Mother's Day

Today is mother's day in Sweden.
This cartoon seems fitting (and brought a tear to my eye).

Because I can

Cookies and double espresso for dinner. It's my birthday today and the sun is shining. I'll have cookies for dinner - because I'm old enough, because I can. :-D

Little green men

Little green men, my little green men. Those words have taken a different meaning of late. :-)

May the fourth be with you

Best date of the year? ;-)

What?

Super glue.

"for a classic way of life"

Huh? What? "For a classic way of life"?? Is that to say that gluing broken things back together is "classic"? Opposed to... modern? Opposed to progressive?

I love it! :-D

A day well spent

A day when you learn something is a day not wasted. Isn't that what they say?
Tonight S told me Earth had a second moon - I was certain he was trying to fool me (for some unknown reason) so I did as he bade me and googled it.

Wikipedia states - indeed it's not a moon, but the asteroid was initially assumed to be one because of it's path around the sun.

Meet Cruithne - not Earth's second moon.

First char

Oldest son created his first World of Warcraft character the other day. Entirely his creation - "mum, I want to be one of those skeleton dudes", perhaps I should worry about his choice of words there "I want to be.."? 8-)

Initially he wanted to make it a warlock but since that meant he would be wearing a skirt and thus not displaying his skeletal legs he changed his mind and made it a warrior instead. :-D I'm thankful for that since warlocks are the only class I've never played to any level that counts.

I'm quite convinced we won't be playing much with this character since he is many years too young to play WoW still. But we had fun for the better part of an hour just creating the character and walking around finishing the first five or so quests (it was total team work - oldest son did the jumping, youngest son pressed 2 or 3 as required when questing, I did the navigation and reading). 8-)
