Totally random

More totally random tidbits from my side of the fence…

Party on!  Yes, my birthday celebration continues.  I sipped an Eggnog latte this morning – a gift from a friend.  I also received a whole parcel of goodies from my friend in Alaska.  One especially delightful treat: Jeffrey Kacirk’s Altered English:  Surprising Meanings of Familiar Words.  They’re knowledge cards, don’t-ya-know – and they’re some good times.  One side lists the word and definition (and where the definition was derived), the other side includes an example of the word in a sentence.  For instance:  Pecker.  Courage, confidence (John Wilkinson, Leeds Dialect Glossary and Lore, London, 1924).  His pecker was the only thing that kept Claude going in the face of possible failure.  {snicker}

Moving right along …

On a mission.  I’m on a mission to keep handwritten communications alive and well.  With that in mind, I have a new site … http://www.myfelicitations.com/blog.html.  It’s taken me months – MONTHS I tell you – to get this up and running.  And I just discovered this morning that I can’t add pictures to the blog. *SOB!!!*  So sad – yet I will try to go on.  I’m telling you this because today’s post is important for those shipping packages internationally.  If this is you, check it out.  Also, if you like fancy papers and the like, the resource links are awe-some!  If I do say so myself. 

Next up, keeping books afloat (why are you laughing?) … 

Why yes, I am nice, thanks for noticing.  If you check out my new blog, you’ll notice my “Operation Nice” badge.  I debated that one.  I’m not really nice, per say.  I can be kind … but there’s a slight chance my feistiness outweights kindness.  Yet I like the idea of being nice!  Then it hit me!  Posting that I’m nice surely doesn’t count.  It’s kinda like saying your humble.  So.  There you have it. 

I have my sign, and I’m okay with it…

Greetings & salutations

Just in case you're wondering what you've gotten yourself into, my blog's a lot like life: it's a hodge-podge. So pour yourself a steaming cup of goodness, settle in, and I'll tell you all about it--whatever 'it' happens to be . . .

The fine print

Magpie & Muttonfly is the place where I write about all the things that make our stories grand. Emphasis on me, myself, and I. Any review or recommendation posted on this site is solely my own {unless otherwise noted}. Occasionally you will find a link to Amazon.com. An eternal window shopper, I only list items that strike my fancy. Any time you click the link and proceed to make a purchase, I get a wee referral fee. You will not be charged more--but once or twice a year I earn enough to purchase a tin of my favorite tea. So I do thank you for that!
