Wicked Word Wednesday

Today's Wicked Word is:

LullaBye


Another favorite of wicked witches.
A lullabye is not to be confused with a lullaby. Whereas a lullaby is used to soothe a child to sleep, a lullabye is a siren song used to lure children away from the safety of their homes in order to capture them.

In the following clip, you will witness lullabye in use:

Homecoming

Saturday Matt went to his first Homecoming dance.

He and his date looked wonderful if I do say so myself. We took him to her house and they all left from there....some sort of double date.


I know he had fun because he answered questions using more than one syllable.....

Monday's Maladies...

Avanti "Feeling Green?" Sick Frog Get Well Card

















Welcome to week 3 of Monday's Maladies!




"Inflammatory Howl Disease"


This disease affects werewolves. Very much like strep throat, the best thing to do is rest your voice. Unfortunately, when a full moon rises, werewolves cannot resist the urge to howl, which leads to a severely sore throat and irritability.

"Pnemoania"

This affects new witches and warlocks. Symptoms are similar to what humans call the 'flu.'
There is general stiffness and soreness of the body which leads to loud moaning by the witch or warlock who is ill.

"Cowllergies"


This is seasonal and related to hay fever. Those affected will involuntarily conjure a cow with each sneeze.
Although it is not considered dangerous to the witch, it IS dangerous to those nearby as there is no control over where the cow will land. Therefore, one needs to use caution so as not to get squished.


"Batulism"

Similar to Felineicity. This typically affects those witches and warlocks who turn themselves into bats frequently. Since it affects the sinuses and ears, Batulism impairs the sonar used to fly while in bat form. This causes erratic flying and crashes, which are often fatal. Batulism has been known to cross contaminate into vampire clans.

Frankie, a blankie and a Toy Drop too...

Meet Frankie, I made him for my Halloween tree

the secret to his head? one of those caps from a soda bottle! I just stuffed it up inside and his head has that big forehead...hard to see in this photo though.

Here is my teeny Halloween tree, if you click on the photo, you can see it better.



I have a coworker expecting in December so I made her this blanket. I think she'll like it...especially since she picked out the yarn!


I made a gnome for this month's toy drop but Kaela refused to part with him.
Apparently, I'm supposed to make an entire group of gnomes for our mantel this Christmas! Anyone know what a group of gnomes is called?

Anyway, we dropped this little mushroom instead.


we crept into the local library and dropped it in the fairytale section before getting caught...



there were plenty of kids there so I'm sure it found a good home.

Monday's Maladies...

Avanti "Feeling Green?" Sick Frog Get Well Card
Welcome to week 2 of Monday's Maladies, a forum in which we define illnesses and diseases contracted by witches and other wicked creatures.

"Feebles"

When a witch contracts Feebles, he or she becomes despondent, and loses self confidence which is a very dangerous condition. If left untreated, it can turn into Alfrightus.

"Alfrightus"

The advanced form of Feebles.
Similar to phobias in humans but in a more extreme form. With Alfrightus, witches fear EVERYTHING, including themselves which can cause suicidal tendancies. Cases do not end in suicide however, due to the affected witch being AFRAID of suicide.

"Hooping Cough"


This affects the young. When a coughing fit occurs, involuntary flipping occurs...thus, the term "Hooping."
Unfortunately, during hooping fits, children end up bonking their heads quite a bit, leading to bruising.
Hooping Cough has been linked to diminished mental capacity so it is considered a very serious disease.

"Salmanella"

A disease contracted only by wizards. Once contracted, a wizard's skin will turn a lovely shade of pink which can lead to depression. There is no known cause and the cure rate is quite low. There have been breakouts at Wizard conventions. When this occurs, the disease is referred to as Salmenella.

"Inflewinza"

Inflewinza actually affects a witch's broomstick. When not properly cleaned and maintained, a broomstick can develop inflewinza.
During this state, the broom can only fly indoors which will lead to disaster because you do not know the broom has contracted the illness until you hop on for a ride.

Fortunately, inflewinza is quite rare due to the fact that brooms can tolerate a fair amount of dirt, debris and neglect.
