We’re celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow at Husband’s aunt and uncle’s house in the next state over. I actually like having holidays there - well, I like having THANKSGIVING there; Auntie L is an excellent cook and Uncle T and his grown son love football. Of course, this annoys his sister, my MIL, to no [...]

I watched the second half of the Nevada Day episode of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip last night.
Yes, I know, that was the episode from last week. I have TiVo, I can bend time.

…and I’m here to tell you that it’s damned hard to take a picture of your own elbow, too.
I’m scheduled for a doctor’s appointment this afternoon so that he can have a look at some weird bumpy things I’ve got on both my elbows and two of my toes (that’s why I was trying to [...]

Johnny Grier was my favorite NFL official.
He became the league’s first black referee in 1988 and officiated games until his retirement after an injury during a game in 2004. It seems he’s now working as an officiating supervisor for the NFL.*

-at least five more place settings
-a set of 20 placemats and napkins (the most I have in a single set of mats is six, though I can probably mix-and-match to [...]

Alternately titled: At Least it’s Not SNOW!!
See the upper right hand corner of the country? The part covered with dark green? Yeah, that’s where I live.
It’s been raining, pretty much non-stop, since about nine thirty last night. And I’m not talking a light drizzle or even a passing squall, either; I’m talking [...]

alternately titled “As if I Didn’t Already Have Plenty of Ways to Avoid My Responsibilities!”
For those of you who aren’t familiar with this, November has been declared National Blog Posting Month (NaBloPoMo for short, though I’m not sure that the full name isn’t easier to write out). It was the brainchild of Fussy, who, [...]

…I’m busy trying to get a handle on things around here.

I’m totally ripping this post off from my new best blogger friend, The Grammar Snob. Her tag line is “semicolons make me hot.” How can you not love that?!?
Things that I LIKE about cold weather:
Woobie sweaters. (In my house, things that are warm and snuggly and soft and make you feel all [...]

One more day! One more day and my kitchen is FINISHED!
For those of you who may not know (Welcome, NaBloPoMo Readers!!), my family and I have been living through a massive addition to our home. The work started in May of 2005 and isn’t quite done yet, though we’re definitely making measurable progress. [...]
