My pumpkins from Halloween (the ones I didn't carve and have been meaning to bake up into something yummy) are officially dead.  *sigh* I even found some good recipes last November for pumpkin puree, too... oh well.  There's always next year, right?  And now I can finally have that corner of my kitchen table back.  Once I disinfect it.  I haven't ( Read more... )

 Last week when I was languishing at home with that nasty head cold that rendered it impossible for me to answer phone calls all day (and week for that matter), rhb sent me a link.  It was for a page on dealnews.com alerting those on the lookout for a good deal that DSW (my favorite shoe store) was allowing you to use several pretty good promo ( Read more... )

First things first, the A key on my laptop is being fritzy as of late, so I apologize for any missing a's in this post.  It's really annoying.  I think there may be a crumb or something underneath it interfering with its proper function, but alas, I have no compressed air and I'm kind of afraid to pop it off just in case I can't get it back on ( Read more... )

Note to self: NEVER look two weeks ahead on your calendar.  Bad idea.  Life is nicer if it stays February for a long, long while.  (Now, if it stayed the three-day weekend for a long, long while, that would be really nice. *sigh*)

Anyway.  I should stop whining and go to class.  Maybe I'll write a real post soon.  Sorry to disappoint all my loyal ( Read more... )

I think I just broke my old record for sleeping.  Because I'm pretty sure I just spent 16 hours in bed.  But maybe I should back up a little bit ( Read more... )

I really  really really love Fridays.  I wish I was done with class by noon every day.  (I suppose it would be more possible if I were willing to start earlier, but honestly, who would willingly take a class before 9am?)  I mean, it's only 5:00, and since class ended, I've already...

Evidently ballroom dance lends me an innate sense of balance when it comes to riding horses.  Or so I am told.  I went horseback riding for the first time in my life today.  It was an interesting experience.  I guess technically I was riding a pony, not a horse, but it looked exactly like the horses my sister and her friends were riding, so I will ( Read more... )

*sigh*  I was doing so well taking care of myself.  I really don't know what happened ( Read more... )
