Tasty Tuesday
Spring is here! Grocery store had organic raspberries, so I thought they’d go perfectly with whipped cream. And since I had some organic chocolate ice cream on hand…

Mountainstage
Sunday night Mountainstage came to Morgantown. Which is always awesome.
What was even more awesome was that the Cowboy Junkies played. Yes, the Fountains of Wayne were good (although the guitarist was trashed (annoyingly so)) but… The Cowboy Junkies!
They played “200 More Miles”, “Working on a Building”, “To Love Is to Bury”, and “Blue Moon (reprised)”
Yea, [...]

Sunday Flower Pr0n
Despite the forecast we had sun Saturday. I didn’t see a lot of it, but I did get out in the (squelchy wet) yard and check on my plants and take some pictures.

Down But Not Out
I’m starting to feel overwhelmed by my depression.
Stupid depression.
I’m going to try and stay offline today and see how that goes. Not sure if or when I’ll get back on Sunday, but I’ll probably make a couple Twitter updates over the weekend that you can catch in the left sidebar if you don’t Twitter.
Hope [...]

Friday Cat Blogging
Normally Kat is the more photogenic of the two, but this week Kit actually sat still long enough for me to get a couple decent pictures.
Here is his furriness looking out over his domain.
You can almost make out the bird feeder hanging from the porch. It’s one of four feeders we have to keep the [...]

LOOT for ME!
You know how special I am? I got loot from Paris!
Ooh la la!
And even better, you know what kinda loot?
CHOCOLATE!
Gina, you’re the best wife EVER!
Read On
If you’ve been around here for any length of time, you’ve probably noticed that I love to read. And even that understates my relationships with books.
I started reading at the age of four (apparently because I’d memorized “Green Eggs and Ham”). I don’t remember a time when I couldn’t read. I don’t even remember being [...]

Word Association
Everyone feel free to join in.
I skipped the gimme of “cow” since that might take this game in a somewhat obscene direction.
Ready?

What’s Up? Not Michelle.
So I finally got into see the happy doctor today. (This was a rather long and convoluted process that involved getting an appointment with my regular doctor, and then eventually having him get me an appointment with the happy doctor.)
She’s increased my meds by half again, and we’re going to see how I do over [...]
Tasty Tuesday: Chicken Wraps
While Grandmom was gone, Michael and I enjoyed the foods that Grandmom can’t eat. One of our favorites is chicken wraps.
This recipe came as a modification of one my my favorite lunches at the hospital: Wrap day. Unfortunately, they use fried chicken breast nuggets, which are not particularly healthy. These get more of their heat [...]

Spring Flowers Gone Wild
OK, not wild exactly, but I’m enjoying photographing the spring flowers. There’s something about the young stems and flowers of early spring plants that is so delicate, which is in direct opposition to the fact that these plants and flowers have to survive late snows, frosts, and occasional freezing temperatures.
Sunday afternoon was beautiful at the [...]

Sunday Flower Pr0n
Here are some pictures from my yard–things are starting to bud.
I have two bleeding heart plants, an all white and the more typical pink and white. This is the pink and white, which seems to like it’s location and is now spreading. Hoorah! More plants! For free!

Grandmom Exchange
We met my aunt at Hancock today for the Grandmom exchange. Hancock is about halfway betwen our houses, and Hepburn’s is a nice place to meet, since I can buy fresh apples or whatever they happen to have in stock, as well as apple butter, jams, apple sauce, honey, and many other local products.
They also [...]
Happy Spring!
Here are some botanical type pictures from our trip to the arboretum.

The World Is a Strange Place
We saw some strange things on a walk at the arboretum on Thursday.
Ah yes, the infamous “utility corridor” habitat. They’ve been trying to increase the range of that one.

My Life Flows On
This song has been running though my head all day. Perhaps you’ll take solace from it as I did.
Don’t Forget To Say I Love You
Yesterday, a friend (and a member of the [perhaps metaphorical] group the UCF) suffered a unexpected and terrible loss.
Instead of hanging out here, please take a moment to tell those you love how much they mean to you.

Friday Cat Blogging… Early Edition
I don’t know about you, but I need some cuteness in my life right now.
Now for Something Completely Different
So, despite the fact that IE sucks, otherwise the new theme seems to be working well.
If you’re curious how it worked, what you’re looking at is something like this:
Here’s what goes in the index page:
<div id="wrap">
<div id="content">
Posts go here
<div id="bottom">
<p>This is text at the bottom of the page. Maybe. Maybe [...]
