HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALLEZGIRL!!!!
Another mouse down Addy's hatch! And this time, she opened her mouth by herself!
Nanci
Way to go Addy!! :)
Hippy Hoppy Happy Birthday!
Tonight's dinner is beef and mushroom stew. Two big ol' steak things and 1 1/2 pounds of mushrooms, simmering away with bay leaves and rosemary all day.
Smells pretty darn good.
Oooh!- I did mushroom barley soup with lamb and carrots in my new slow cooker the other night! Boy was that good!Quote:

Knot,
May I come over for dinner? It sounds delicious. :)
I am going to try Knot's chicken stew again tomorrow. Cross your fingers that the power gods are good to me. :)
Dinner at my house! We'll have custard with shaved Scharffen Berger chocolate on top for dessert. Someone bring the beer/wine and we'll make it into a party! Hooray! Monday is over, and we're 1/5 through the work-week!
I'll make carrot sticks, too. We can each eat a carrot stick and feel virtuous... :p
Happy B-Day, Allez! Annnnnd Maaaaaannnnnyyyyyyyy Morrrrrrrrree~
X- I'll certainly chat with you tonight. Felt sorta iffy all day. Dunno if it's 'just me' or what. Blah.
Knot, you can do what T.G.I. Friday's does and bread the carrot and fry it. Only the restaurant did it with green beans. And many was it good. (I only had a couple to taste; someone had to do it.)
Re: cars. Yeah, I gotta get serious about saving for a replacement. My car's been absolutely unreliable, and I've spent so much on repairs. Hopefully I can save enough before the next big repair hits, but that means I have to stop spending on bike stuff. :D
Enjoy the new Pilot!
My weight's been all over the place the last couple days, so not sure what tomorrow's weigh-in will bring. Sunday I was up two pounds, then today only up a quarter-pound, so probably I stayed the same or lost just a tad. I'm not so worried about it though because my pants are starting to fall off, so I know my body's getting slimmer.
Well, I gotta run to bed; tomorrow's a swimming morning.
I'm getting low on Scharffen Berger chocolate. Gonna have to make a run down to Berkeley CA to get some more! Maybe I'll go next week... :D
Oh most definitely! :DQuote:

I am really frustrated. I had one credit card on auto-pay. I paid it off. They keep taking my $300 every month. I thought I'd solved the problem last month, when I got my $300 refund, and "cancelled" the auto pay. Today I get a statement with another $300 credit. Argh. It is next to impossible to get a person to talk to me about it.
My cat (Ariel), has a new obsession. I used "skin shield" on the many nicks and papercuts I get on my hands, especially in the winter. The danged cat can smell freshly applied Skin Shield from across the apartment, and jumps up on the desk to sniff my hands until she finds the place it was applied, and then tries to lick it all off. Just now she did that as I was typing, and bit the spot when she found it! At that point she was dumped on the floor. It's kind of cute to have her sniffing all over my hands, but I can't imagine it does her little pea brain any good to lick Skin Shield. Kind of like sniffing glue for kitties?
Aggravating staff meeting tonight--tough things to talk about--money and scheduling. I finally decided that this headache is a migraine, and took some Maxalt. My migraines are nothing like BM3's, I'm grateful to report. Now I'm going to bed. Also grateful for a really quiet call shift. Sleep tight, TD.
Ug, tomorrow I start the application process for grad school: jump thru this hoop, jump thru that hoop, dig out these records, send those records, write this essay, get three reference letters, have anxiety fit over this detail, bust out in tears over that detail, tear out some hair, try to explain coherently and concisely and convincingly why a 40 year-old single mom with no money should be allowed to be one of the 1 in 4 who make it into the program...
whine. And I already ate the last of my chocolate!
They LOVE applicants like you, way more than fresh-out-of-undergrads with no experience of any kind beyond dorm puking/cleaning thereof. No kidding. Is it the PT program?Quote:
