Seasons Greetings all!

Oh boy, I haven't been on in a while. It's really busy here, getting the house cleaned up and relatives are coming over tomorrow to get our xmas stuff from the attic. That and I think I caught a cold... (ugh)
I've been busy working 'round the house and I hung up lit-candy canes outside First outdoor decorations we've had in two years. They look really cute. *cough* Dang throat...

We (my folks and I) might have to delay xmas gift giving for a couple of days after Christmas day, but hey, at least this year we get a holiday. Last year *shudder* still gives me nightmares.

I'm playing around with a few story ideas, but it's taking a while because I haven't felt well.

....Dang.... What else was I gonna write here? *draws a blank*

Oh well, Happy Holidays! 's for everyone.

P.S. I'm still addicted to Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky

Okies, first an update:

I'm doing pretty good. We gotta take Jasper into the vet 'cause the poor lil guy has fleas, earmites and (shudder) hook worms. Stupid woman who sold him to us didn't get him taken care of like she should have.
(sues her like mad)

Now for the funny thing:
Dad and I were coming home from a lousy Doc's visit yesterday, when we stopped behind a pick-up truck and saw the greatest bumper sticker EVER! It had a pink ribbon on it with the words "Save the Ta Tas."
I nearly choked from laughing and so did my dad! It was too funny! I got home and my mom was on the phone with my aunt and I just had to tell her. My aunt was laughing while mom's sitting there going "What's a ta ta?" !!!

Er, *ahem* now a Meme created by

Top 5 movies from your childhood:

5)Mannequin

Yeah, I know. A mild, lame movie, but man I loved it to death. Especially the theme song, which I love to this day!

4)Beauty and the Beast.
Meh, I gotta throw at least one Disney movie in here, and I loved this one. I still know some of the songs to it.

3) The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner movie.
A collection of cartoons rather than a real movie, but I watched it over and over again

2) Short Circuit.
Don't know this film? Then for the love of dirt look it up! It's the grand-daddy of Wall*E, and sparked my love for robots.

1)Care Bears in Wonderland.
That's right! A Care Bears film. Considerably the best 'Wonderland' story I ever grew up with.

Top 5 books from Childhood from childhood:

5)Amilia Bedila (I know I spelled that wrong)

About a maid that does and takes everything literally. Such as heating a actual can of peas instead of taking them out of the can. My mom and I read this one like crazy!

4)Ordinary Amos and the Extraordinary Fish.
About a ordinary man who, while fishing, gets caught by a fish and kept as a pet until they realize little Fish is too irresponsible for a pet. It was basically about appreciating what you have in life (and taking care of your pet)

3)Deputy Dan Gets His Man. (I think that was the proper title....)
Dad would read this and do all the voices to the characters. Dan was a real goof-up kinda guy and Lord was it funny!

2) The Golly Sisters Go West.
Oh Gosh, I can't remember their names! May-May and her sister (who argue and get into funny situations take a covered wagon to travel out west)

1)Choose-Your-Own-Adventure books: Super Mario Bros. Leapin' Lizards. Starring Luigi.
I have this book still on my bookcase. It means so much to me. Actually, all my Mario books do.

Top 5 Video games from your childhood:

5) Duck Hunt.
Best fun I ever had with a toy gun! I used to pretend to be a cop and I was taken those ducks down!

4) Super Mario Bros (the original)
My babysitter and I almost beat this, but just as she went to jump over Koopa, mom and dad came home and we got distracted

3)Toejam and Earl, both the original and Panic On Funkotron.
Ah, sweet memories. My cousin and I played these for HOURS.

2) Sonic 2.
Yup, I was a major Sonic fan back in the day. Even collected the comic books until the story started sucking. And I still have my Sonic doll, the first video game plushie I ever got

1) Super Mario Brothers 3.
Ohhhh Lord.... I adored this game and played it to no end. All hail Mario and Luigi!


Top 5 TV shows from Childhood~~

5)Care Bears
I don't actually remember much about this one, but I know I loved it.

4)Garfield and Friends.
To Lorenzo Music for bringing Garfield to life.

3)The Muppet Show.
The name says it all. Jim, you are sorely missed....

2)Super Mario Bros. Super Show.
C'mon, you knew this was gonna be listed!

1)Looney Tunes.
Marvin Martian trying to blow the sh*t outta Bugs. Need I say more?

Top 5 Moments from Childhood ((You know, awesome things like a trip to disneyland or something funny happening you can remember))

5) My parents took me to Disneyland when I was two, and it was Donald Duck's 60th b-day. I know it was 24 years ago, but I still remember parts of it, especially the HUGE carousel they had.

4) Going to see Jim Henson's Muppets at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. I think I was 7 or 8... It was a lot of fun

3)Visiting the Mall of America when I was 8. I had a cold, and the reason we were in the state was so my mom could go to Mayo Clinic for her cancer, which was hard, but I still had some fun. Visiting Camp Snoopy was the best!

2) Every year for most of my childhood in the fall we would pack up and travel to Indiana to Amish Acres, a huge flea-market and outdoor bazaar type place. Almost every time was a blast. I got to ride in a horse-pulled carriage, go to the 'Cheese House' where they made all kinds of cheeses (I was allergic to most dairy things, but I got to taste the little squares of cheese as a treat whenever we went there.)

1)I don't know if this counts because I was 15, but it still is the best memory of my life. I found out the Musical CATS was playing at the Schubert, and as a surprise my folks said we could go. I got a special outfit just for the occasion, and we went to one of Chicago's best restaurants, the Italian Village. That evening was what real magic feels like. God, if I could re-live any night of my life...

And that's it! Feel free to steal.

Greetings all,

Are you out of your food comas yet?
I had an okay day. It's that time o' month so I was hurting pretty bad, so I camped out on my aunt's couch and taught my 4-year-old cousin how to play Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky. He was pretty good at it, too. The funniest part was when I had to leave, he tried his damnedest to get me to leave the DS with him overnight. "I'll put it where my sisters can't get it, I promise!"
After telling him 'no, I don't think so' for five times his aunt entered and told him to quit it. *snicker*

Anywho, time to plan for Christmas! Maybe I'll doodle a Mario Bros. Xmas pic... *goes off in search of drawing pad*

's to everyone!

Or however you spell it. MOM'S HOME!
Thank you all millions for the prayers and well wishes. Everyone, I can't even begin to tell you how much they helped. She's got a little trouble still with speech (a common thing with seizures) but other than that she's 100% normal.
Jasper is having a ball. He purred like made when she came in the house and now they're playing fetch together *so cute*

Thank you all again so much and may your prayers come back to you ten-fold

With love,
Winter-Stardust and her folks

Oh crap guys and gals... Mom's back in the hospital with seizures She can't even really feed herself. I'm honestly scared out of my mind. The docs are taking every test possible, and they found it's not from a stroke *Thank God!* and they think it's from a medicine she's on because she did this once before.

We need to survive the holidays guys, and get outta here so bad!
Please, prayers, good wishes, we need them all
We need to go home!

Does anyone know of an online prayer request line I can write to?
