Enjoying some homemade mead ~ working on tweaking my Imbolc ritual and looking at the University in India that Jess hopes to attend this summer

I want to get away from everyone (myself included).

Just got home from the emergency room vet for my chihuahua... been limping and when i came home today he was screaming bloody murder when he would move.. did xrays and he has a compressed disk thats starting...

Hes on pain meds and muscle relaxers till I can get to my regular vet to prescribe anti inflammitories

This evening I made sweet potato and carrot soup w/onions and garlic and fresh ginger and cardamom and turmeric and cinnamon and cayenne. YUM.

And I got a baguette from tha bakery downstairs (who's baguettes were recently named best in the Twin Cities).

And my man came over and we ate my yummy dinner and laid on the couch and cuddled and talked all evening.

And then he did the dishes and went home.

And now I'm getting ready for bed.

Loves it.

after a burst pipe over the past 2 days...I'm happy to have WATER again. Really makes you think about simple luxuries.

I'm having a beer, gonna see what's on the telly next

About to try to get to sleep again. I accidentally passed out (yet again) for about 3 hours or so. So then I ended up being awake for maybe 4 hours. Let's see if I can get back to sleep for another 3-4 before work.

Obviously being on here is not a good start.

I have never heard of being able to buy powdered porkloin - does it reconstitute back to a recognizable porkloin?

It was a huge pork loin I bought, cut up and repackaged to freeze. That's the piece I took out to make my pork and black bean stew.

I'm drinking coffee with Kahlua and cream - and watching Groundhog Day. On a Wednesday. During working hours.

The children have just gone to bed, my husband is doing press-ups behind me on the lounge floor and the TV is on...

I'm drinking tea, orging, emailing (or trying to) and on facebook. I'm thinking about having a bath.

oh now I look at it I see there is white paper under the plastic I thought it looked like a bag of white powder

Just finished whipping up some chicken tenders sauteed with spinach and some baked sweet potatoes, surfing the Org (without music... ... must fix that) and re-editing my, "It's not you... It's me..." speech...

Same ol', same ol', in other words...

Sitting here drinking some Hen letting the ladies breathe

The thread title made me think of this song:

What's weird is the title of this song is, "What's Up", but in the song, it's sung, "What's Going On".

Anyway! In response to this thread, we had a big snowstorm today. It started with freezing rain last night, which of course, turned into a big, thick sheet of ice everywhere. Then it snowed on top of that. There has been no school for the kids for the past two days, and events were being cancelled left and right, due to inclement weather. I'm hoping it stops tomorrow, so that things can get back to normal.

I remember when an orger (Cinnie I think) told me he wrote that song and I believed him.

just getting an early start on the day lots to do.

My kids start school tomorrow for 2011, and tonight none of them were asleep before 10pm, too nervous and excited. Poor things

We just went through the little girls' room with a fine-tooth comb, making repairs and reorganizing shit.

I made an awesome honey-ginger pork dish with ginger-ale glazed sweet potatoes that everybody loved.

I'm keeping an extra kid this weekend, and since she did chores like one of our own, I'm going to bake cupcakes with them now.

Chris and the boy just had a heart to heart that made me kind of faggy inside.

I want three day weekends.

I'm still obsessed with making tiny pies. I've so far made tiny key lime pies with candied-ginger/graham cracker streusel topping, chocolate cream pies with toasted-almond caramel, tiny apple pies, chicken and mushroom pies, and I think that's it.

I want to try itty bitty steak and Guinness pies.

This sounds super yummy!!!!

I'm freezing

My cat is in the second story window chittering at the birds in the back yard, wishing he could jump through the screen and eat those suckers. My cats were kittens last spring, so this is the first time they've seen all the birds and animals come back after Winter. They are most definitely more interested than last year.

Otherwise, I'm spending way too much time prepping our ongoing D&D campaign... and I should be doing it now instead of hanging out here for two hours.

I'm making an eggplant caserole for dinner, too. Kind of like eggplant lasagna. Thats whats going on in my house...

I'm about to leave to go to one of my bff's to supervise doing his taxes. (I won't do them for him, but I'll watch him and tell him if he's doing it right or wrong. )

Then he's taking me to dinner as a thank you.
