It's rather nice to be added to the ranks of people who have had their dream pets show up! Nana was really our nurse, back then, because all our neighbours had one though we really were too poor to afford such a luxury - but my father wanted to be like everyone else anyway, so he brought Nana the Newfoundland to us. Isn't she adorable?

She's even got a frilly white nurse's cap, it's so sweet. She had the best knack for knowing how to treat coughs too!

I also think my dreams have ended, at least for now. I ended up with a daughter who is absolutely lovely, and she'll get to see Neverland for herself as well. It makes me think if she's out there somewhere, which is odd, because I don't have a daughter now so I'd probably never know.

I cannot believe it's May already!

Work on the nursery school should be finished by the end of June so I can sort out a summer programme for any kids I take on from July! I'm so excited!

In these new dreams, I seem to have married Smee at some point. I'm really very unsure how to feel about that.

Also I swear, since I've started dreaming, ticking clocks are causing my eye to twitch more and more. It can't be possible that clocks have gotten louder, which means I must be noticing them more. Hardly very pleasant.

I’m excited to be donning the bunny ears this weekend to read Easter themed stories to the children at Gray’s Books. Bring your kids down for fun activities and storytime!

I’m trying to convince Maddie that she likes her cute little Easter costume but she’s having none of it right now.

Well I've finally got Dior off to sleep and I find myself with some free time, so I decided I would try and post on here. So I was thinking of learning a new skill, anyone got any hobbies or skills they would recommend I try a course in?

Maddie and I got asked to be in a magazine for an article about female businesswomen and their pets. It was lots of fun and we got a super new picture :D

Wow, I can't believe I made it past this week. I didn't think a birthday party would be so hard to plan and pull off. We had to move it inside because of the weather but I think it was still pretty nice. It looked really nice too, before the party. Just to show off what I pulled off here is the before picture.

Well it appears as though I am now free of the enforced attachment to my new friend Bella. I must say it has been rather pleasant meeting her and her family, even though the circumstances were not ideal.

I am going to miss little Nessie a lot, Bella and Edward please remember me when you need a babysitter.

Moving into my new place took longer than I thought it would. Especially since I have a total of 3 pieces of furniture.

I'm starting to get a bit of a bump under my shirt now. Thinking I should invest in maternity wear? Or not yet? I'm kind of excited to be a huge, pregnant lady, but so many websites that I read say "wait as long as you can before switching to stretchy pants"....

Jury's still out on this one.

Billy and I are going to Pride in LA on the weekend of the sixth. We were gonna go to San Francisco again, which was where we met last year, but it turns out that this year it's the same weekend that we'll be in Scotland for Zelda's wedding. So we're gonna do LA and have just as much fun as San Fran.

We'd love it if anyone else wants to join us.

I think I've lost my phone. This is inconvenient. Also it's Cinco de mayo. Holidays with good food should basically always be celebrated.

I haven't had any odd dreams in a while. I'm not sure if this is concerning or a relief but it's making me paranoid of what's to come.

I was sad to hear about Bob Hoskins this morning. Who Framed Roger Rabbit has always been one of my favorite movies. It was one of the movies I used to watch over and over again when I was younger. Even now, I could put it on and know almost all the lines. In fact, I think I may watch it this weekend.

It's things like, this, that infuriate me.

People are allowed to do whatever they want to their houses. I think it is adorable and I give them props for wanting to be different. I understand wanting to keep the place looking historical, but it's just whimsy. The curmudgeon-y old man in the video just need to go away and suck it up. Stop sticking your nose into other people's business.

It appears my parents are coming to visit next month. The last time they traveled out was when I graduated from MIT, they've certainly never been as far as California. I suspect I'll have to come up with various ways to keep them entertained, too. If anyone has any suggestions I would certainly be forever grateful.

I'm having a really wonderful time writing my next novel. Who knew mermaids would open such interesting doors to fantastical worlds. Only about half-way through and I'm constantly being surprised by my characters and the twists and turns of the plot... it's great. Really enjoying it right now.

So long, and thanks for all the fish. <3

In honor of this craziness being over and everyone who fought against the orcs and trolls or whatever the hell was out there I would like to extend this offer:

FREE MEAL AT GRANNY'S - just mention Valar to your waiter/waitress and your meal will be on the house. It's the least I can do for everyone on this network.

And I just want to say that I am so glad I can go outside once again. I hate being cooped up for too long. My birthday is coming up next week (!!) and I've been trying to come up with some fun ideas of what to do for it, so at least I was able to get some of that accomplished.

But now I have to work extra hard with my new trainer for my new movie role since I ate way too many sweets during this. Stress eating is not okay.

I have been fortunate enough to find a nice job at a local elementary school here in Anaheim. I'm currently teaching 5th grade and while most of my students are wonderful, I cannot believe the behavior some of them show! I've been a nanny in the past and have never allowed any of my charges, regardless of their age, to utter a word of vulgarity! I can only imagine these children pick it up from home or their schoolmates, but why must they be taught these words at such a young age?

And don't even get me started on their use of technology. Is it really necessary for a ten year old to have an iPhone that they try and sneak texts during class? Who are they texting??

Well, this country is very dirty! I made a stop at Chicago, Pittsburgh, and finally LA and every airport I arrived at was filthy! With so many persons moving back and forth between states and cities, I would think there would be better hygiene for their guests.

Apparently I'm wrong in that fact as my new flat is not quite up to my standards. There was dust on the mantel and it had this particular smell of...well, age. But not to worry! Once I set to cleaning, I'm sure it will be practically perfect.

So! I must make my apologies for not introducing myself straightaway! My name is Mary Poppins and I have just come to this god forsaken wonderful place from London England.

Anakin decided to surprise me with a puppy for Christmas! This is Artoo and he's a Pomsky (mix of a Pomeranian and a Husky) and absolutely adorable!

I may or may not have run outside in jeans at a t-shirt and made snow angels out of sheer joy at seeing a ridiculous amount of snow. And I may have gotten into a brief snowball fight with some of the kids in the building on my way back in.

If you were waiting on Jewelry from me, I'm sorry to say that your commissions will be running a little late. I've gotten a few done, but trying to work with beads and wire and gem cutting is a lot harder when you've got a damaged cornea.

Eyepatches aren't a good look for me. I'm glad that this should heal up fairly quickly. Everything should be done before Christmas, though. I'm just making much slower progress right now.

Starting a new job is weird, but good. Science teacher sounds weird, and yet, I like the idea. Science teacher at a University, teaching both normal and awesome classes? That sounds even better. Got to meet staff soon, and start settling in for the January semester when I start teaching.

Somehow, despite everything that has happened, I feel like things are better now than they have ever been.

Since I cannot cook to save my life - beyond the basics anyway - and I really don't want to go home to the awkward silent meal with my mother that would await me I decided to order in food and bring it to the children's ward for the little kiddies who are unable to spend Thanksgiving at home.

It's been an incredible experience - they are so sweet and it's wonderful to see them all smile. Storytime later and before that some gentle games. I can't help thinking this is really what it should all be about.
