Happy Birthday Rose Brier!
Just a quick post in honor of "the most awesome character so far" as one poster put it. :)
It's also the birthday of one of my sisters today: happy birthday Jessy! Like Rose, Jessy is funny, spunky, and adventurous, and although she doesn't have red hair, and her husband reminds me far more of Bear than of Fish, I've always told her she could be the heroine of a novel. She's expecting her first baby right now, so if you think of it, say a prayer for her and little Foo-foo! (as she calls him/her).

And Happy Birthday for Jessy. I'll definitely be praying for the baby.

Also happy birthday to your sister Jessy! First baby! How wonderful! :)
(You HAVE to tell us!!!)
You guys, you know what was so cool? On Halloween, my school had a Medieval Fest instead of a typical halloween party. (my school is so small, family run, etc, that it classifies as homeschooling, I think! Lol)
I have to say the medieval fest was my idea: after reading Waking Rose, with her Octoberfest and all, and with all my family at Christendom, having a blast there, I wanted fun at home! So we put together a wonderful fest, with wonderful chiffony-drapes hanging everywhere, and fall flowers, ivy strands, glittered stars, etc, EVERYWHERE! All of my class came in for the part: damsels in majestic purple gowns, a peasant in green and brown, a Queen, Robin Hood and Maid Marion, etc!!!! It was such fun! I came in last year's Eowyn costume (ie: the white gown with the brown vest that she wore when she was first introduced in the movie- with her hair down, the wind blowing, and the flag falling; the dress in that part, sleeves included!!!! Yeah!!!!!). So I was scowering my closet for decent shows with my best friend (another Fairytale novel fan!!!) when we brainstormed!!!
Yes, I know you guys guessed it! We went barefoot, in October. (Fish would be tisk, tisking at us, I know!) But we were running barefoot on the cold ground, just having an absolute blast!!!! All the adults thought we were nuts, but I knew you all would approve!
I had such a great time, Regina, thanks sooooooo much for the wonderful books, and the beautiful parts that i think all of us fans can relate to!!
So, I just wanted to tell Rose she has captured yet another boy's heart. (Hee, hee.) Just kidding, my bro hopes to become a priest! So say a prayer for his vocation if you will!
Thank you, Mrs. Doman, for such awesome books that both girls AND boys can enjoy!

P.S. Alyssa, sounds like your party was a blast!
A: For fear of making a mathematical mistake I'll regret, I don't think I will answer this question. Maybe I'll say, like all great characters, she's timeless! :)
Q: Regina, when is YOUR birthday????
A: Um, January 5th, and I'll be 38 years old in 2008.
Alyssa, I agree: your party sounds fantastic!
Mae, I'm delighted to have acquired another vocal male fan! (Most boys and men who like my books never write in to say so - guy thing) Definitely prayers.
Alyssa... wish I could have been there!
God Bless!
Mae, your brother sounds awesome. I'll pray for his vocation; I love priests.... :)
God Bless!
Alyssa, you're right! He is awesome! :))
I take it that you are an LOTR fan? I have always wanted to make a costume from that film-they had so many lovely ones.
Lady Rose- I made my costume. However, I got the pattern from Simplicity, which you can find in any of their pattern catalogues. (Wal-Mart or Jo-anne's Crafts would have it, definitely. :) Oh, and I love St. Rose of Lima, too. :)
Mae- You're welcome. :) That's what Catholics are supposed to do, right? :) Besides, my own little brother wants to become one, too, so pray for him and we'll be even. Lol
Aubrey- Yes!!!! Lol, I am such a huge LOTR fan! If you are too, check out Regina's Small pax blog button- someone drew a picture entitled "Strider", which I happen to love!!! (That's too bad about the lack of kindred spirits in your area....)
Thanks, you all, for commenting! :)
