Be glad you’re not good enough at hockey
The Dallas Stars sucked last night. I mean, really sucked. They were pretty much terrible, in a season of not being great, of defying all expectations, of looking good on paper but (usually) not so much when they have to actually play another team…. It was a bad game, at least from the Stars fan […]
How great is this?
Note added four months later: I have no clue what this video was, and YouTube doesn’t offer any help. It was obviously something about rescue animals, or the people who save them, so just watch some videos about animal rescues instead. Those of us who live with and love rescued animals can confirm: you […]
Dijon mustard and Christmas tipping
First, let me say that David Lebovitz is right! After saying there was no way I was going to buy a new jar of Dijon mustard to make the vinaigrette tonight, I saw the both (!) the old jars I had in the Bubbarator were long expired (the more recent one had a ‘best by’ […]
What’s up with vinaigrette?
I’ve never met a vinaigrette I actually liked. Well, okay, that’s not completely true. Cavalli Pizza‘s Homemade Balsamic Vinaigrette is delicious, possibly because it’s made with Balsamic vinegar. Balsamic vinegar’s natural sweetness would help to offset some of the pungency. And even Cavalli’s dressing makes me all pucker-faced if I get too much of it […]
Can’t resist!
There are a few things I can’t resist. Ser. i. ous. ly. Running water, as in a stream or river. The beach? Fine. A lake. That’s nice. But a flowing stream? Nuh-uh, can’t help myself. Unless some responsible person stations themselves between it and me, I’m going in, pretty much no matter what I’m wearing or how […]
It was another No Makeup kind of day
Having a home office and working from home (for my business & my part-time job, respectively) are great, but I ought to make a little bit of an effort! Really, I usually finish getting dressed in the morning, hair & makeup and everything, but today I kind of petered out halfway through, or maybe just […]
Sigh of relief!
Oktoberfest is over! For others: over for a month or so, ’til they get started with planning & organizing again. For me: over FOREVER! It’s a fun event—go to it, have fun, spend money—but I’m DONE. Work is good, actually. I’m editing a really interesting book, an autobiography by an older woman (the mother-in-law of […]
I’m still here!
I’ve been very busy lately, what with my regular work (sporadic as it may be, it’s pretty intense when it hits), my “part time” job (taking up more and more time every week), my Oktoberfest involvement (which is just about to be done, forever and ever, world without end, amen), the house, and playing Bingo […]
Better…
Things are better than the last time we spoke. I’m still working on Oktoberfest, but it’s only for a few more weeks, you know? Then I’ll never, ever have anything to do with it again (hand to God). I can stand it that long! My work for Debbie is chugging along, and still involves trying […]
Gonna kill me
Oktoberfest is gonna kill me. All (!) I’m doing this year is handling the signs and banners, and still…it’s going to kill me. Scheduling appointments for Debbie is gonna kill me. I now have a part-time job (yes, because business had become that bad) working for my friend Debbie, and she has a lot of […]
