Woo. It intrigues me. If you don’t know what woo is, it’s basically pseudo-science. If someone is explaining something to you and your brain actually stops and says “WTF did they just say” you’ve encountered the woo. Woo can be fun sometimes. We’ve all read our horoscopes before but, it can also be dangerous when people replace sound medical advice with some stuff they found on the internet. We’re not getting into the dangerous stuff here, though, because I happen to enjoy my heathen existence. Instead, we’re going into the wacky world of vaginal steaming. A crazy trend made popular by a rich white woman who clearly needs more to do. *Psst, Gwyneth, my carpets needs a good steam if you’re free.*

I actually have a blog post in the works, but until I finish that enjoy some Peter Frampton!
Might as well add some music to my poor neglected blog, right? Enjoy!
You poor neglected blog. So much potential. I just allow you to sit here, waiting, hoping, longing for words to fill your “Text Here” box. I know. You miss me. I miss you too. I have so much to share with you, the list of awesome places we explored while in the states, the list of awesome things I want us to do before we leave this island, my strategy for homeschooling while moving, and the various things I’ve done on the homeschooling front from changing our morning meeting board to exploring a Letter of the Day curriculum. So much to share with you. And then there is the blog giveaway series, oh sweet neglected blog giveaway series. You two can blame FB, for it is a lover that has proven hard to shake. But I will shake it, for us!
Until then though enjoy this video featuring A Perfect Circle's cover of John Lennon's Imagine:
I've been so busy with holiday prep and now General Disarray's birthday that this poor blog has been neglected. So here, have some holiday cheer! See I still love you too!
A Friday Flashback to get you ready for Trick-or-Treating! Have fun and be safe this weekend!
Well I have to get back into blogging mode! So to help get me going I'll start with a fun Friday Flashback!
I think I'll even watch some Back 2 the Future while I work through some blogging ideas. Forgive me if I get lost in Michael J. Fox's dreamy eyes though...the 80's were soooo good! Don't you agree?
To Karen and Lydia can you ladies please contact me at holmes_schooling@yahoo.com that way I can pass your contact information onto the organization hosting the blogging course, thank you ladies.
My poor blog. I know you are eager to share all we have been doing. The time will come. For now we are enjoying the sights, sounds, and free wifi of the local library. Got to love the public library system!
And because I haven't forgot about Friday:
Out of 7 comments numbers 6 and 2 were chosen by Random.Org! Congrats to Karen and Lydia! I will be contacting you shortly with all the needed information! Once again congrats!

Things have been quieter than usual on this blog because T.B.M. and I are in the middle of planning an adventure. Ok I’m doing all the planning and they are blissfully unaware of everything about to take place other than we are going on an adventure. I’m hoping to blog through most of it, I’m not sure where all it will take us, but I intend to make the most of it and enjoy every hectic second. Life is far too short to not enjoy it.

Grab your hairbrushes and keep your bedhead because it's time for another Friday Flashback! Enjoy!
Ah Typhoon Muifa. If you are living in the states you probably haven’t heard about it, but this typhoon is set to invade our little island sometime tomorrow. I figured I should find some music to sing along to while I prep, and then I remembered the perfect song that completely conveys my feelings on the whole situation. Enjoy!
And remember folks every prep kit should have a first aid kit, bottled water, snacks, and condoms!
I think I will make this a regular thing because I love putting on music from my childhood and dancing around the living room while T.B.M. look on in sheer horror. Yes I became that parent and I don’t care. I know you all know the lyrics so grab your hairbrushes, crank up the volume on your computers, and embarrass your children right along with me! *If we are lucky they may just join in with us!*
