WordPress and NaBloPoMo Fail

I need my own personal fail whale. First, it appears that my Thanksgiving day post didn’t actually post. I’ve posted it again, and now it seems to have a published date of the 24th… so why wasn’t it visible before? Next, after phoning it in for the post on the 25th, I completely FAILED to […]

Thank-full-ness 11/24/2011

As I mentioned in my last post, we purchased and prepared two turkeys for this afternoon’s feast, which was truly moveable. It moved from our house after we cooked it all, to the host’s house where we ate it all. Well, no, where we ate a fraction of it, to be honest. Partially because we […]

Knee-deep in brine

Really.  When you’re brining two 18lb turkeys the night before Thanksgiving, that’s a LOT of brine. I can’t complain, I brought this on myself.  Either M and I cooked Thanksgiving dinner, or the person hosting would have purchased dinner pre-made from the grocery store. That happened last year, and I spent all of dinner trying […]

Thankful Tuesdays: Hooray for my brain

Would you believe I almost forgot again that it’s Tuesday?  Luckily, I didn’t.  It may have something to do with the fact that my brain wasn’t distracted by work as it usually is, because my VPN is down so I can’t work. And that’s what I’m going to be thankful for today. No, not that […]

I’m beginning to despair

So, only two people have signed up so far for Twitter Literature 2011! I have this sinking suspicion that our final product is going to look something like this: Me: It was a dark and stormy night kitchen. TLanceB: A, B, and C stared in horror through the splattered windows at the approaching zombie horde, […]

Randomer and randomer

watching hockey last night Me: Heh. M: What? Me: If you look at that one player’s name on the back of his jersey out of the corner of your eye, it looks like “CHUPACABRA”. It’s actually something weird like “chipcoin” or something. M: Heh. play continues and Rick Jeanerette, the Sabres’ amazing play-by-play announcer mentions […]

Red Writing Hood: The Solo Roadtrip

The Solo Roadtrip. The roadtrip you take after you’ve procrastinated as long as possible because you’re not actually sure that you want to spend 5 hours in a small car with, well, yourself. After three Frappuccinos and hastily packing clothes, I’m on my way — hair pragmatically yet attractively clipped away from my face. (It’s […]

Thankful Thruesdays: Another year, another blog

I missed Thankful Tuesdays this week because my dog ate my brain. If I had a dog. Anyway, I’m celebrating a birthday (um, mine) and I thought I’d trot out everything I’m thankful for that happened in the past year of my life.  I apologize in advance if this kind of thing makes you sick […]
