maybe you’ve seen this, but…

maybe you haven’t.  it’s a very, very funny thing that billy dee williams did for the jimmy kimmel show.  i promise you’ll laugh, and don’t we all need a laugh on this very last day of 2009?  of course we do. Billy Dee Williams...

ouch.

this morning i got up, worked out, went to kohl’s, had a bunch of stuff to do before giving a massage, plus i needed to clean because we’re having some people over tomorrow night…and kevin called.  he was headed to the ER  – dad had fallen on...

trying to blow people up

I just read this account on the huffington post from one of the passengers on the plane that the guy tried to blow up.  a gripping account. OVER DETROIT SKIES by Roey Rosenblith Roey Rosenblith is the Founder and Director of Village Energy (Uganda) Limited, a startup...

battle of the birds…

there’s a big pile of starlings all over the cheesecake now, which will  be gone soon.  they keep slapping their wings at each other, trying to knock out the other starlings.  kevin said that earlier, there were hundreds of grackles in the trees and they all...

yes they do!

it’s the starlings who love the cheesecake.  jim just came over (wearing his flip flops, which he quickly realized wasn’t such a great idea in all the snow) and told me that the black birds with spots are starlings, and some people don’t like them...

do birds like cheesecake?

that is my question for the day.  i hope to find this out soon. i made kevin a delicious lowfat, low-sugar pumpkin cheesecake for thanksgiving.  because we had so many desserts, we finally put it in the basement refrigerator.  i just found it a few days ago. it had no...

merry christmas eve morning!

hmm, things are good here this morning – i have finished my cookie-baking marathon, having made more kinds of cookies than ever before, plus a delicious rum-soaked fruitcake.  i’ve included (relatively) healthy pumpkin bars made with splenda for kevin,...

RECIPE FOR BACON-WRAPPED DATES

my friend lori ann wanted the recipe for these mouthwatering morsels of deliciousness and i was going to post it on facebook but my post was TOO LONG.  perhaps that’s why i never post anything on facebook. i told her i’d put it here, and then i had the...

ON BOARD THE QUEEN MARY II

i got up at SIX THIRTY this morning.  i don’t know why.  maybe because i have a lot to do today.  mostly today i have to make stuff for randy’s party tonight.  i was going to space it out during the week so i didn’t have to do everything today, but i...

wednesday.

10.  degrees. wind chill of -7. i went outside to feed the birds but since the back sliding door is frozen shut i had to go out the front and march all the way around the house.  mollie was delighted for the opportunity to go run around like crazy, but even she was...

update on the cold

IT’S STILL COLD. i got an e-mail greeting from the warwick hotel, where we stayed at the end of our scotland trip.  i LOVE the photo, so i’m including it now for you to see because it’s so cute. actually, i’m including it because kevin figured...

cold tuesday.

on friday morning i was sitting in my chair looking outside and one flake of snow drifted to the ground.   NO!  i yelled.  I’M NOT READY FOR SNOW! that seemed to do the trick. but then, later, more snow. it was ok, though, because it wasn’t so cold out and...
