All Inside My Head

Posted in Misc., Photos on July 21, 2008 by Whispering Wood

Yes, that is a picture of the inside of my sphenoid sinus, which is way in the back of the head, on top of the optic nerve, under the brain. High rent area. The surgeon said that “the red stuff” is blood…

For the record, this is what they did to me:

Yahooo!

This has been around for a while, but it’s always a fun distraction. Left mouse click changes color. Space bar clears the page. Unwind your colorful mind…

Have at, here.

It looked bad; it smelled worse.

Nurse Rules

Two years ago (Spring, 2005), I was carrying the Wanderboy in a sling and trimming the roses, when I tripped, fell, and scraped up my leg pretty good protecting the boy.

Wondering, with her then recent personal injury, wrote me out a prescription:

Nurse Wondering Rules

Here’s the translation:

  1. Use play bin when working.
  2. Wear sterty shoes.
  3. Every 15 minots check on baby.
  4. Rest it until you feel like working.
  5. Keep it in bandade for 3 days.
  6. Work carefully.
  7. Do not tuch until heeled.
  8. If any problem, pleas see me.
  9. Drink water 2 days at every meal.
  10. Keep out of sun for 3 days.
  11. Tell docter V. wat I did. Do this once.

I have to say, I think number 4 is brilliant.

For all the Mothers in the Wood…

…And especially mine.

Natalie Merchant, “Kind & Generous”

You’ve been so kind and generous
I don’t know how you keep on giving
For your kindness I’m in debt to you
For your selflessness, my admiration
And for everything you’ve done

You know I’m bound…
I’m bound to thank you for it

You’ve been so kind and generous
I don’t know how you keep on giving
For your kindness I’m in debt to you
And I never could have come this far without you
So for everything you’ve done

You know I’m bound…
I’m bound to thank you for it

I want to thank you
For so many gifts
You gave with love and tenderness
I want to thank you

I want to thank you
For your generosity
The love and the honesty
That you gave me

I want to thank you
Show my gratitude
My love and my respect for you
I want to thank you

I want to…

Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you

Mom&Me3

And for all the future mothers…

Me&M

… thank you in advance.

Wandering’s New Song

Posted in Misc., Music, Quotes, Wandering on April 19, 2007 by Whispering Wood

Folk music is popular in the wood. Wandering likes “I had a rooster.”

I had a rooster, my rooster pleased me
I fed my rooster ‘neath the greenberry tree
My little rooster went cocka doodle doo
Dee doodle-ee doodle-ee doodle-ee do.

I had a dog, my dog pleased me
I fed my dog ‘neath the greenberry tree
My little doggie went ruff ruff ruff
My little rooster went cocka doodle doo
Dee doodle-ee doodle-ee doodle-ee do.

I had a kitty, my kitty pleased me
I fed my kitty ‘neath the greenberry tree
My little kitty went meow
My little doggie went ruff ruff ruff
My little rooster went cocka doodle doo
Dee doodle-ee doodle-ee doodle-ee do.

Etc.


(Music info here.)

Well, I heard Wandering sing this song the other day, but apparently he changed the words. It now goes like this:

I had a Jenna Rose, and the Jenna Rose pleased me
I fed my Jenna Rose ‘neath the greenberry tree
The little Jenna Rose went I love you
Dee doodle-ee doodle-ee doodle-ee do.

Hmmmmmm…

The Jenna Rose
