12/5 having a super Sunday afternoon ignoring the snow - Carmel Vanilla Keurig coffee, click a little, clean a little, click a little, cook a little, click a little, coffee some more, click some more...
12/7 well, shoot.. I actually like it when people tell me to “google it” that because I ponder aloud like an absent minded professor asking ridiculous questions which most folks are at a loss to answer... so they remind me where to go. And "google it" is such a nice way of telling me to figure it out without their help.

12:11: Finished prepping for Girl's Night In: roasted-garlic four-cheese pizza, crockpot of mulled merlot, chocolate brownie ice cream (Weight Watcher's of course), a masseuse that makes house-calls, and netflix. What's not to love @ MI winters?

12/12: Three cups of coffee and seven dozen snickerdoodles into my last available baking Sunday... next up - double chocolate mint cookies....

12/16: think i liked it better when i was too busy to think, and too exhausted to care

12/24: Presents - check. PJ's - check. Full tank of gas - check. Road tunes - check, check, check. Checkin' out for a bit - y'all be careful on the roads today, tonight, tomorrow. Joy to the World and all of you

12/26: from a friend: The Five Reiki Principles : I - Just for today, I will not be angry. II - Just for today, I will not worry. III - Just for today, I will be grateful. IV - Just for today, I will do my work honestly. V- Just for today, I will be kind to every living thing.

12/26: ‎"GOD is great, but sometimes life ain't good. And when I pray, it doesn't always turn out like I think it should. But I do it anyway." From the broken to GOD's ears...

12/27: is staring woefully at the lean cuisine on her table - smelling full well that there's a beautiful bison roast in the crockpot that won't be available 'til morning. Alright then, I can bring myself to suffer through this pseudo-meal happily looking forward to a lovely Michigan Roast lunch tomorrow...

12/28: s'pose you did poach eggs in that Loko stuff? nah, that'd be crazy... prob'ly end up more like a flambee.

12/31: Beginning in Jan 2011, the gov't wants to FINE the last 221 families STILL living in FEMA trailers as their homes are being repaired by volunteers using their own vacation time, and personal funds. I've worked on six homes with my own two hands. I plan to go again, but right now I'm only inclined to be using one finger on each hand and at the moment they are both aimed at gov't politicians and FEMA.

12/31: Was assembling the laptop table I bought today however had to put a halt to that because it's missing pieces- how unusual, right? Alternate plan: I'll be rockin' my own party of one with some home boiled crab, taters and a touch of moscato ... no tellin' what'll happen after that .... zzzzzz.
