Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
And there are many paths to tread
New verse:
|
Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by! |
|
|
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well! |
|
Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed! |

to the most serious difference being the odoriferous quality.. but with respect to relevance it is all in appearance.
Well..... That was interesting. Bittygirl just put on her shoes, all by herself, upside down and backwards, without socks.
To: TalonDJ
Bwahaha. Yeah. Ok, that's a little disturbing. Sorry.
but that's exactly what the curry looks like before you add things to it.

This recipe looks yummy... from muggle.net
Madam Rosemerta's magical recipes.
Butterbeer! It warms you up AND tastes great. Now in take-away form from The Three Broomsticks. (Many thanks to Melissa for this recipe!)
Ingredients:
* 1 cup (8 oz) club soda or cream soda
* ½ cup (4 oz) butterscotch syrup (ice cream topping)
* ½ tablespoon butter
Directions:
Step 1: Measure butterscotch and butter into a 2 cup (16 oz) glass. Microwave on high for 1 to 1½ minutes, or until syrup is bubbly and butter is completely incorporated.
Step 2: Stir and cool for 30 seconds, then slowly mix in club soda. Mixture will fizz quite a bit.
Step 3: Serve in two coffee mugs or small glasses; a perfectly warm Hogwarts treat for two!

Looks exactly like Jessi the Dain-Bramaged Lab. :-D
If I could, I'd bring her up with me and leave her with you for ~training~. hehehehe...
Heading home now. See ya later!

Back from the interview. Man that was awkward and awful. My tongue and brain weren't working together at *all*. I musta said "it's kinda hard to put that into words..." and "you know?" a coupla dozen times. Ugh.
Good thing it doesn't matter!
Heh...I don't think I'd wanna work for anyone who would hire me after *that* interview.
To: 2Jedismom
I was telling her I like to buy lots of meat when it's on sale then divide it up and freeze it. She said "Why don't you just have them divide it up and wrap it up for you?" I felt like I'd been slapped in the face with the cold fish of obviousness! LOL!!! Heh...I got slapped the other week, too. Last sale. I'd always buy the big package and then repackage everything, which was a pretty big hassle, but they didn't have any big packages out. I was mourning this when Jen pointed out I could get it from the counter, and if I did that, they'd wrap stuff in whatever amounts I wanted. Duh!
To: HairOfTheDog
Woohoo! Well, my conference call ended up lasting ~only~ 2 hours and 40 minutes. Ugh.

Interesting!
I've been wanting to try to make ginger beer since reading about Polly in "The Magician's Nephew" drinking it in the attic crawl space!

I'm just waiting for the lady to call again about picking up these bookcases. And trying to decide if I should care in the least that the interview didn't go well. I guess not. I got a whole world ahead of me, right?
It was just weird, though. Lots of questions I've answered a zillion times, and my mind went totally blank. Grrr.
To: 2Jedismom
Read the post above that one.
To: RosieCotton
Heh! Gotcha.
I'm fixin' to log off...Steve is coming home right after work...I'd like to get the house picked up before he gets home.

Oh, and I wouldn't worry about the interview, other than to chalk it up to experience.

Might you have been distracted by knowing you did not really want the job? Being even a little two-faced can be tough when you are not that type of person.
To: TalonDJ; 2Jedismom
*shrug*
I dunno. Of course, knowing that I'm not really wanting to stick around, it didn't help that the very first question was one on why I wanted to work there.
But I don't think I've *ever* stammered and stuttered and "I'm not sure"ed as much as I did today. It was awful.
To: RosieCotton
it didn't help that the very first question was one on why I wanted to work there. Didn't you say "because I need a paycheck"? :)
