Hestia Homeschool for Young Wild Women

http://www.livejournal.com/users/seshathawk/

Visited the Ridimans yesterday. We're going to be gypsies for Halloween and get together later to put together costumes. Elyse changed her mind about Costume Gallery. Awesome visit with Ridimans, where we talked for two hours about everything but Halloween costumes--mostly Michael Moore and Fahrenheit 9/11, and American Girl dolls. Met their new pet skunk, Lily. Now I want a pet skunk. She is so pretty and sweet and fat (and descented, of course). I want one! Oh, and we decided on starting a writing group--hooray!--which will be in the beginning of November.

We had very lively conversations with Rachael and Weesie.  Weesie is very amusing and has a caustic wit about the changes made to American Girl Dolls--a subject that she feels passionately about.

We spent time trying to convince Rachael to watch any of Michael Moore's Movies before making a snap judgement on him. How can you decide if you've never even seen one? Furthermore, the reason she doesn't like him is about some comments she read somewhere he made at the Oscars--she didn't even see the Oscars....Oh, Rachael, Rachael, Rachael.....stubborn young woman!  ROFL  I think if Michael Moore made an expose about the dastardly changes to American Girl Dolls since they were bought out you would like him!

We loved Fahrenheit 9/11....the whole family watched (or at least the older ones did. Shelby slept at my breast).  The girls talked back to the documentary the whole time, and were appalled at the devastation we have delivered to Iraq...the scene where a bereaved Iraqi citizen pulls a toddlers body frozen in rigor mortis from the back of a truck brought me to quick tears, and the girls were so upset. Tabitha said bluntly that George Bush is a murderer.
