Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I had ravioli for dinner, which was pretty boring, but then I had pumpkin pie for dessert. I think I've perfected this pumpkin pie recipe now.

Our wings are not tired.

I've been particlularly relishing my solitude today, after a very busy (and social) day yesterday.

Spent the morning in the sunshine on my back deck, sipping coffee and reading houseporn magazines. Then for a dog walk in the hood (we have a lot of training exercises to practice, as we had a session yesterday with the fantastic dog trainer), then back for football. It's weird not having Steve here, but it's okay. I was inspired by all of you foodies and decided to make ad hoc huevos rancheros using a can of Amy's Veggie chili, corn tortillas, two eggs and a little bit of sharp cheddar. First time I tried it and it's a keeper.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So much world for little Grace! Hooray!

I still have to do laundry and cut my hair. How completely unexciting yet necessary.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Man, just reading the coverage of the Saints game is nerve-wracking. I think I'm kind of glad it didn't come on TV here.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I am, as per usual it seems, recording it to watch when DH gets home. Grumble, IT infrastructure needing maintenance on the weekends, grouse.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

How completely unexciting

Speak for yourself! Oh, wait...you were.

I'm having a chile lime chicken burger. Cause I am lazy.

I rethought my hate of leaf blowers while trying to get the leaves out of the ivy. God that's a pain. Also, I was growing quite the crop of mushrooms under all those leaves. At first I was all I don't remember all these white rocks in my yard... and then I looked closer. I anticipate more when I deal with the ivy between Ben's and my walks.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

ad hoc huevos rancheros using a can of Amy's Veggie chili, corn tortillas, two eggs and a little bit of sharp cheddar.

If you don't have chili, you can substitute refried beans. Muy tasty.

Mac liked ice skating although we only went around twice and that took 20 min. We will go back.

I bought paint samples today. I will be painting all the walls (except maybe kitchen and bath) and want it to be a warm neutral and compliment the wood floors which are a medium honey brown. Samples are: creamy buttermilk, sandy feet, and summer sandcastle - all glidden colors. Corm silk eliminated for being too yellow.

Catching up - love honey, need to eat it more often- I have clovern tupelo and wildflower. Sad to admit that I all too often let it crystallize. I love honey on waffles.

I thought agave was low glycemic.
