    1. Cro, I first saw it when my son posted it as his facebook status. I copied and pasted the definition from dictionary.com!

  3. I had no idea this was first heard on The Simpson's! That's wild. And I hope your pieces pick up on selling --

  4. So far I'm so relieved there is winter this year. I'm also enjoying it.

    Last night I got to play with my Haitian goddaughter, look at her dad's art and dance with her mom!

    Love, C.
