“Woman!” cried I, somewhat tearsome,

“Who are you to stand so fearsome

With your wavy locks of auburn hair and eyes of emerald green?”

Quoth the woman, “I’m Jolene”

raise your hand if you spent the whole day dealing with poor attention issues and planning to call the psychiatrist for an appointment for an ADHD evaluation but never did because you forgooooooot

Raise your other hand if you found your antibiotics, which you though you threw away on accident, in your kid’s nail polish and then wanted to punch yourself in the faaaaaaace

Honestly the biggest disappointment I had researching ABC was that medieval authors did not, in fact, see the creatures they were describing and were trying their best to describe them with their limited knowledge while going “what the fuck… what the fuck…”

[a-book-of-creatures]

Instead all those creatures you know came about from transcription and translation errors from copying Greco-Roman sources (who themselves got them from travelers’ tales from Persia and India - rhino -> unicorn, tiger -> manticore, python -> dragon, and so on).

So unicorns are real

[a-book-of-creatures]

behold… a unicorn

I always thought animals in medieval manuscripts looked like the result of having to draw say. A Tree Kangaroo, but your only source for what it looked like was your friend who heard it from a fellow who knows a man who swears he saw one once, whilst very drunk and lost, and I am SO PLEASED  to find out this is, in fact, the case.

Questing Beast

- Neck of a snake

- body of a leopard

- haunches of a lion

- feet off a hart (deer)

So is it

Or….

[copperbadge]

Every time this post crosses my dash I just think how sweet and pettable the Questing Beast looks, then I scroll down and am confronted with the baleful eye of a giraffe.

How could you NOT fall in love with the glow of the moon and stars, the warmth of the sun, the ancient life within the trees, and the sweet melodies of the winds?

Also I went from green to pink and purple. The purpled faded incredibly fast so I’m redoing it in a week 🤷🏽‍♀️

She’s easily the coolest kid in town.

Is 2.0 getting a bed that looks like a Jurassic Park Jeep?

Yes.

TK has an adult tooth?! What fresh hell is this?!

[mrskaaay]

My brain is so dumb. I am teaching from home. This is my 3rd week doing this so I know how work intensive it is.

So why do I think this is a great time to move all the bricks from the very front of our loooong front yard and put them in the back yard so I can also move our fire pit? And also keep up with reading and embroidery??

[mrskaaay]

I THINK I FOUND THE LEAKY PIPE IN OUR FRONT YARD WHICH WOUKD SAVE US SO MUCH MONEY OMG 😭🙌🏽

[mrskaaay]

Working from home again and I am getting tired of t shirts and leggings. My hair was not having it this morning.

[mrskaaay]

Ok it’s kinda green 🤷🏽‍♀️

[mrskaaay]

In a shocking turn of events, dying my hair green did not, in fact, lessen my anxiety.

But it was funny when 2.0 asked if I did make up in my hair 😂
