I always fill my tank when it's between a quarter and a half, I don't care how much Hubby tells me I don't have to.

I am definitely starting to do this now.

Hil I'm glad it was just the gas, even though there was a walk and AAA is a bit deceptive.

I'm home from Maine. There's road construction and electric pole repairs going out of Mount Desert Island (where Bar Harbor is located) traffic was backed up for miles. I think it took us over an hour to 2 miles. I didn't take a picture but it was epic.

Other than that everything was great. We stayed at two motor courts and had some good food and some overpriced food. Yesterday was our full day in Acadia National Park and it was overcast and foggy but still pretty and this morning we went back and went up Cadillac Mountain when it was clear and saw the view.

I thought Steph quite a bit because a local brewery had their Pumpkinhead ale out Although it's not gluten free so that might be a big tease. And it was everywhere.I think there were 2 pumpkin beers/ales around.

I'd love to go back but Will wants to explore other parts. But I loved Maine I thought it was great. The ocean!!!

Hi Bitches! I skipped something like 800 posts.

I've had AAA of the plus variety since college. I don't get charged for extra mileage which has paid off lots of times. I am way ahead of the game on this investment.

Hil's stories about students are scary. I know I would not make a good teacher. For a whole host of reasons. Y'all are amazing.

You'd think I'd have more to say after the skippage, but not so much. I am staying with my sister for a few days because she had surgery. She will be fine. I have #1 son with me so he and his father don't kill each other with me gone. He is doing manly man stuff around here that has accumulated on her to be done list. It is very quiet compared to my usual environment.

Whoa, Kellog's is recalling mini frosted mini wheats. Minor problem with some metal mesh in them .

Reminds me of the time I found a 1" metal sliver in a stuffed grape leaf. No love to Cedar Lane foods for sending me a single coupon for one of their frozen meals in exchange for the enormous slice of metal I fished out of my mouth. Didn't even refund me the purchase price of the things.

Man, I would kill to be able to drink that.

Hey, Steph, don't you have a sun lamp? Do you like the brand you have? Anyone else have recommendations or advice? I'm lobbying to move to a different office, which I wouldn't have to share, but it's windowless. And I'm already hating winter and the lack of sunlight.

This is the one I have: [link] I only use it for about half an hour in the morning for about a month right around this time of year. That's really all I need to get my brain to adjust to having less light. I do like it.

Steph - Woodchuck Hard Cider makes a Pumpkin Private Cider. It's only available in select locations for a select time. I haven't found it yet (but haven't hunted it down) but according to their locator there are a couple places in Cincinnati that have it. You might want to check it out [link]

All Woodchuck products are gluten free and the facility is kept gluten free.

Excellent, thanks.
