I chose mine cuz everyone who knows me knows that I call my crew the ladybugs... that started 5 yrs ago when there were only 4 baby ladies in the house, I hated calling kids or their names, so I called them ladies, I expected them to act like ladies in public and it was a nice gentle reminder to them... well I got quite some looks in stores shopping around other women and I commanded the ladies to "go!". So I figured they were sometimes ladies and sometimes bugs and ladybugs were once concidered lucky!(until the asian beetle arrived!) So they are my Ladybugs, I am the mom, so LadybugsMom stuck at chuch and such and here that didnt work with out the 6 cuz I have 6 now...How will I change that to 7 in March??

| owwlady is because I've worked out at Old World Wisconsin for six years. Old World is one of the nation's largest outdoor museums of immigrant farm life in the 1800's. I dress as a lady of the 1800's, sometimes a bustle dress, sometimes a work dress and apron, and sometimes a hoop dress, and work in one of the historic buildings greeting and informing visitors about life in the 1800's. We work in 3rd person so I can relate to things from this time period. It's a great job (except on 95 degree horribly humid days). I love dressing up and working with artifacts. We cook on authentic woodstoves, make soap, spin, and do what the ladies of the day would do in their everyday lives. Couldn't work there this year because of the gas prices. I live an hour away and being paid by the state historical society doesn't mean a whole lot. If you're ever in SE WI May 1-Oct 31, look us up. We're in Eagle WI. |

I just read these posts for the first time tonight, so funny how everybody chose their names, lovin it!! I used to be Lareynadetodo which translated (loosely) is queen of EVERYTHING, figgered out fast that wasn't true so have been LareynadeNADA for a long time (Queen of NOTHING) Figured if my three daughters were the princesses they think they are then I MUST be queen
I was Country before Country was COOL!!!! |

Oh, Jan, that's just outside of Kettle Moraine, isn't it?? My husband and his best friend bike at Kettle a couple times a year...maybe I can tag along & take my kids to Old World while they're riding! Oooh, how cool! I absolutely LOVE living history museums like this...there's one not too far from us, in Aurora, IL, called Blackberry Farm. It's a Pioneer era museum, and sooo much fun!
Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention, Jan! I don't know if I ever would have known about it otherwise!  |

| Heather, If you're going yet this year, Old World closes on Oct 31st. I don't have the schedule with me, I'm on my Mom's computer, but I'll get back to you because they have a halloween thing for the kids. Once you go, you'll get hooked. Jan |

| I was re-reading "Nora's Stars" - a children's book, that always makes me smile, she hides the stars in her blanket, and then the sky is dark so she heaves them back into the sky......then I remembered the joy of the night sky when it's REALLY dark and the stars are twinkling. Unfortunately, in NH it usually means it's 20 below! The colder the weather, the more beautiful the stars. |

I chose Utah Farmgirl because I live in Utah and am a Farmgirl at heart. Fairly straightforward. I usually use "Petreader" which is my website. I've been a pet psychic for 30 years. But Patricia, which is my name, is fine, too. My family calls me Patty and my husband calls me Baby Boo which is pretty funny since we're old (late 50s). I really enjoy reading the origins of screen names. Glad you asked!
Happy Wishes! |

My screen name always draws this question & I meant to explain it in my intro post...
Someone once jokingly called me the Sanctuary Goddess, and my then-husband quipped "no, she's the sanctuary WITCH!" Soon after, I lost the husband, but kept the name. It fits, since my spiritual views tend toward the pagan...
