A few days ago I shared Down To Earth Mama’s interview of me for the Great Interview Experiment.  I hope you took a chance to read it because I am pretty hilarious and she asked some really interesting questions.  Below I’ve posted my interview of Jenipurr.  (There are two parts – my original questions and then my follow-up and closing questions.)  She has six cats!  SIX CATS!  That’s one of the most horrible things I have ever heard in my life, but she seems to enjoy it so, you know…to …

Every year Janie and I get a new ornament for our Christmas tree.  Last year we didn’t have a tree, but we still managed to buy an ornament.  We just can’t remember which one it is.  This fat little snowman was one of the special ones, on the year I decided that we needed to specify a holiday theme for our decorating.  Snowmen was easy because it was the least Christian and most plentiful thing we could think of when it comes to holiday decorations.  So we have snowmen all …
