I Have a Hatchling!

It's green and little and cute with a frill on its head. Look!



I'm way more psyched about it than I thought I'd be. I can't tell if it's a boy or a girl and I'm clueless about naming them.

Off to get another egg.

More Eggs

I'm feeling brave; I have two new eggs.

A Different Take on Another Fairy Tale

(I don't know where this originated; a friend e-mailed it to me.)

Once upon a time in a land far away,a beautiful, independent,self-assured princess happened upon a frog as she sat contemplating ecological issues on the shores of an unpolluted pond
in a verdant meadow near her castle.

The frog hopped into the princess' lap and said: "Elegant Lady,I was once a handsome prince,
until an evil witch cast a spell upon me. One kiss from you, however,and I will turn back
into the dapper, young prince that I am and then, my sweet, we can marry and set up housekeeping in your castle with my mother, where you can prepare my meals,clean my clothes, bear my children,and forever feel grateful and happy doing so. "

That night,as the princess dined sumptuously on lightly sauteed frog legs seasoned in a white wine
and onion cream sauce,she chuckled and thought to herself: I don't freakin' think so.
