Hiatus

I’ve been on a brief hiatus from my blog, I know. I had Friday off work, and yesterday was… odd. Today’s doctor appointment took all morning, too. I’ll have another break here next weekend… indefinitely. I take off work at noon on Thursday, and then who knows when I’ll be back …keep reading

Happy Birthday!

It’s ’s birthday today! Happy 24!

The closing on her condo has been delayed twice already (once on Friday and once yesterday), and is rescheduled again for today. That would be a nice birthday present, don’t you think?

In other news… nothing. I did actually get some writing done yesterday afternoon. Two pieces …keep reading

No longer funny

In a matter of minutes, the sky has turned almost jet black. From the tinted windows in the office, it looks like it’s at least ten o’clock at night. I keep getting up to check the window, see if it’s changed. Of course, we’re in the middle of the building, and on the fifth floor …keep reading

Hilarious

Outside, the sun is shining, it’s quite warm (upper 80’s), and you’re in need of sunglasses (and perhaps sunscreen). There is a light layer of clouds across the sky, so thin you can see the blue of the sky seeping through. It’s humid, but not stifling. There’s a nice breeze.

And there’s a …keep reading

Unfair Advantages

You know, being a pretty girl with a nice demeanor and kind smile can get you lots of places. It can get you a whole pickle with your sandwich at the deli (even though it’s only supposed to be a half). It can get nice (though not always speedy) service. It can …keep reading

Fixed

The debit card fiasco is resolved. Apparently my credit union had problems all weekend with declining debit cards across the board. Nice to know it wasn’t just me. Still a little nervous to go to Target without cash to back me up…

Swedish Pancakes

As I’ve been promising, here is my family recipe for Swedish Pancakes.

3 eggs
1 1/4 cups milk
3/4 cup flour
1 Tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt

Beat eggs together till thick and lemon colored. Stir in milk. Stir together dry ingredients, add to egg mixture, mixing till smooth.

Notes: (not part of the original recipe)

Book Review

The Whitney Chronicles, by Judy Baer (frightenly enough published by a Christian subdivision of Harlequin)

I LOVED this book! I stumbled onto it quite accidentally in Borders one day, and took the time to read it last week. Fantastically funny! I laughed out loud several times while on the bus and train, and …keep reading

This Afternoon

Let’s talk about 86*! That’s right, and there’s a nice breeze, so it’s not a “bad” 86* (I can say that because 1, I’m in Minnesota, and 2, last week it was in the 50*s).

I was struck, while on my way to get my afternoon coffee (OK, so there wasn’t a morning coffee, and I …keep reading
