Wow, two more days of November and NaBloPoMo. Posting every day has been easier than I remembered from last time. Not all of my entries have been great, but those still count! Last week, daybreak777 did a Delurking Day, which reminded me that I haven't posted one of those in a long time. So, I'd love for everyone to answer these questions, even if I've ( Read more... )

1. Today I took a deep breath and braved Publix for pre-Thanksgiving grocery shopping. It wasn't too bad on Tuesday afternoon, but the portents of holiday insanity were visible. For the hell of it, I decided to attempt my first-ever pumpkin pie as a hostess gift for my friends. I bought supplies for two pies, so I can use the first as a trial ( Read more... )
