Our wings are not tired.

fans cool air in the direction of the sweaty people

Work is the plan for me today. Shock. Surprise. Maybe I'll watch some tv or go to a movie later.

I called an electrician friend to hook up my dryer. Normally I am comfortable installing outlets and such, but something is odd on this panel and it is above my level of comfort. To work on the water heater I had to turn off the breaker for both the water heater and the stove. Power was still going to the heater with only the one breaker off. That isn't right.

Also, I'm wearing a flannel shirt AIFG!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

We're going to do some shopping at the mall and then to the movies and let someone else pay for the delicious delicious AC.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

It is lovely here is Rochester-- I too am sendng cool air....

I am inordinately excited that both local grocery stores have what I consider the best frozen meals (Marie Callendar's) on sale 2 for $4.00. I used to bring in the lean cuisines and other cheaper ones for lunch but =, although I would love to lose weight, they were never enough for me. Of course they weren't, because they are 200 calories! Now I eat the bigger, better 400 calorie ones. Seriously, I can't imagine that getting a burger and chips is less than 400 calories, so I fgure I am doing better AND the frozen meals have veggies. I am busy calculating how many meals I can store in my freezer, because they are a real godsend during the theatre months.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well, shoot. Now I want to go get some illegal fruit! [link]

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

laundry - done
vaccuuming - done
blueberry scones - done
spaghetti squash - done
cherry clafouti - in oven

I think next up better be some cooking (rather than baking) so that I eat something substantial today (so far a grapefruit and a blueberry scone, not really enough for 4 hours of doing stuff).

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Sophia - burger and fry meals - 800 calories is not unheard. nor is 1500 So a 400 calorie meal with veggies - good choice.

Someone find my motivation. All I've done this afternoon so far is play Sims!

Yeah, that's what I figured. Thanks for the backup. Better the 400 calrie meal with some nutrition meal than the Lean Cuisine followed up by the burger and fries because it did not fill me up!

clafouti question. the batter you pour over teh fruit, does it bake all the way through or does some stay semi-liquid?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

It bakes all the way through. It it is a very eggy batter, so it has more of an omelet texture than a cake texture.
