I just found out Raylene Rankin of the Cape Breton musical group The Rankin Family died. She was a beautiful singer and I have fond memories of dancing my shoes off in the front row of one of their concerts as a University student.

I was scared away by the laugh track within the first 30 seconds of turning on the show.

Bravo! I have a stash of dragonskin and bone in my house but my smithing level is not even close to 100 so I am still traipsing around in my golden Elven armour. What does one have to do to get the pretty glass stuff??

hearted for that!

ha! you probably don't want it. I have been told my crew is a walking form of birth control. We can be a pretty rowdy bunch.

High five, from one floozy to another! My husband and I are celebrating our 10th this year too! I now call our first date the worst one night stand ever since we totally messed it up by making it last a week (and then six more years before the wedding). We made a baby on our amazingly romantic wedding night and two…

isn't that just a Bloody mary without the Bloody Mary? Sounds like a fine cure for a cold!

Booo! I can't see the video! That being said, my boy THOUGHT I was pranking him when I told him he needed to wear a sweater vest in our family portraits. He was SO mad at me.

I quit reading baby books after I had my first. I have three kids now and I try really really hard to read books and find time to watch movies and TV shows that aren't animated so I have things to talk about with grown ups besides kids stuff.

My baby is turning five this weekend. I am currently stuffed with buttermilk chocolate Thomas the Tank Engine cake washed down with some pink wine.

Awww-my heart has been warmed right down to the cockles.

we didn't have a dance and ditched our families at around 10:00. We made a baby on our wedding night.

You hate Land Girls and want to burn it with fire? You hate me for killing any shred of productivity you may have had?

High Five to the trashy costumed soap opera lovers!

You should check out Land Girls next.

I am trying to pace myself so I don't run out of episodes too quickly. I love Chummy.

I don't have an HBC in my city so now I'll have to drive a couple of hours for my Maple Leaf mittens :-(

Sorry!! I am not up on my UK networks—heck, I am not even up on my North American ones since we cancelled the cable five years ago! (but yay for imported trash! Trash sounds so much better in your accents)

I am filling my Downton Void with Call the Midwife. Another soapy costume drama from the BBC.
