The whole thing straight from the beginning just makes no sense. If you were a vampire with a 17 or 19 year old body and were a hundred or so years old WHY would you go pose as a high school student? High school sucks. No. You would be living in a big city were [...]

What exactly shall I cook in you? Love, Minnie
There are 3 Anne of Green Gables movies. I’m pretty sure I have only seen the first two (made in 1985 & 1987) with Megan Follows (best Anne of all time) but on Netflix I see that there is a third one made in 2000 also with Megan Follows. But reading all the reviews of [...]

playing by the water Originally uploaded by Minnibird Took Jack out to take a walk and look at birds. We saw coots, seagulls, buffleheads (male, female and juveniles), some pie-billed grebes and, of course, canada geese. Jack liked looking on my phone at iBird Pro at the illustrations of birds.
I was mostly joking in that last post about having failed. But doesnt 2.5 seem so young for this to start happening?! I can’t remember anything I read about gender roles but I’ve certainly never said anything like, “no way that is for a girl and so u don’t want it” or whatever. He’s fairly [...]
I’m visiting my parents with baby. We went to some store and there were bikes and there was a small pink one Jack’s size and I pointed to it and asked if he wanted to ride it. and he said, “no, that’s a girls bike”. AUGH!
