Shattered Sun

Trish, being the wonderful gal she is, sent me this nifty little website/dictionary on Aussie Slang. All my other friends are going to hate her for it at some point. I hope no one flogs her for it! Hehe…

1. Do you offer comments and/or trackback on your blog? Why or why not? Underwhat circumstances might you pull one or both of these feedback features? I have both features on my journal because it’s nice for people to interact. Otherwise, why not just keep a diary in book form? Or keep something on your computer? Why bother operating a website for it. And to be honest, I can’t think of a time when I would pull either feature. For a while I had only comments possible because my trackback wasn’t working properly, but other than that, nada. (more…)

1. Is your hair naturally curly, wavy, or straight? Long or short? It’s naturally wavy but when it’s long it’s straight. Currently, I’m wearing it long. I try short, but no one ever seems to like it that way.

2. How has your hair changed over your lifetime? I’m honestly not into my lifetime enough to state that well, but I guess that it’s just changed in color. When I was little it was pretty light and it’s getting darker with age. (more…)

Wow. I can’t wait to get this book!! I’ve loved all the books in the series thus far, but Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix sounds like the best one yet. And as they say on Reading Rainbow, Don’t take my word for it!

As some people know, my terrors were both born very early. Sam was born at 29 weeks and Zack at 28 weeks, which is basically having no 3rd trimester. They were tiny little ones, but both weighed a good amount for their ages. Sam was 3 lbs 4 oz and Zack was 2 lbs 10 oz. Seeing them now, you’d never know they were preemies, which is saying something for medical science. I was blessed to have them alive & well and with little problems but it wasn’t without some strife. With both of them, they spent their first 2 months of life in the NICU and under constant care. I can’t really describe everything that goes on and the bonding you do with the nurses, doctors, and other parents. But, Discovery Health is running a Baby Week this week and is showing an awesome show that shows what I experienced. So, if you happen to be into this kind of thing, check out Born Before Their Time and catch a glimpse. It’s such a wonderous world.
