  • Finally downloading all the pictures I took in Nebraska et al. So I can get to the cocktail picture tucked in there. #
  • http://www.whattofeedyourraidingparty.com just received it's 1st anonymous negative comment. I feel like I've arrived, LOL! #
  • Want to do a craft project/tutorial so, of course, first I have to clean off my work table! #
  • @ingenuemom not at all–granted, #comiccon is more media-focused these days than geeky in reply to ingenuemom #
  • @mellisarock But it's also been said that unwatched stats never improve… catch 22! in reply to mellisarock #
  • Tonight was Pineapple Fried Rice w/shrimp–dessert was the pineapple bowl it was serves in! #
  • Disappointed: Pineapple Fried Rice did *not* hold well overnight. Enzymatic pineapple + rice = mushy :'( #
  • Today's (non-alc) cocktail tastes like a delicious baked apple a la mode! http://www.sipsandshots.com/50-shots-of-america-arkansas #
  • Realized sweet potato-chorizo mole was going to take 1.5 hours in the oven! Tropical Smoothie wraps it is! #
  • This is so weird–I'm up & being productive before noon on a Saturday! It's so quiet… #
  • Having trouble staying on a single task–blog post 2/3 written, 2 pages laid out & lettered, Girl's Night playlist/outfit chosen. #
  • Had a great girl's night w/ @QDinFL & the rest at 101 Lounge. Now Dr Who & ice cream w/ @AgentSpectrum. #
  • My late-afternoon nap has ruined any chances of a normal bedtime. So I'll blog & do laundry instead. #

  • Dr.L's office seems to be running behind for once–but the wait is giving me a chance to script! If only Oprah wasn't on in the waiting room #
  • Catching up on yesterday's #ssfe & love that Donna Kozik admits "balance is over-rated" … Sometimes that is so true. #
  • St Elmo's Fire just came on–DVR is the only reason I'll be able to go to bed before it's over; I love this movie. #
  • Ah, weekend, it's so nice to see you, again! #
  • Sudden thought: instead of covering sofa (fabric's good, just wrong color) why not die it like they do carpets? #
  • Opened a bottle of Lakeridge's Southern Red with dinner & it's gone straight to my head! Wohoo for datenight! #
  • Writing out this next script longhand–it worked for the 4th part, why mess with a good thing? #
  • Sipping a homemade latte while scripting, @AgentSpectrum is in the living room playing a video game. Liking my life, right now. A lot. #
  • @AgentSpectrum just draped 2 hot-from-the-dryer shirts over me. Felt like the cat that climbs into the laundry only the laundry came to me! #

  • Gnocchi trials completed. Full blog report later this week but the short answer is cake flour makes a beautiful difference. #
  • Tonight's flavor experiment: (vegan) coconut corn chowder. Verdict? Gooooooooood stuff. #
  • @Swikan Yummy! Now I want to make some of my quickie Sangria myself! http://www.sipsandshots.com/sangria/ in reply to Swikan #
  • Today's cocktail, Bitter Berry, highlights some of Maine's main symbols: http://www.sipsandshots.com/50-shots-of-america-maine/ #
  • One of the longest short weeks I've ever had is now finished; some comfort food & vegging out are in order. #
  • I seldom get PMS but today is one of those days. Hiding in bed with books & reality tv; productivity will wait til tomorrow. #

  • @AgentSpectrum is doing some work on his dad's computer before we head to the airport to start the trek home. #
  • Just found out our first flight home is oversold–WHY do airlines do this?! It does explain why our tix don't have seat assignments. #
  • @AthleteWannabe Are there things he does like to eat that you could make healthier versions of? Every little bit helps! #healthbuzz #
  • @SummerOtaku Earl Grey ice cream?! Sounds delicious! *puts ice cream machine higher on wish list* #
  • @foodbuzz Sometimes it's just enough to change the flavor of granola bar or variety of nuts in the trail mix. #healthbuzz #
  • @foodbuzz Buffalo-sauce & gorgonzola crackers, paired with white bean dip & broiled oysters florentine. #healthbuzz #
  • @TheHealthyApron mid-morning, mid-afternoon & 2 hours after dinner to keep my blood sugar even. #healthbuzz #
  • @TheHealthyApron TrailMix–it has enough of a flavor & texture mix that variety is built in. #healthbuzz #
  • @TheHealthyApron Doing something with my hands (knitting, drawing, etc.) curbs the idle-snacking urge. #healthbuzz #
  • @foodbuzz Cottage cheese will get a makeover & a marketing plan & be the 'new' Greek Yogurt. #healthbuzz #
  • @AthleteWannabe Amazing! Way to go on the lowered cholesterol! #
  • End of June always leads to budget madness but a certain client is really pushing the fiscal craziness this year. Wasteful. #
  • Really hope no more need-invoice-now jobs pop up in the next 1.5 hours. Today has been ridiculous! #
  • Compared to yesterday's insanity, today is practically still. Which means I have time to think–what the hell do I want?! #
  • @TheHealthyApron Absolutely! She was my favorite part of the New York Housewives, too. #
  • @TheHealthyApron In both my thumbs! Rest up! A hard week at work has made mined flare up as well. #
  • Coworker tried to spin something this morning to deflect a serious error affecting him. So didn't work. HAH! #
  • Just had some amazing Cebiche at a new Peruvian restaurant in Tallahassee: Sabor Latino. #
  • Holy carp! This is the last week of recipe testing (besides some tweaking) for http://www.whattofeedyourraidingparty.com ! #
  • Just concocted a lovely tapenade of olives, dates and feta. It's yummy now, by tomorrow it should be fabulous! #
  • Just started a batch of limoncello that will be ready in October. Until then, making lemonade with the leftover (naked!) lemons :D #
  • Seafood dip: accomplished! And with that recipe done, that's 2 chapters of recipes finished. Woot! #
  • Doing beer can chicken, today, ony with game hens & pineapple juice! #
  • Hens turned out fabulous! That and the grilled corn and blue cheese potato salad made a great holiday dinner. Am now vacating the kitchen! #
  • Tobacco (shredded cigarettes) in icing?! Oh, gross, Cupcake Wars. Just… Ew. #

  • Fighting the crankies…must be the Eclipse Shadow Zone #
  • @Swikan I put both grapes and apples in my chicken salad =] #
  • @Swikan The fruit provides color and texture & lightens up the feel of the salad–most folks I,ve served it to, love it! #
  • 2 dogs from the next street over got into our fenced backyard; no tags, played sleuth & found their house, had to leave a note. #
  • Suddenly craving a tall glass of sweet tea… #
  • It seems so shallow and yet… I always feel so much more capable with freshly done nails. #
  • Contemplating *not* taking my laptop this weekend–email/twitter via phone & one less thing to deal with on the flight. #
  • Just got an amazing comment over on 64 Arts that totally made my morning! #
  • RT @pamelaribon: You guys. I'M ON OPRAH.COM. http://bit.ly/98CXBL <<love it #
  • Clothes laid out to pack–still deciding to take just carry-ons or check a single bag between us. #
  • Continental (to) doesn't charge, Delta (from) does. Is not having to juggle cases into the overhead worth $25? #
  • @SummerOtaku My condolences on your loss. #
  • Checked bag it is! Both Cont. flights up are on tiny jets; we'd have to at least gate check even my small wheelie. #
  • Last night I didn't own a single tote that zipped closed. This morning I do. Well-stocked craft room FTW! #
  • 2 hr drive to JAX, 2 hr wait, 2 hr flight to IAH, 1.5 hr layover, 2 hr flight to OMA, 1hr drive to Lincoln. Long day ahead. #
  • @LeeCherolis Maybe… But a marinade can enhance already good cuts and tenderize flavorful ones that would be tough without it. #
  • @LeeCherolis Then save the marinade for a boring-but-healthy chicken breast or a skirt steak :) #
  • Having lunch at the Budweiser Stadium Club. Decent sized portions when you expect airport food to be 2x$ for half the food. #
  • Made it to Houston–expected an airport like Atlanta… Not quite. #
  • So grateful our luggage decided to join us in Nebraska–@AgentSpectrum & I would both be facing a nakey weekend without it! #
  • Just witnessed fireworks of unknown origin from the Interstate. That and a gorgeous moon in a clear twilight sky. #
  • While sight-seeing in the Haymarket District we found monkey-face liquorice! #
  • Long day of sight-seeing after the funeral & reception followed by dinner at local-favorite, Valentinos. #
  • Since we did most of our sight-seeing yeasterday, today we've decided to go to the Children's Zoo. @AgentSpectrum indulges me :D #
  • Had an excellent dinner with @AgentSpectrum's mom, stepdad & sister. Now packed foor the trip home tomorrow. Exhausted. #
