Tarot in the presence of a three-legged, green eyed CAT.
This was a good spread too. Lucky to end in the Queen of Cups, I think.
I don't know what I am doing but it makes me feel better to try.
(Do you remember the last time I read your cards Cam? I think that
was the day the line " a lot can happen in a year" came about. We were in Idy...)

Meet Mac's Bunnies from Santa
Their names are LION and REX and Mac has made the best home for them
in her room. They are super cuddly and hop all over the place.
The fluffy faced one is a girl named Lion and the shorter furred squirrely
looking one is a boy named Rex. (spaying and neutering will obviously be in
order very soon!) They are so extremely cute romping in the fricken clover.
Meg and Crys got to meet them too before Crys went back to Indy. (we miss you.)

Love Makes a Family
Go to this website, Love Makes A Family, and take your own family photo to support Equality for All Families in 2012. It's pretty cool to see all the pictures from all over the country. You can add your own too! If you click on Archives you will find us in there somewhere!
Meg and Crys got to Skype decorate with us! Mac made a strawberry chocolate cake, Emmett made dinner and it was Silas' turn to put up the star.

this is cool.
Check out the free PETA vegetarian/vegan starter kit. There are also a lot of great recipes and easy tips. One I loved...substitute mashed banana and cornstarch and water for eggs in many baking recipes.
And check out this page too!

5 minutes ago, Thanksgiving 2011.
I love to cook with my daughter...today pies, mushroom and white wine gravy and Vegan Neatloaf to bring to Grandma Carol's and Grandpa Arnie's. I love Emmett's morning hair and Silas' willingness to be loved-up by his brother and sister. And I love that while I am writing this they are singing Green Day's "Macy's Day Parade".

I am also very Thankful for this. Seriously, this could do so much Good!
An idea from Michael Moore...here's the whole article...I just put the 10 ideas on this blog for the thousands and thousands of people who read it ;) I think it's concise and simple and could do a whole lot of immediate good. what do you think?
10 Things We Want
A Proposal for Occupy Wall Street
Submitted by Michael Moore
1. Eradicate the Bush tax cuts for the rich and institute new taxes on the wealthiest Americans and on corporations, including a tax on all trading on Wall Street (where they currently pay 0%).
2. Assess a penalty tax on any corporation that moves American jobs to other countries when that company is already making profits in America. Our jobs are the most important national treasure and they cannot be removed from the country simply because someone wants to make more money.
3. Require that all Americans pay the same Social Security tax on all of their earnings (normally, the middle class pays about 6% of their income to Social Security; someone making $1 million a year pays about 0.6% (or 90% less than the average person). This law would simply make the rich pay what everyone else pays.
4. Reinstate the Glass-Steagall Act, placing serious regulations on how business is conducted by Wall Street and the banks.
5. Investigate the Crash of 2008, and bring to justice those who committed any crimes.
6. Reorder our nation's spending priorities (including the ending of all foreign wars and their cost of over $2 billion a week). This will re-open libraries, reinstate band and art and civics classes in our schools, fix our roads and bridges and infrastructure, wire the entire country for 21st century internet, and support scientific research that improves our lives.
7. Join the rest of the free world and create a single-payer, free and universal health care system that covers all Americans all of the time.
8. Immediately reduce carbon emissions that are destroying the planet and discover ways to live without the oil that will be depleted and gone by the end of this century.
9. Require corporations with more than 10,000 employees to restructure their board of directors so that 50% of its members are elected by the company’s workers. We can never have a real democracy as long as most people have no say in what happens at the place they spend most of their time: their job. (For any U.S. businesspeople freaking out at this idea because you think workers can't run a successful company: Germany has a law like this and it has helped to make Germany the world’s leading manufacturing exporter.)
10. We, the people, must pass three constitutional amendments that will go a long way toward fixing the core problems we now have. These include:
a) A constitutional amendment that fixes our broken electoral system by 1) completely removing campaign contributions from the political process; 2) requiring all elections to be publicly financed; 3) moving election day to the weekend to increase voter turnout; 4) making all Americans registered voters at the moment of their birth; 5) banning computerized voting and requiring that all elections take place on paper ballots.
b) A constitutional amendment declaring that corporations are not people and do not have the constitutional rights of citizens. This amendment should also state that the interests of the general public and society must always come before the interests of corporations.
c) A constitutional amendment that will act as a "second bill of rights" as proposed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt: that every American has a human right to employment, to health care, to a free and full education, to breathe clean air, drink clean water and eat safe food, and to be cared for with dignity and respect in their old age.
