls it the "closest thing to Faerie Juice this side of the rainbow"), and we'd flirted a bit earlier that day as one does at Faire, but I don't think either of us were prepared for the spark that came out of that evening. And I'm not going to go into the details, because to do so would be tawdry, rude and inconsiderate, and just might make a few of you blush."

Okay, so that explain the panda thing. what the heck is with the shiny?

There had been some joking about "what does shiny taste?" over dinner due to the line in the movie, Over the Hedge. daecabhir and I have decided that our "spark" is precisely what shiny tastes like.

So not only did I have a most wonderful season of MDRF with my sister, dreamtigress managed to give me the best gift ever. No wonder she is my favorite sister!
