I wrote today. And made massive quantities of food for Cole and his friends. I didn't burn the house down or give any of them a raging case of food poisoning (as far as I know) so I'm going to pat myself on the back ( Read more... )

I apologize to anyone reading this who loathes food posts, but this one is going to be about food.

jenah and her son came over yesterday and I decided to try out a chili recipe that had caught my fancy. I chopped up some onions (I HATE chopping onions), got the base going and went in for a taste ... umm. Oh.my.god. It was awful. Like, GAG! I made ( Read more... )

Here I am! Sticking to my plan on writing earlier in the day. Yay! The question I have for myself is ... What do I have to talk about this early in the morning? Huh ( Read more... )

Another book.
Book #66 - The Boomerang Clue by Agatha Christie - I thought this book was ... okay. It featured neither Poirot nor Miss Marple and I wasn't expecting that. I did like how the clues were very circular, but the conclusions that the two sleuths jumped to being always right? It was a little far fetched. It was still a fun read, but ( Read more... )

I went to the library today and picked up a few Agatha Christie books. I specifically tried to make sure that I hadn't read these before. Alas! They changed the name on one of them! Changed the name! I read it anyway.

Book #65 - What Mrs. McGillicuddy Saw! by Agatha Christie - AKA 4:50 from Paddington. First off, I hate when covers of books ( Read more... )

Where did August come from? Huh ( Read more... )

oddmonster, you are not allowed to get mad at me for zipping through these books. I'm killing time until the kiddies go back to school.

Book #61 - Sharper Than A Serpent's Tooth by Simon R. Green - This series is great as a re-read. All sorts of mad goings on and people being slaughtered left and right. They might have even deserved it. So, John's ( Read more... )

I'd like to share something monumental with everyone ... It was 20+ degrees cooler today than it was yesterday. MORE THAN 20 DEGREES! You might not think that's something beyond incredible until you've sat in 100+F degree heat one day and had to wear a sweater the next. I'm just ... *boggles*. We didn't even make it up to 80F today. Holy ( Read more... )

You know how yesterday I had no kids and I ended up watching nothing but kid friendly movies? Yeah. Tonight, both kids are here (Hailey can't stay away from her beloved dog!) and I'm trying to watch a horror-lite movie. It's rather difficult when I have to keep pausing it whenever they wander in. I really should have planned that better ( Read more... )
