oh, mylanta!

Just updated my list of upcoming events, and OMG! It's pretty stunning to see it all listed like that. To say that my dance card is full this month would be a gross understatement. I guess I'd better gear up for a busy few weeks. I'm looking forward to it all, but it also could prove to be pretty exhausting and stressful. Oh, well - after all, 'tis the season! :)

Patty O. said...: Wow, I am impressed. You really will be busy. It is great that you have so many friends there to hang with--and you guys have some fun activities planned! Should be a festive time. wish I could join in the fun, but I will look forward to updates on your blog so I can experience them vicariously.

We have decided to scale back a bit this year. We are staying home for Christmas and are skipping the church Christmas party, etc. Danny just gets too riled up at those things and then none of us have much fun. To be honest,I have pretty much the same sensory issues as Danny when it comes to big groups, so I won't miss the huge parties. I am actually enjoying slowing it down more and being more choosy about what we participate in. Danny has really taught me that about myself and I appreciate it. Anyway, I will quit rambling.; December 4, 2007 at 10:09 AM

There was once an actual salamander in my Dad’s slipper (His house is in a rather wooded area and is a haven to many non-human creatures.), and my best friend and I thought that would make a great children’s book title. We never wrote the book, but I figured I might as well put the catchy phrase to use as my blog title. Why not? (We don't know for sure if it was really a salamander vs. some other kind of lizardlike creature, but we were going for the alliteration. Artistic license, ya know?)
