Dear So and So

[Pax]

Note to self (again) you can not drink wine anymore, ever! Don't kid yourself into thinking one glass is going to be fine. Now you have to suffer all day (tatoo this on your hand)

Are you allergic?

Dear Allergy Gods,

Care to explain why is it that when I am in my own place, I am fine, but within an hour of being at my parents' place, I am an itching, sneezing, swelling, leaking, coughing, wheezing, feverish ball of misery?

Dear muffin gods (heeh ),

Gingerbread muffins were a swell idea. Now, what can we dump into them to make them more fun...

Chopped crystallized ginger! (Not that I'm the muffin goddess or anything. )

Hey Mimi,

I hope things are going well. Been thinking about you. How RD is improving.

Dear parental unit on the phone,
Why don't you get the irony that I have no future plans to come visit you when you didn't make time for me as a kid, and didn't see fit to stop in for at least lunch or dinner on your annual trip from Texas to Georgia the 8 years I lived in New Orleans? You bend over backwards to see your spouse's relatives but wouldn't do the same for me? Bah humbug.

Think I'll stick to variations on muffins, that sounds like much more fun.
There's always currants and chopped nuts to add to gingerbread too.

This thread kind of reminds me of something I made at Girl Scout camp, "Idiot's Delight". It was a box of gingerbread mix, mixed according to package directions, pour into a dutch oven, add a jar of applesauce on top. Cook - use those campfire / dutch oven cooking skills! Looks terrible, but tasted good. We always wanted either whipped cream or ice cream on top too.

Dear self:
You know better. I know you know better, and we've had this discussion before. This is a bad month for that, since DBF's coming and everything and that means meals out and a round-trip to Cincinnati...twice. The biggest place you can cut your budget is "extra crap".
You've gotten yourself your "extras" for a long time (it was a nice shirt, wasn't it?). Knock it off and be responsible. Meals out, whether at at the student union or a restaurant, will be paid for in cash. Get off the mailing lists. That should solve your problems.

Oh, and actually use the stuff you bought.

Are you allergic?

Apparently, this is quite new started in August. I hear it may be an age issue (geez)
If I even have one glass of red wine and I feel horrid the next day And I don't care for white wine
Oh well, I am a huge indulger in beer but a glass of wine with friends was always fun.
