Rindercella

The Story of Rindercella Once apon a time, in a coreign fountry, there lived a very geautiful birl; her name was Rindercella. Now, Rindercella lived with her mugly other and her two sugly isters. And in this same coreign fountry, there was a very prandsome hince.

And this prandsome hince was going to have a bancy fall. And he'd invited people from riles amound, especially the pich reople. Rindercella's mugly other and her two sad bisters went out to buy some drancy fesses to wear to this bancy fall, but Rindercella could not go because all she had to wear were some old rirty dags. Finally, the night of the bancy fall arrived and Rindercella couldn't go. So she just cat down and scried. She was citting there srying, when all at once there appeared before her, her gairy fodmother. And she touched her with her wagic mand ... and there appeared before her, a cig boach and hix white sorces to take her to the bancy fall. But now she said to Rindercella, "Rindercella, you must be home before nidmight, or I'll purn you into a tumpkin!"

When Rindercella arrived at the bancy fall, the prandsome hince met her at the door because he had been watchin' behind a woden hindow. And Rindercella and the prandsome hince nanced all dight until nidmight...and they lell in fove. And finally, the mid clock strucknight. And Rindercella staced down the rairs, and just as she beached the rottom, she slopped her dripper!

The next day, the prandsome hince went all over the coreign fountry looking for the geautiful birl who had slopped her dripper. Finally he came to Rindercella's house. He tried it on Rindercella's mugly other ... and it fidn't dit. Then he tried it on her two sigly usters ... and it fidn't dit. Then he tried it on Rindercella ... and it fid dit. It was exactly the sight rize!

So they were married and lived heverly ever hapwards. Now, the storal of the mory is this: If you ever go to a bancy fall and want to have a pransome hince loll in fove with you, don't forget to slop your dripper!

unbelievable

I seem to be entering into the third virus of the month... It's been pretty regularly paced: sick for a week, better for a week, sick for a week, better for a week and woke up this morning with a sore throat and a cough--AGAIN.

I'm trying to pretend it's not so but even my body is hurting again... I have been popping Vitamin Cs all day to give my immune system a boost but this is draining. :(

The most crucial thing on my mind is Candlelight Dinner--our first dress rehearsal is next week and the actual performance is two weeks from now...

Thank God Fasnacht Break starts after school today--I will be trying to sleep and not overdo it... but with The Fold here this week, the concert on Sunday night and Fasnacht Morgenstreich at 4am on Monday morning and practice for Candlelight Dinner and Michaela coming... ahh! :) I'll do my best but it's such an exciting beautiful time!!

ba dah schweeyahh

let-me-in-a-your-a-window!

i am certain this morning that the seven o'clock azure horizon is murmuring to me secrets...

secrets and promises

spring is coming....!

for the love of freshley toasted homemade bread

dear friends,

after a week of wooziness resulting in bed being my favorite chill location, I am feelig stir crazy or maybe I have island fever? Or maybe I just need some lime in the coconut and shake it all up?

(strange references to the Muppets seem to come to mind at the most unobstrusive times)

Did I just make up a word? Anyway, so today, in rebellion, I got out and walked around Kandern after a leisurely breakfast at Lacoste. What a lovely way to start a day which would soon hold sunshine! The day then unfolded like this: arrived back to my bedroom thinking of a nap, when behold! A new addition to my bedroom furnishing! A delightful garris bookshelf which I have colorfied and pasteified to my heart's artistic content! I'll put pictures up soon on Facebook--maybe on here too. :)

Anyway, mm that wasn't very exciting... Also there was about a 5 hour gap between when this post began and when it is ending, at midnight... crap. sorry. I think I'm so too tired to make this a beautiful ending, i'm sorry!

hope you all have a lovely Sunday!

yes i am alive!

friends! i apologize for a severe lack in post-age... We lost the internet for a couple weeks and I have been somewhat distracted by a certain young man, to be very honest. :) That and Christmas time has been a fantastic whirl of a holiday season... Ann-Phyllis and I traveled and met up in London which was so incredibly lovely! Pictures to come, don't worry! We traveled after four busy days down to Ski Camp next, which was also absolutely wonderful!! The Alps are so gorgeous... And so are the GEM-Ks....! It was such a wonderful time! Now I'm back at school, and this adjustment week has been a little rough. My student is so anxious about everything right now--I'm praying for him for healing and peace in his litle spirit.

In other news... the night sky has been stunningly clear and full of crisp delightful stars... The moon in its waning phase has been winking at me and sharing secrets untold, and I enjoyed an incredible episode of swinging in the sunset a few days ago which invigorated my heart beautifully... God takes my breath away constantly.

I can't wait to share pictures with you all of this beautiful time. It's so full and whimsical--I look forward to it.
