Did you know it's next to impossible to find Apache Beading online? I've found this out in the last few days - learn something new all the time! Photos are very few (though there's crap loads of "indian" beading to be found). Look for LIPAN APACHE and you're up the proverbial stinky brown river without a paddle. So, I've scoured the web and come up with a few designs I'm using and planning on

It's all her fault. Yes, her fault, Katy's. We happened to meet up at the Witte on Tuesday afternoon (free after 3 baby!!). Well, she went and posted a photo of the incident. I look too damn goofy for my own good (I look like that all the time though). Anyhow, I'd planned to meet up with Kurt but it washed out due to my pooper van and it's ongoing issues. Yeah, that'd be the poopy van in

Yeah I got the results. I passed. I'm not too pleased with my scores though. I scored 99% in Language Arts - Reading and in Social Studies. However, I only got 96% at Mathematics (I'm shocked it's that high), 84% Language Arts - Writing (I guess my essay sucked), and 73% in Science. I'm really not happy with that low of a grade in Science. I should have done much, much better. I'm also not

The oldest heathen picked her tribe and sub-group. Now mommy can start on the patterns and how to work out the beading designs... I might be blind in 3 month's time but I'm going to give it my best shot on the beading work. It won't be a fully beaded yoke, but I'm going to try. I'm going to cheat on the moccasins though. I'm only going to do shoe covers as I have no buckskin to work and

I'm trying really hard to convince my oldest child that she can NOT wear a war bonnet, carry a bow & arrows, or a tomahawk if she's to be an Indian maiden. I'm trying really, really hard and I'm failing as of lately. I can not convince her she should have a cradleboard and papoose. She seems to want to be a Plains Indian, but I have no idea what tribe and sub-group. As such, I have crap loads

To make me feel better. I'm dealing with stupid Housing crap at the moment, but he made it so much easier. He told me how much land he'll allow me to look into buying for when we settle back down in TEXAS!! Minimum of 5 acres, max of 25 (to start with, possibly expanding it in the future). I'm searching several websites and have seen lots of land for sale, but if someone has a good place to

Do we not consider it a sucessful get-together unless someone ends up at the emergency room. *wink* Yes, I spent part of the 4th of July in the ER. Not just any ER, but the ER at Ft. Sam Houston's new BAMC. First time to the new BAMC and it was with a child bleeding ... This is the child that bashed her teeth before we went on COT leave, who had an emergency room trip to Sigonella's ER, and

It took me quite some time to track down the video and lyrics, but this is the last song sung, by my mom, to my grandfather before he was lowered down. His grandfather sung it to him as a child, and my mom learned it especially for him as he told her about it before he passed. My great-aunt, who is one of the strongest women I know, kept her composure even through Amazing Grace, but this one

No ADAC to be found! I the last 3 days heater hoses have broken, the van has died and now the alternator is crap. It'll be tomorrow before I can help repair it. I love my little van and the great gas milage it gets but I'm a little ticked that it keeps having stuff break - stuff that's supposed to have been maintained properly since the last time we were here. I overheated on 181 North, just

The girls and I are headed home on Friday. The USAF has come through in a big way. We've been given emergency leave status and TMO/SATO is paying for the tickets. Hubby has tried to explain how as a dependent I'm allowed the status, but I still don't get it. Either way, I am deeply appreciate of all the help from SATO/TMO, Shirt, the Red Cross, Pass & ID, and everyone else along the way. Pop

Sorry if I ramble. If the blog is quite for a while, please bear with me. My grandfather is at the end of his battle with cancer. The Red Cross is working to get the girls and I home, though I don't think I'll get there in time to say goodbye in person. I'm not mad about it, I accepted a long time ago that living the military lifestyle, I wouldn't be able to get home even in dire

Anyone know where to find videos of Mexican Sign Language (also known as Seña Español, or lengua de señas mexicana). I need words that exist in Spanish that don't exist in ASL - tortilla, salsa, avocado, tamales, etc, etc, etc. My child needs to know the signs for the food she eats and the Spanish she knows but they don't exist in ASL. Anyone know where to find a video dictionary of MSL/SE/LSM

Hanging is too good for whomever chose to burn down the Governor's mansion. The Death Penalty is too lenient for the destruction of human history, irreplaceable to those who own it - all of humanity. I'd be very afraid of the Texas Rangers saying they'll hunt you down and find you. The FBI has nothing on the determination of the Rangers. Like I said - Get a rope.

For now anyway. The 4 year-old has hit us up for a HP party come September. ACK!!! Not really, I have left over tableware in the right colors, but I'll need to replace a couple tablecloths. I've got goody bags left, and decorations. Plenty of ideas going though ... Many, many thanks to our kind hosts, since Services (in the form of OutDoor Rec) screwed us over again. I booked, 2 days later

Okay, I'm shocked! My husband is watching, and dare I say enjoying, a British tv show! A Dr. Who spin-off no less! We're watching season 1 of Torchwood. Premiered on BBC3 & HD, moved to BBC2. He actually genuinely enjoys watching it, along with the cat (more about her later). It revolves around the Torchwood Institute, and how they scavenge alien technology for their own uses, supposedly

To take me away, ha ha! They're coming to take me away, he he! But not before I'm done with Harry Potter party stuff, please. I've been working on HP stuff for the last couple weeks. I got all the heathen's invites done and in to school. I need to mail the rest stateside tomorrow. Everyone got a decoder pen to view the invite with, along with a little note letting them know how said pen

Republican Senator John Cornyn (one of mine) has introduced a bill to speed up the military's handling of ballots. He claims it's to ensure that all military ballots are counted, be it by using Express Mail (Military Service one would assume), new methods of tracking ballot shipments, and state law changes to make it easier to count a late ballot (presumably post marked before the cut-off date).

I hate Scantron forms. Have I ever said that before? I really, REALLY hate Scantron forms. I finished up my GED testing today. Yesterday was the Science, Social Studies and Reading portions. Today I did the Math and Writing I & II portions, including the essay. I think I'll pass it fairly well. I know I got some wrong on the math, no questions in my mind.

I needed better ideas on my pinata - poor dumb Nagini is too heavy for the twisty style balloon and is pushing out of shape. So, I consulted some other mil-wives and they have given me a fantastic, and very easy, idea. I picked up some cheap (clearance isle) golf balls, gold spray paint and white foam sheets. Can anyone tell me what these items will make? That's right!!! Golden Snitches!!
