Sore throat go away

come again, well, perhaps after New Year’s day? Yep. The sore throat-fever combo is back. So I’ve been resting all day, didn’t eat much of anything but tylenol, scrambled eggs, and a big pot of hot water + honey + lemon (thanks be to the Demi-Boss for her bountiful lemon tree). Hopefully this is not going to turn into strep… Just want to drop a line to say that I had a great time Friday night at the joint b-day party for me and Shane.

Harry Potter RULES

Saw HP at a private screening last night. It KICKS major ass. Yes, the effects are really really good. The chemistry between the kids are as fun as always.

I wish you can have more pep in your step for...

Days gone by

Well, I’m nearing my usual goal of getting all Christmas shopping and gift picking done by the end of November. Technically, we’ve shopped for this year in Thailand last year for most people. (Demi-Boss, if you’re reading, that’s MY time/money saving tip!) And I’ve decided this year that I will bake. Or make homemade mixed nuts. Bought this big ol’ pack of plain white Chinese take-out cartons from Smarts & Final for $7 that I can pack my baked goodies in for people for every occasion. Now I just have to decide on the menu… Oh crap! I still have...
