I have an idea that someone (not me) who really wants to do a flylady site, minus what I think of as the "Precious Moments" style.

Start a site called something along the lines of "Flylady for noncomformists" or "Flylady for the rest of us" that simply takes the flylady site and translates it into terms more people will be comfortable with.

If that were done without permission it would be plagiarism. So, of course, get permission first and don't do it if you can't get permissions. Looking over the site, the Flylady seems very nice, even if her style is ... well. The point is I suspect that if asked for permission to set up a sattelite site that translates her work for people whose style is just too different from hers to accept the way she puts thing, she might well say yes. (Obviously, merchandise links would be to her merchandise, not a seperate set - unless a different agreement on that issue was worked out in advance.)

Anyway, don't know how much less work it would be. But if you get her permission so it is must a matter of rewording (and OK altering some of her advice on shoes) I think it would be easier than trying to create everything from scratch.

No you don't. You people suck, talking about baking at 10 o'clock at night because I just had to go into the kitchen to make banana bread. (Well, what I actually ended up making was pumpkin gingerbread muffins with rum-soaked raisins, because my intent and my result never survive the threshold of the kitchen. But the late-night baking is still your fault.)

megan, are you going to make lemon curd for me?

We're back from Reno. We hoped to beat the storm to the summit of the Donner Pass (yeah, that one). NSM.

Total white knuckle drive punctuated by cars spun out facing the wrong way and trucks face first in ditches and big rigs stopped in the middle of 80 to add chains. Like that.

We actually slid off the road at one point, but we were going about 5 mph, and we had a wide bank (there were places where it was Precipitous Drop) and JZ gently coaxed our car back to the roadway. Eeek.

So. The mountains took about two hours to traverse 10 miles. Then a swift 30 mph on the downgrade and eventually below the snowline to get out of the horizontally blowing blizzard and into a welcome driving rain.

Then we stopped in Sacramento and saw my friends Alex and Kris - who were both home from the hospital after their successful kidney transplant surgery! (Kris = donor, Alex = recipient)

Kris was already pretty bouncy though tired. Alex was very weak and sore but he'd been in bad shape for a year. But apparently all his numbers were instantly better and he wasn't looking as yellow as a Simpsons family member anymore.

Matilda was Not A Trooper during the longish drive. We were accomodating as could be, but after we got home and endured yet another whine/pout fest I dumped her into a timeout and now she's PJed and tolerable.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Matilda was Not A Trooper during the longish drive.

But you didn't have to kill and eat her, right? Sounds like an overall win to me....
