1. Arguing has been suspended, peace has returned, an outside adviser has been engaged for next week.

2. Had a blast meeting creative types over gelato and arts and crafts at the NaNoWriMo Kick Off in Center City.  I am delighted to finally be motivated toward something I've felt passionate about my

Gross. "Why yes, I *am* dressed up as Jack Skeleton for Halloween! Only I celebrate it EVERYDAY."

What also makes me mad is that cool/fun/exciting clothes are still oriented towards the thinner end of of the body sphere. Sometimes they'll make clothes like the stuff pictured above for larger sizes, but they hang badly because the original creation is made for size 0 girls, making it nigh impossible for size 14 girls to be chic right off the rack. And also pushing girls towards the thin because it becomes harder to find clothes when you're larger.

I swear to grod I'm going to learn how to sew in 2009. I'll start a label called Chunky Thighs.

Also, toffee is delicious and not-complicated like pralines evidently are. You should just make that instead. And send me some :) I just discovered an awesome-possum book of recipes called "The Ex-Boyfriend Cookbook," my girlfriends & I made the cream cheese brownies from it and they have that second-day special quality that turns brownies from cake-like to fudge-like texture. Nom.

Well, the recipe is for "Pecan Candy." It is almost exactly like a praline recipe except it only calls for powdered sugar.

This year for Xmas I want to make something specifically from a recipe in the archives. Which doesn't mean it won't be a complete train wreck! If it works, I'll surely send you some!

*dances* I have a fabulous idea! I bake cookies with my girlfriends each year for Christmas, want to send each other delicious edible care packages?
