I can’t believe Thanksgiving break is almost over.
Yesterday we had temperatures in the upper 40s and got the outside Christmas lights hung. Mind you, I won’t turn them on until next weekend, but we got them up while it was relatively warm.
Thanks goodness.
Today we made a run to Lowes to get birdseed and a [...]
So I’ve been complaining for awhile that I need a new stereo receiver.
Mind you, I love my current receiver. It’s a Sony ES series and has been an excellent receiver for years.
(Yes of course it’s tuned to the local public radio station.)
However.
It’s at least 18 years old, if not 19. So it doesn’t have [...]
When Michael got his new cell phone (an Instinct) in August, and we changed our cell phone plan to allow texting and data, I was insanely jealous and wanted a new phone. But alas, but I have to wait until December 1st, lest I pay a zillion dollars instead of pennies for a new phone. [...]
Better late than never.
OH MY GOD! It’s a GIANT FURRY SLUG!
And then, suddenly, she’s normal sized.
Yes, it’s WVU vs Pitt!
BTHOP!
Ten years ago Michael and I were married.
Saying yes to him was the best decision I ever made in my life.
Today’s word is obviously for John Scalzi.
chawbacon \CHAW-bay-kun\ noun
: bumpkin, hick
Did you know?
“Chaw” is an alteration of “chew” that is still used in some English dialects, especially in rural areas. Cured pork, or bacon, was a staple of some rural folks’ diets in [...]
Nothing like trying to shoot photos from a moving car with dirty windows.
Sun is in the east on these two pictures–we left the house around 8:30 AM. This meant the sun was at a moderately annoying angle for half the trip.
It was about 26 when we left the house, so the trees were frosted over, [...]
If you’ve only seen WV on a map, you may wonder why it takes so long to get from one place to another. After all, in DC and other urban settings you have to contend with traffic. But this is WV, and we don’t have hour long traffic jams (even football game Saturdays in Morgantown [...]

Paying off our car loan
Chocolate
Our house

Snow
My cats–most of the time
Down comforters
My new camera and printer
Michael

I can’t keep my speeches straight, I can’t keep my amendments straight, and I don’t know what the public good is. :) Other than that, I’m golden.
Take the Civic Literacy Quiz yourself.
I’m going to print out the [...]
If you wanna know why it’s for the UCF, click through and read the alt/title text on the image.
I discovered that when you take your (actual) teeth out of your mouth in sections, they’re much easier to brush.
So Thanksgiving is Thursday, and for the first time in awhile, I won’t be making Thanksgiving dinner.
I’m actually saddened by this, because I like making big special meals. Yes, I make Michael clean and stuff the turkey but everyone else likes turkey, and I always use the leftovers in turkey pie, so it’s okay.
But [...]
What was the last book you bought?
The last new book that came into the house was Fables Volume 11, by Bill Willingham et al.
My last Amazon order was The Snack Thief by Andrea Camilleri, Lucifer’s Shadow by David Hewson, Hellboy Vol. 8: Darkness Calls by Mike Mignola
Name a book you have read MORE than once
A [...]
It’s just one of those blue days I suppose.
My brain is muddled and my body is trying to convince me to curl up with a book and take a nap. Maybe after the next load of laundry.
So, as I’ve got nothing, I put forth the following: what’s your personal cure for the blues?
White broke the NCAA record for career yards rushing by a quarterback in leading the Mountaineers to a 35-21 victory over Louisville on Saturday. The senior ran for 200 yards and three touchdowns to give him 4,292 yards for his career, breaking the record of 4,289 set by former Missouri quarterback Brad Smith from 2002-05. [...]
My aunt & uncle are visiting, so no live blogging.
However…
1) They totally stole that touchdown from us
2) Pat White rocks
3) YEEEEEE HAAAAAW!!!!!
ADDENDUM the First:
Pat White
123 yards passing
204 Yards rushing
Pat White is now the all time leader for quarterback rushing!
Pat White rocks!
It would not be an exaggeration to say that I listen to the radio constantly.
I wake up to Morning Edition on WV public radio. I go to bed listening to the Real Jazz station on XM. At work I listen to jazz on WDUQ over my computer. When there is a WVU football game, I [...]
