So Long...

My blog has moved!

I've redecorated.

Come see. :D

Goodbye Cookies

Alas, bad news. Mother's Cookies are no more. They've closed their doors forever. When I was pregnant with my first baby, I used to eat their white chocolate chip cookies every night with milk, reasoning I was drinking milk so that made it okay. They haven't made those cookies in a while, but now they're not going to be making any cookies at all. I am sad. I will miss seeing those purple and pink packages on the shelves.

Did you like Mother's Cookies?

Rest in Peace, Monster

After four years of swimming and eating, our faithful betta fish, Monster, has died. It's a good thing he was so beautiful when he was alive, because that sort of makes up for the fact that he smelled utterly vile when was floating lifeless in his bowl yesterday. This fish looks like him, except Monster didn't have a black head. We still have the other betta fish, unnamed. He might be happy that Monster's gone, because now he can have the bigger bowl.

There were no services. Only a hurried, nose-pinching trip to the garbage can outside.

What Happens...

I'm in Vegas until Tuesday. See you when I get back. :)

Remembering the Soldiers

Today my blog is dedicated to all of America's fallen soldiers. God bless them. I'm deeply grateful for their sacrifice.

Words to Taps

(Note: there are no "official" words to Taps. Below are the most popular.)

Day is done,
gone the sun,
From the hills,
from the lake,
From the skies.
All is well,
safely rest,
God is nigh.

Go to sleep,
peaceful sleep,
May the soldier
or sailor,
God keep.
On the land
or the deep,
Safe in sleep.

Love, good night,
Must thou go,
When the day,
And the night
Need thee so?
All is well.
Speedeth all
To their rest.

Fades the light;
And afar
Goeth day,
And the stars
Shineth bright,
Fare thee well;
Day has gone,
Night is on.

Thanks and praise,
For our days,
'Neath the sun,
'Neath the stars,
'Neath the sky,
As we go,
This we know,
God is nigh.
