Bad poetry

No, none of it here :). But I'm working on another set of prayers, and am finding that damn, I am writing pretty much the same thing again. It's been a while since I wrote. And now I am consciously avoiding looking at the old ones because I am curious.

Because I think I have to think of it as a measure of how my understanding of the gods has developed, or changed, or become fine-tuned. I personally have found it a great way to relate to the gods--to write to them--and seeing what happens when I sit down to do it is possibly a sign of how I'm doing there :).

I'm waiting for the snow. The trees have barely started to turn, and here we are expecting snow. It's okay--it won't stay on the ground this early in the season, and it probably won't even make for hazardous driving conditions--but the first snow of size is important.

And we are set for winter. I have a new winter coat (black leather drover's coat, very cool!), elder daughter has a new coat, younger daughter inherits elder daughter's coat of a few years ago, and they both have new boots. Younger daughter's are Hello Kitty boots that light up, apparently this is beyond wonderful.

At the shoe store last week, we were checking out, two pairs of winter boots, the cashier says they have a "buy two, get one free" thing going. We were in a hurry and didn't need more shoes, so I sent elder daughter to get something she liked. She came back with what had to have been the most gloriously tacky shoes in the entire store! They are clogs, blue with purple glitter, bright pink soles and lining, and chains along the edge with three nifty Hello Kitty charms attached. Shoes that only a nine-year-old could love. I got them, just because, well, how often will I be able to get her something that outrageously perfect?

You are a famous historian. While making a
documentary about King Arthur and the quest for
the Holy Grail, you were unexpectedly slain by
a random knight.
