I'm so proud. Some of you may remember the pumpkin I made for Halloween which looked like an M&M. Well, I sent it off to the M&M web site, and they put it up on their scrapbook page. Granted, they seem to put up anything people send them, but that's not the point. The point is, my pumpkin is on the M&M site. Wanna see?

That page may change as they add new stuff, so if you go there and don't see a spiffy pumpkin, then click on the next page or 30. It will be there somewhere.

Adopt a wolf and other animals

Want to do something rather cool? Of course you do. You read my ramblings, so we know you're already incredibly cool, not to mention smart.

Heh.

Anyway, Care2.com has a rather nifty thing where you can sponsor a wolf, polar bear, dolphin, and a few others... and you won't even have to clean up after them. Check it out:

We did this for my sister-in-law, who absolutely adores wolves, for her Christmas present this year. She'll get a certificate of adoption and a plush wolf toy. You can get it in time for Christmas, so if you're looking for a gift which is unique and for a good cause, considering giving this one, and know you're doing something to help another in need.

It will be something your loved one will likely never forget, and is truly in the spirit of Christmas.

In other news...

While I'm here. I read a story today by Meghan O'Brien called Endgame. The description, taken from the Royal Academy of Bards: "Delaney, a self-confessed cad and commitment-phobe, meets a woman she shouldn't play. However, it's also the one woman she can't resist." It's alt (lesbian-themed), complete, and very well written. Remember to read the disclaimers first, as it deals with a sensitive subject.

I'm off to go cool down after the love scene I just read in that very story. A cold shower is definitely in order. Take care, all.
