random facts and figures

A few points of interest to share:

• Jonah pretty much told the speech therapist to go blow yesterday. when i told him that he couldn't have tv until after she left, he waved his hand and said "bye!".


• Only two days until Alan's birthday, then Jack Benny no longer.


• My brownies are about to start work on the "Safety Sense" try-it, which will include visits from the police, the fire department, and, hopefully, our local canine search and rescue team. I'm mostly looking forward to the dogs.


• I have to teach tu B'Shevat at Sunday School this week and mostly all I know about it is that it has something to do with trees. Fortunately, the internet is full of all kinds of handy information.


• Salmon for dinner around here tonight, with my favorite salsa of mango, avocado, and diced red peppers. I'm short on lime juice and Jonah has a cold, so I think I have to substitute lemon. If anyone wants the recipe (ish), let me know...it's so good. even better the next day on a turkey wrap. the cleaning lady comes today, which obviously rules out any stovetop cooking tonight, so I'm grilling on the snowy deck.


• Neighborhood cocktail party on Saturday. It's bring an appetizer or a dessert. I was going to bring a fancy flourless chocolate cake, but I heard last night that there are two chocolate cheesecakes coming in. So...what to make? I have a full pantry and a half pint of cream to work with. I thought about the seven layer dip but, frankly, it's too expensive to make for this.


• Have we spoken of my new DirtBuster? It's like a big DustBuster on a stick with a hammerhead shark attachment for the rugs. This thing works great. It's perfect for cleaning up the dog hair and rock salt in between visits from the cleaning lady. My new favorite product. Go get one. You'll be glad you did. Only $40 at your local Wal-Mart.


• Did anyone else notice how fabulous the makeup was on Sunday night's episode of Sex and the City? It was. I wish I had my own makeup and hair stylists to make me look like that. It's not for nothing that I'm keeping my isight off today.

Smell you later.
