I read a lot of books this year. 147 books to be precise (unless I read another book today making it 148, but that seems unlikely).
I found several new series that I quite enjoyed:
The comic NYX, is a slightly older series that tells the story of three teens who are trying to deal with their [...]

Wednesday Ahoy!
Being on vacation, it’s easy to lose track of time, so I just realized it’s Wednesday.
For the upcoming new year, today’s word is: ten

Harlequin
I was hoping to be a jester!
Your result for The Who Would You Be in 1400 AD Test…
The Harlequin
You scored 29% Cardinal, 46% Monk, 47% Lady, and 32% Knight!
You are a mystery, a jack-of-all-trades. You have the king’s ear, but also listen to murmurings of the common folk. You believe in the value of [...]
What Could This Be?
Why it looks like a blog!
(blows dust off top of bookcase)
Looks like someone has been neglecting the place.
As the physical house is getting cleaned today, the likelihood of anything more entertaining appearing here is quite low.
But you’re more than welcome to make yourself comfortable in the interim. Plenty of cookies and legal beverages. Have [...]

Merry Christmas!
Adeste, fideles, laeti triumphantes;
Venite, venite in Bethlehem.
Natum videte Regem angelorum.
Deum de Deo, lumen de lumine,
Parturit virgo mater,
Deum verum, genitum, non factum.
Venite adoremus, venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus, Dominum.
En grege relicto, humiles ad cunas
Vocati pastores approperant:
Et nos ovanti gradu festinemus.
Venite adoremus, venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus, Dominum.
Stella duce, Magi Christum adorantes,
Aurum, thus, et myrrham dant munera.
Jesu infanti corda praebeamus.
Venite adoremus, [...]

Christmas Eve
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.
And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I [...]

Oops!
Sorry! Got busy! Forgot it was Wednesday! Made challah instead!
Better late than never?
Whatever.

Yo, Bro
I’ve joked for years that most guys I know treat me like the little sister they never wanted.
Now I have further proof.
Over a year ago, I came home to discover a surprise package. Why yes, I did in fact receive six bottles of bird vomit. How lucky am I?
So yesterday, I received yet another package [...]

Christmas Carols
New poll in the sidebar: what’s your favorite Christmas Carol.
This doesn’t include hymns, which you might sing while caroling. Of course, the last time I remember caroling, was for French club in high school. We went around my French teachers neighborhood, singing French Christmas carols, to her neighbors. Then we went back to her house [...]

Sugar Cookies Coming Up!
Saturday I cut out sugar cookies and baked them. They still need iced, but that’s for another day.

WVU Closed beginning 1:30 pm today until further notice. Updates: wvu.edu
Snow Day!
I love snow!
Since the semester is over, and more than half the population of the town is gone, I have a feeling there will be no rush to clear the roads.
Going up the hill…
Going down the hill…

The Center WILL Hold
So. Depression, blah blah blah, upped my meds, blah blah blah.
Same old song and dance there.
What’s new is that Thursday I have an appointment to see if we can figure out what the hell happened to put me in the ER Monday night.
Yes, I feel fine. I felt fine Monday night actually. But I’d [...]

In honor of my adventures Monday night, today’s word is: emergency

Tasty Tuesday: Blueberry Oatmeal Cookies
I was looking for a new cookies recipe to try, and when I ran across this one, I remembered that I’d frozen some blueberries this summer, so that meant I had to make the recipe, right?
The recipe was straightforward, however, the cookies took longer than expected to bake, and although they are delicious, they’re [...]

My Feet Hurt
Spent the weekend making Christmas cookies (most of which are frozen/refrigerated in dough form).
Any requests before I finish up next weekend?

Layout Tweaks
For those who may use and RSS feed for this place (there are legions of you I’m sure), I’ve been tweaking the layout for the site.
I’ve added a temporary snowfall, which was a lot of fun to create I must admit, and I created a new set of banner headers. Refresh and you’ll see a [...]
