Whee! I'm always cheered by hearing the news about Impending House.

This: go Liese go!!

my co-worker is eating chicken and dumplings straight out of the can

....chicken and dumplings come in a CAN?

Is it ever a good thing when the really big boss flies in unexpectedly and unannounced?

Doubtful. Here's hoping it's a bad thing for someone who you dislike!

eally big boss flew in to give us all a pen and a pin. Seriously

Dang. Well, I'll keep hoping that Crazy is leaving, for everyone else's sake

but yesterday was the first day of school for Leif

OMG! (Er...why is he starting two weeks before Christmas? Is this some bizarre year-round-school plot or something?) (Also, dear lord, how did he get so BIG?)

I have a new job. Big Boss has not been told I gave notice. I fear being called in

Ooooh! Congrats, msbelle!! And good luck

Would this be an OK place to get started?

Given how fast it moves, possibly you may get trampled or unheard, but it's not like you could be off topic! Welcome!

I have a dream of recipe software that will take as input my pantry inventory and give me something delicious to make out of it.

I think there are places online you can do that. Of course, with what Kat listed, I would just eat the cheese and crackers, and call that dinner. Which is...um...what I just did, actually. And there IS food in my house.

Art Crawl!!!

I found a thing that said that you could sub 2 tsp baking powder for 1/2 tsp baking soda. And something about replacing the acidic liquid in the recipe with non-acidic liquid.

And if I only had molasses - the subsitution I got said 1 cup sugar plus 2 T molasses. Do you think I could use honey or maple syrup instead of the molasses?

I'm going to make oatmeal cookies with those new red and green Cadbury mini sweets and walnuts - does that sound festive?

....chicken and dumplings come in a CAN?

ahahaha! i didn't know about it until he started eating it all the time either. he opens it from the bottom too so all the "good stuff" is at the top. it smells like dog food and tastes worse. i don't recommend seeking it out.

I'm a little too attached to the large number of music my 80G holds

my 16GB holds a lot more than i thought it would. i've got 4 eps of Profit, 4 eps of Farscape and about 3 GB of music and there's still a ton of room.

Yes, I do.

Our wings are not tired.

Welcome, Gadget Girl! I'm a bit further down the road from you. Delray Beach. And yes, it was stupid hot today.

I had celery and peanut butter for dinner. Tommy did a lot better.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

It looks like we'll be wearing shorts and t-shirts for Christmas...grrrrrr.

Well, some might be wearing shorts. I'm not particularly fond of shorts and spring/summer fashions. It's probably going to be 80 degrees and I will venture out in black.

I'm having some pre-dinner garlic bread so I don't gnaw my own arm off waiting for DH to get home. I don't know what we'll have for actual dinner. Probably something that comes from a drive-through window. I've got duck and pheasant in the the freezer, but (a) they're frozen (b) I'm lazy and (c) there's no veggies or anything to have with them.

I don't mind the shorts and t-shirts for Christmas since I don't exactly own much cold weather gear. 27 years in Florida and still don't miss snow. I like it in pictures.

Happy belated Anniversary, Beth! Either pizza or filet would have been better than the celery, but it was ok.
