I feel very reassured by all of your statements that you, too, have nothing of significance to say.

In fact, I'd say those statements were significant.

It sort of makes me hunker down in singletonhood. Not in a bitter way, or anything. Just representing.

ita, hold on to it. Enjoy it. I know some people who really miss it. (I don't, because I never had it in the grown up way that most people do. But I also have all the freedom I'd ever want, because I'm not interested in romantic/sexy behavior with other folks, and I'm still free to go out, go to parties, run off for a few days in LA, etc, and the husband prefers I leave him at home for things like that anyway.)

I decided to go the third-party route and buy ice cream instead of making it. What I really wanted was tres leches ice cream, but I haven't seen that in an age. So I got B&J strawberry cheesecake. Don't really like it. I should have just bought the fixings for any flavour ice cream myself. I always like that.

I have no ice cream and now I am sad. Which is pretty much the most significant thing I have to say at the moment.

I made pumpkin muffins this evening. They are pretty good, if I do say so myself.

But after the chat here, I wish I had pumpkin ice cream.

Congrats, lisah!! What a wonderful proposal story.

Also, congrats to Kiba! And happy birthday to Ginger!

From upthread

I think I need to put all the Charlie Brown specials on the Christmas list. I'd rather have them all without commercials

They do have a boxed set of Charlie Brown DVDs--we were selling them last year at B&N.

Man, lotsa neat news! Congrats, Kiba!

I feel like I should be in a perpetual state of thanking for the congrats. (Not as bad as the awkwardness of being thanked by someone for the thank you note you sent them, though.)

I envy no one's ice cream, as I'm chilly here.

Okay, I maybe would love some pumpkin ice cream. I made two loaves of pumpkin bread to take to a friend's house but at the last minute decided to keep one of them at home. So the right decision, ohmygoodness.

Congrats, Kiba! And please, keep posting.

I have no ice cream, which makes me mildly sad, but as I think I might be coming down with some sort of ick and as such, have been achy and hiding under the covers all day, perhaps ice cream isn't the best idea.

Lewis did make me tea and brought me one of the soft Nonni's biscotti, so that was definitely an acceptable dessert today.

Congrats to Lisah, Nicole, and Kiba!

I'm in that same hood. Separate household, natch.

Kat, that's a crazy situation. I hope you don't bear the brunt of any more of their communication issues.

Liv had an epiphany last night. While out trick or treating with DH (it was pretty cold), she asked him why they were out asking other people for candy when we had a GREAT BIG BOWL of it at home.

Ha! AND... when you buy your own, it's always the kind you like.

Kiba, congrats! that's wonderful!
