starlings like blueberries!

that exclamation point shouldn’t be necessary; since they snarfed down the cold vegetable pot pie lickety split, wouldn’t you think that of course starlings would eat blueberries? but here’s the thing – wouldn’t you assume that ALL birds...

saturday morning

and i’ve been up for about an hour and a half.  it’s sunny today at least, although ridiculously cold – about 13, but i’m sure because it’s so windy it must feel like zero.  yesterday, also cold plus cloudy, kevin walked to his music...

whew…

i just wanted to put a new, summer-themed banner up there.  since i put up new banners less than once a month, i can get a little fuzzy on how exactly to upload a new one.  i know that i need to upload a new one TWO TIMES somewhere in all the mass of files in my file...

tapas. tapas. AND MORE TAPAS!

luckily i didn’t decide to DEFINITELY START DIETING yesterday.  because last night kevin and i attended a cooking class, ALL ABOUT TAPAS.  the official title of the class was SPANISH TAPAS TONIGHT!  it should have had a sub-heading – TONIGHT YOU WILL EAT...

cockeyed optimist

that’s my problem.  i should be MUCH MORE PESSIMISTIC, then i wouldn’t get my hopes up.  because many times my hopes are DASHED upon the rocks. i got to the endodontist’s office by eight a.m. SHARP, a tooth assistant girl was just getting out of her...

ROOT CANAL MONDAY!

i know it’s a very weird thing, but i’m looking forward to getting a root canal tomorrow morning at EIGHT A.M. this weekend i’ve been staying up very late reading, and then sleeping really late, so getting up at seven tomorrow to get to the root...

at least a smile…

that’s all i’m going for here.  haiti haiti haiti, then that guy wins in massachusetts…why doesn’t the media ever have big stories about how people have been trying to get health care passed since about 1912?  literally? so, something to get...

anderson cooper and sanjay gupta

maybe these guys should be in charge of the relief effort in haiti.  i just watched a video clip of anderson pulling a bleeding kid away from a crowd of looters who were THROWING BRICKS DOWN ON PEOPLE. i can’t imagine the horror of having everything around you...

we all survived friday! yea!!!

and what a friday it’s been. another freezing cold day, but this one was filled with all kinds of excitement…way way way too much excitement… we took dad to the doctor yesterday and they told him that he’d be having surgery on both wrists. ...

POT PIE UPDATE

this morning it is gone, the paper plate and everything.  i’m thinking that the raccoon took it back to his tree to heat it up in the microwave. the plate might actually be out there on the deck, but i’m not going out there yet because it’s only ONE...

dinner

dinner, part one: ok, for the moment let’s just ignore the fact that it only got up to 14 today and right now it’s seven with a wind chill of minus four, and it looks like it’s going to be like that forever, except for sunday when we’re going...

119.

that’s how many times kevin watched “star wars” – IN THE MOVIE THEATERS (the very first movie)!  He announced this amazing fact to me last night when we were watching it on a digitally remastered DVD that he got for christmas.  randy gave him a...
