Campfire Songs

I was surfing around the net looking for campfire songs for the lake-kids to sing Saturday night, when I came across this site Becky's Campfire Songbook and a sweet little song. I wish I knew the tune...

Witches
(source: "Rise Up Singing", Peter Blood and Annie Patterson, 1992.)

Chorus:

Who were the witches, where did they come from
Maybe your great, great, great-grandma was one
Witches were wise, wise women they say
And there's a little witch in every woman today

Witches knew all about flowers and trees
How to use all their roots and their leaves and their seeds
When women had babies, the witches were there
To help them and hold them and give them sweet care

Some people thought that the witches were bad
Some people were scared of the power they had
But power to help and to heal and to care
Isn't something to fear, it's a treasure to share

Saint John High School - Vita Vitalis - A Life Worth While

My ten-year High School reunion is this weekend, and I'm NOT going. From what I can see, almost noone I know is going to be there. If Kristine was going to be there, I might. Andrea and I barely speak anymore. When I was 19, I stole her man... Then married him. I deserve whatever I get. I'd love to get in contact with the rest of my old buddies, but my family reunion is the same day, and they'd never let me live it down if I didn't go. Plus, I need more info for the Family Tree, and I have to be there to get it. *sigh* Oh, well. I'll be at the 20 year reunion!! Count on it!!

Hair and Being Myself

I haven't coloured my hair since I got pregnant with Tommy. He's 8 1/2 months old now, so it's been a long time.

I've gone through different phases with my hair. I dyed it red for awhile in high school. Then when I was doing tech support, I went a nice, respectable brown. Then, I got bored about 2 years ago and started going red again. Different shades, like brown-red, but still red.

I've decided to quit it. I'm in a good spot in my life. I like myself. If people think that I look better with darker hair, well, they can just deal with it. I can't possibly see how it could be any of their business. I AM BLONDE! HEAR ME ROAR!!!

If it goes grey, then so be it. I think grey hair is beautiful.

Go look in the mirror, and see your own Real Beauty

Isn't this sweet? I might be wrong, but that looks like a Canadian helmet to me.
