I’ve added a few things to miaouphoto’s cafepress. Some ornaments, and I will be adding some shirts and the sort later this afternoon.

the size of golfballs. That.. was pretty cool. It’s so very pretty out right now.. I need to throw the battery on the charger and go outside in an hour.

Yesterday we were remarking on how lovely it was for the last day of November. It almost seemed balmy as we went out to dinner with Marc down at the Oak. We noticed early this morning, that it was raining.. but that it COULD have been light snow, by the way it looked in the lamplight.

Well.. it was snow. I had to go out this am. I walked. It’s funny how 5 minutes can change your attitude. I went out, all bundled up, looking at the snow, thinking aww yay snow! it’s so pretty.. look at the duckies playing in the snow. And let me tell you… the cutest thing I’ve seen in a while (even cuter than the sweet kitty in the window I saw yesterday at the pet store!), are itty bitty squirrel prints. About 5 minutes into my 10 minute walk, my hair was sopping wet, as it is not a fluffy snow.. but more of a I’m barely not rain anymore sort of snow. My pant legs were soggy, my toes were quite cold. I took care of my errand and then started home. More cold, much more wet, as I was walking INTO the wind. The only thing that kept me from being totally miserable, was watching the kiddies at the bus stop waiting to go to school, making snowmen with what they could roll into snowballs. They had almost a 2 foot snowman, and there was no grass on this one spot of buddy’s yard*L*

• The overwhelming majority of people with HIV – some 95 per cent of the global total – live in the developing world. That proportion is set to grow even further as infection rates continue to rise in countries where poverty, conflict, poor health systems and limited resources for prevention and care fuel the spread of the virus.

• Half of new infections are occurring in young people (15-24 year olds), who constitute over one-quarter of those living with HIV and AIDS worldwide. Young girls are particularly at risk, with 75% of young people living with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa being women. There are an estimated 15 million children worldwide who have lost one or both parents to AIDS.
