I don't know where I've been, really. Everywhere. Nowhere. Folding the laundry. Going to Weight Watchers. Taking a really hard yoga class.
Andrew's computer crashed. The hard drive croaked. We had to send it out for data recovery. Then I had to learn how to rebuild a Windows system from scratch...reinstalling the system, drivers, software, and data. Twice. Then he got a virus. My ultimate sentiment on this whole experience? Come on, kids, you can guess. I know you can. Ready? Here it is: Holy mother of god, the apple OS is so totally superior to that piece of crap that it is a complete fucking mystery to me why Windows has the dominant market share. Ok. Rant over.
Nothing new on my mind, politically. Same old. Boo on Harriet Miers. Hey, George, I'd like to be a brain surgeon. My qualifications? Well, I own a brain and I've been to doctor's appointments. Will those do?
Shlomit got a new job. She's now a big rich corporate whore. Go, Shlomit!
Alan has been doing The Sound of Music in his community. Despite his uncanny resemblance to Rolf the Telegram Nazi, he's playing Captain von Trapp, and bringing down the house with his emotional rendition of Edelweiss. Sadly, I haven't been able to go see it. Boo on Friday afternoon dance class and Sunday School.
Jonah has toilet trained himself! Literally, in one week, we went from diapers 24/7 to underpants all day long. It's so totally excellent.
Here's a survey question: is it gross to reuse a pull up that hasn't been peed in? Do I need a fresh one every single night? Those things cost, you know!
The big diet...down seven and a half pounds. But I think they have fat scales there. I weigh less at home. I think that the scales should be in little phone booths with privacy-promoting black glass, like gay bars have. Then I could strip, which seems only fair. As it is, I refuse to eat or drink on Tuesdays until I weigh in. I'm like a wrestler. Only, yesterday I had to, because it felt like my blood sugar was way too low and I thought I was going to faint or puke or something, right htere in the kitchen. So I had an orange and a granola bar, and I'm sure they added a pound and a half to my total.
More chicken for dinner tonight.
But the holiday baking has begun!! Macaroon brownies in the oven right now.
I'll try to be here more this week.
Love and kisses.
Posted by volfie at October 12, 2005 11:28 AMHi Terry -
Holiday baking - aren't you good and so organized! I always want to be but .... Perhaps a post on early holiday baking/storing tips - I always want to bake more for the holidays, but never seem to be able to get to all that I plan. Do you make them, then freeze? Do you just make the dough, freeze, then bake later? When you freeze the completed product, how do you store them? I've tried a few things - some did well, some disintegrated, some tasted bad.
I can smell brownies even as I type ...

Posted by: Mar on October 16, 2005 06:24 PMGo Jonah! Go you! Holiday baking is something I aspire to, much like looking through MS Living, or Pottery Barn. I know perfectly well I will never do it, and yet, I want to someday.
