Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
I am cooking:
Ham (with brown sugar and whole cloves)
Corn Casserole
Sweet Potatoes
Cheesy Potatoes
Rotellas Bread
Stuffed Celery (stuffed with pineapple cheese)
It’s carb day! Yay!
For dessert, TLK-approved chocolate cake
I also found this song that I’ve been hearing on ads for “Flirting with Forty”. Love it.
Later, we are going to see “Bolt”, which I hear is [...]

Happy Thanksgiving
Where Mommy is Required to Learn Physics
TLK brought home a science review sheet of things involving physics. I don’t remember my one physics class (astronomy) discussing kinetic energy, work and loads of other things physics, even though it was a physics class.
Step 1 – Clear her head. She is overwhelmed by 25 physics questions. [...]
My Day In Pictures
(somewhat)
Aside from having all the time I could spare to talk to a certain MK poet, I:
Spoke to my mother, who seemed in good spirits today, and appreciated my Martha Stewart spirit of adventure, when I made these curtains without having to sew at all:
TLK stopped in her tracks when she saw the curtains. “MOM! They [...]
ARGH! Curry!
Lately, I’ve been obsessed with getting curry right. I make curry so often, I am almost to the point where I think…”Not curry again!”, but I can’t help myself.
Just when I’ve got the spices right, and I have purchased the correct yoghurt, the dang yoghurt separates!
My cooking expert explains this is because my pan is [...]
Saving Thoroughbreds

33 days
until Christmas Eve, and I meet Ian at the airport. Can’t wait. This is the first Christmas I’ve looked forward to in ages.
Or you could call it “MI” (mild insanity)
One day a month, I normally experience that lovely thing caused by all of my hormones colliding, causing my sensibilities (and I DO have some) to explode and then dissipate into oblivion. This is the thing we like to call PMS, or I am going to start referring to as “MI”.
Send me off to a [...]
Happy Birthday

He said…
Half way through a conversation, he explained that someone was “nagging me like a girl.” A couple of sentences later…
Me: “Wait a minute… ”
LOL
Hope is for Sissies
Ever since I decided to wire cable TV into my daughter’s room, I’ve been able to watch “grown up” tv, like House, MD. House is a big smart arse, IMO, to the extreme… almost annoyingly so.
But I watch it anyway.
During tonight’s episode, House told his patient, “Hope is for sissies”. [...]
