I hate fruitcake

Posted by sat8997, 21 November 2011 -

Unfortunately, my dad doesn't. So amongst all the holiday baking I need to do for Thursday, I'm making him his annual fruitcake. At the moment, I've got 42 pounds* of dried fruit, and those nasty green cherries he insists on, soaking up really good rum. Waste of booze.

And, just for Vic, since I know he'll ask:

Chocolate swirled pumpkin...

Mother's Day 2011

So I just got back from one of my semi-annual long weekends at the beach (which is why those of you who sent chapters for me to edit won't get them back until some time tomorrow). As usual my dad insisted on giving my sister and me a little extra cash even though we don't need it. But, you know, it makes him happy. When I picked my sister up Friday...

Sparkles

My daughter told me I sparkled. She was brushing my hair at the time, so I figured she was commenting on the little bit of gray that's started to show in the dark brown. She said it wasn't gray, it was silver. Her thought was that ordinary, dull people get gray hair. Kick ass, full tilt crazy people get...

Have you ever had one of those days? You know, when you are trying to get out of the house and you are running down a mental checklist to make sure you've got everything? I was doing that this morning.

Coffee pot off?

Check.

Lost and Found

Found my blue sweater the other day. It's been missing for a couple of months now. It walked into my kitchen the other day on the boy that lives three houses down. Seems my younger daughter 'borrowed' it and then left it at her friend's house. He decided it looked good on him and he was keeping it,...

Hubbell was an idiot...

The Way We Were is one of my favorite movies. The damn thing always makes me cry. Right at the end there when they meet unexpectedly in New York. She tells him that his girl is lovely and they hug. Right there.

This afternoon my doctor told me my EKG was a bit abnormal, but he didn't think I was having a heart attack. Good to know...

It's...

50...

I hit 50 today. I am both depressed and fascinated. Who the hell ever thinks they'll be 50? I'm having a drink, maybe two in honor of myself.

And, you know, I'm not doing too bad for an old broad. But tomorrow I'm going back to 39 and a half.

Vacation, all I ever wanted...

I started my vacation today. So I slept in, sort of. For some reason, I don't think being awake at 7am actually counts as 'sleeping in'.

My office only called five times. So far, so good...

Eggplants Are Purple?

Am I the only one who thinks that if you're going to be a checker in a grocery store, you should be able to recognize various kinds of produce? And we're not talking exotics here, just your basic everyday vegetables. I did my weekly shopping today and I had to identify four different things so the checker ringing me up knew...
