Happy Anniversary Michael!
I love you, and I’d do it all again if given the choice.
Really. I would.

AFK
My mother-in-law’s husband died Thursday; I probably won’t be posting for the next several days.
Just so you know.
It IS Black Friday
New poll over on the sidebar: Worst Christmas Song Ever.
These are the songs that make me want to smash the radio and throttle the singer.
You get to choose from my least favorites. If you want, you can add your hated songs here in the comments, and I’ll make another poll later.
Caveat 1: We’re talking songs, [...]

It’s Wednesday! Let’s Associate!
It’s the day before Thanksgiving, which is a holiday for me. But I shan’t be lallygagging around, instead I’ll be making pies and doing prep for tomorrows dinner.
How exciting!
So today’s word is: busy

Tasty Tuesday: Nutmeg
I love nutmeg.
For a long time, nutmeg simply met pumpkin pie, which is a good thing. But then I discovered fresh nutmeg, and feel in love.
If you have a container of ground nutmeg in your spice rack, and have no idea when you got it, then you have absolutely no idea what nutmeg [...]

Counting down to Thanksgiving
I love Thanksgiving week in Morgantown.
Students are gone the entire week. Since WVU faculty and staff have to work other holidays (like Veterans Day) because of the class schedule we get Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday off this week. Which means that a lot of people take the entire week off, which means that things at [...]

Why Do I Think This Will Go Horribly Wrong?
By the year 2020, you won’t need a keyboard and mouse to control your computer, say Intel Corp. researchers. Instead, users will open documents and surf the Web using nothing more than their brain waves.
Scientists at Intel’s research lab in Pittsburgh are working to find ways to read and harness human brain waves so [...]

Schadenfreude
When we say Avenue Q on Sunday, I realized I’d heard one of the songs before: Schadenfreude.
I actually like the song quite a bit–nice and upbeat and extremely funny.
But later I started thinking about the song. And realized that although I enjoy the song, I don’t quite get schadenfreude as a concept. Yes, I know [...]
Tasty Tuesday: Oatmeal Cookies
Since I have this new stove to try out, I need to make lots of different thing. Just to test it out of course. Since Grandmom can eat oatmeal cookies, I decided to riff on one of the recipes I’ve used before.
I’m not sure how I feel about the spices. I might drop the [...]
