It’s been a rough Thanksgiving here at the witch hovel! We all got sick and/or are recovering from being sick. Of course, yours truly couldn’t get the recovering thing down.  A visit to the doctor revealed bronchitis and possible pneumonia.

I have to take it easy for a couple more days, and since I don’t work on the comic in advance, that means that there will be no comics this week. I hope to be good and rested by next week, when I return with comics so stunningly great that you will say, “WOW! She should get sick more often!”

In the meantime, if you need a fun comic fix, please check out the other comics in the Spiderforest network by using the navigation bar at the top of this page, or checking out the other fun comics I have listed in the blogroll in the right margin.

WitchyTech.com was a site I created to share that wonder with others, in fact. But I find much of the world takes these wonders for granted, or are so intimidated by modern advances they stay far away from knowing too much about them. The video below was shared by a friend and I just laughed out loud. It describes perfectly what I’m talking about.


Louis CK WIth Conan Oct 2, 2008 –

How does this relate to Magic of Witchy’s World? Well, magic in the comic’s universe is seen pretty much the same way. Everyone is used to it being around, so no one blinks at a crystal ball for a computer monitor or household appliances being used as transportation. There’s not a lot of amazement that the universe can be manipulated to make wonderful and not-so-wonderful things happen…it happens every freakin’ day to all of us!

The *real amazing magic* in both worlds is stuff like loving people, people loving you back, dogs, friendship, kindness toward and consideration from your fellow human beings and other planet dwellers. No one needs to look to magicians or mediums or hypnotists or dentists to work that kind of magic.

After reading this, I hope you take a moment today to appreciate that we’re living in the future! Imagine yourself as a child glimpsing the things you come into contact with today. (I’m CARRYING A PHONE around! It’s like Dick Tracy‘s wrist communicator!!)

I also hope you take a moment everyday to acknowledge and bask in the *real amazing magic* around you. Even on your absolute worst day, it’s there somewhere waiting for you to see it.

Of course, it was the frosting that everyone raved over!

During the Dropped Cake storyline, a reader named JoanH told a story about a dropped cake in her family. It was made more of tragedy because the cake was frosted with her mother’s MOCHA BUTTERCREAM FROSTING, the story was funny but I wanted that recipe!

JoanH kindly posted it for us all here. I am making a special post today to say it truly is “pure sugar bomb and SOOO tasty!” as described.

THANK YOU, JoanH for sharing that recipe! We all loved it.

(If any of you out there try it, please lets us know in the comments below!

(Kind of like “educational” shows turn my children’s attention off.)

Since my (annual) resolution is to lose 50lbs, I would like to find something healthy to snack on while reading or computing that I actually WANT.

We got a free sample of Today’s Farm Freeze-dried Strawberries over the weekend.  Hubby took them to work to snack on at his desk  I just received an ICQ from him saying he LOVED them.  I told him to order a case as  I would like to try them (and if I don’t like them, I know he will eat them.)

Does anyone have any suggestions? Or better yet, what do YOU snack on when you feel peckish? Do you find you always want a snack when you are doing certain things (reading, watching TV, on the computer, drawing, etc.)?
