Cursed

Many of you would probably say, "Well, I saw THAT coming!"

You might even give me the dreaded, "I TOLD you so!"

You see, for the past many days, I have been suffering from hives.  It is a terrible fate, yes, but I am thankful that it's not something worse.

That's not to say that I've not had enough of them.  That's not to say that they've not made me a tad crazy.

I've been trying to figure out the cause of The Hives.  They feel Epic and Biblical.  They cover pretty much every area of my body (except my torso, knock on wood).  Even my face has not escaped and is swelled to about 40 times it's normal and actual size.

OK, that might be an exaggeration, but whatever.

I am itchy, red, and bumpy and swollen.  In short, I am Monster, akin, I think, to Mary Shelley's monster in Frankenstein.  Well, except that Monster was Super Smart.  Unfortunately, my brain has not gained any size or power.  It is still just the same brain.

Which is perhaps why I didn't notice until today that my Hives and Swollen Faceness started about the same time that we excluded A Certain Someone from the new blog banner. 

Just so we are all on the same page, here, what I am saying is that I believe I have been cursed by Someone who may look familiar to you:

Oh, don't let that Sweet Smile fool you.  Don't be taken in by that Beautiful Eye.  And the Dewlap?  Let's not talk about the Dewlap.  Or the Super Cute Arms.

This Rabbit Has Cursed Me!!!   It may sound Crazy, but it's not.

Really, it's not.

Won't you help to stop my suffering?  Will you help to extract me from my Benedryl Drug Haze?

It's up to you to convince the Blisschick to add a Zoe to the banner!

IT'S UP TO YOU!!!!

A Fresh Start

Ordinary Enchantment has a New Look!

(Before I go on, let me say this to you:  PLEASE don't mention to Miss Zoe that She has been left out of the new banner.  I know that She will notice eventually, but I'd rather try to get through just a couple more hours, so if you could just keep that on the down low....I would appreciate it.)

A couple of weeks ago, we announced here that a Year of Savoring was to begin.  It's a year to try New Things.  A year to work on new projects or resurrect old ones as long as they are FUN and I feel like working on them.  A year to enjoy what life has to offer without worrying what it will get me or where I am going.

It is a Year to Enjoy Life.

The Chick thought that in order to mark that Year, The Rabbits and I needed a New Blog Banner to celebrate.  A Banner that represented some of the things I like to do or like to have around.  And so, she made us a new banner and changed the look of our blog a bit.

50% of the Rabbits in the Lilypad* agree that this Blog Banner is perfection!  Let me tell you, it is hard to get 50% Rabbit Approval.

The other 50% of the Rabbits in the Lilypad have not exactly seen the New Banner....but...well, you know.

Wait!  Are you suggesting that those Fresh Willow Balls** are some kind of a distraction or bribe!?!?  Certainly not!  Miss Zoe has simply been busy and has not looked a the Banner yet, that's all.

Ahem.

At any rate, besides the new banner, you'll notice the Cool Star Background and some tabs forming at the top-- so far just two:  one called Lilypad! and one called Lilypad Residents.  More tabs to come later, which will include one about Sparkle Pond and one about Art that is Made at the Lilypad.  Keep your eyes peeled for those.

In the meantime, we will try to forget about the fact that there is a Gnome in the banner instead of... Miss Zoe.  We will try to forget it.  We will try to live life in spite of that fact.  Or until "someone" changes the banner.

We will try to live if we are able.  Are you able?

* Miss Zoe would tell you that this is a faulty percentage if you consider the fact that She is the Senior  Rabbit and therefore gets 66% of any Rabbit Rom Vote, with Blueberry getting only 33% until She earns a bit more seniority.
