Trick Or Treat!
We’ve lived here for 8 years, and today we got our first (and so far only) trick-or-treater.
We’ll ignore the fact that her parents had to drive half an hour to bring her, and just enjoy how adorable she is.

What I’ve Been Reading
Sometimes I get in the mood for a specific type of book. Recently, it’s been mysteries. But not cozies. Sorry cozy authors. My grandmother may love you, but you’re generally not my thing. I’d much rather have blood and guts and action. Kinda like the opposite of my life.
Anyway.
In my search for something I like, [...]

Something in the Water? Something in the Food?
Came across a very disturbing article today. Girls as young as 11 are being diagnosed with breast cancer. How surprising is this? According to the article, “Only about 7 percent of breast cancer cases occur in patients under the age of 40.”
That’s a really small incidence rate for a very large percentage of the population.
The [...]

You Keep Using That Search Term
I do not think it means what you think it means.

All by himself?
I just realized that my web host is only saving the top twenty search terms. Why on earth would I want just the top twenty? [...]

Tasty Tuesday: Cinnamon Rolls
I love cinnamon rolls. Of course, I love them with walnuts and cream cheese icing, which are Right Out for Grandmom, so we I made plain ones.
Which are still really good.
Cinnamon Rolls

3 1/2 cups white wheat flour
2 tsp yeast
3 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp dry milk

1 large egg plus water to make one cup [...]

That’s What You Think Is Offensive?
A post of Eric’s lead me to MSNBC’s “Most Offensive Costumes of 2009” and although one or two of them may have qualified as offensive, I thought most of them were actually hilarious.
I mean, a Bernie Madoff costume? That’s not offensive, that’s hilarious!
This on the other hand, is both offensive and hilarious. (NOTE: If you [...]

Sunday Flower Pr0n
We’ve apparently had the right amount of rain and perfect temperatures here for fall color in my yard.
Burning bush and sugar maple.
Sugar maple–my favorite tree in our yard.

Friday Cat Blogging
We got Kit by accident.
We’d gone to the Stonewall Jackson craft fail Labor Day weekend with my parents, and on the way home, my dad wanted to stop at a pet supply store in Clarksburg to check out their fish supplies.
Michael and I wandered around the store, and found in the back corner a [...]

Free to a Good Home: Dishes
When we got our Fiestaware dishes, I no longer have any need of our old dishes, which have been sitting waiting for me to do something with them.
They’re Mikasa and I’ve got plates, bowls, mugs etc, all in excellent condition.
If you know anyone in need of a set of dishes, send them my way.
Yes, I [...]

Tasty Tuesday: Pumpkin
I’m a big fan of pumpkin, and pumpkin pie is probably Michael favorite food, although it may be tied with peanut butter, so every year, I get pie pumpkins and cook them down for pies and various pumpkin goodies throughout the year
I picked up pumpkins several weeks ago, but didn’t get to cook them down [...]

Late and delicious breakfast, relaxed stroll, massage, and then a hot shower.
All Mondays should be like this. Hope yours is good, even if it’s not this fabulous.

Vacation Ho!
Despite the assurances of the Disney Express man at the airport, I am not “dazzled” by our hotel.
However, I’m didn’t come to be dazzled, I came to relax and eat. And the salmon I had for dinner was fabulous. So there you go.
Let’s hope tomorrow’s meals are just as good–and that I can get a [...]

Friday Cat Blogging
Once Michael and I moved to an apartment that allowed pets, I wanted to get a cat. So in 1998, on my birthday, we went outside the city and picked out Kat.
Now let’s let’s go back a couple decades…
On my 4th birthday, I had been playing outside when I appeared at the door holding a [...]

Hair Raising
Avery at Stereo Describes my Scenario recently went to see the film Good Hair, and as usual when the subject of hair comes up, it got me thinking.
For those of you who have not met me, I have very thick, very curly hair. I’ve always had people tell me they wish they had my hair, [...]
