Oops

I don't like the chicken soup I made. I have no idea how I am going to finish it all.Wonder what I could do to it to make it better. It's just kind of blah and really rich at the same time. One of the eyes fell off of the kitty cat I made. IContinue reading "Oops"

Salt and Sugar

I washed dishes 3 times this afternoon/evening. I hate washing dishes. It makes my dry hands worse. Maybe I should start wearing gloves. I decided to make 2 new recipes. Used to when I cooked or baked I would follow a recipe to a T. Never deviated. I guess I have evolved because I mightContinue reading "Salt and Sugar"

My Sweet Geni

My little sweetie has lived with us for a month now. And that first vet was oh so wrong. She is still a little skittish at certain times but she doesn't really run and hide from much anymore.

Questions I’ve Always Wanted to Ask

5 minute free for all... Why would you want a pet skunk (descented it says)? Or to even pay $800 for it.  Can any animal be house trained? Like pet pigs. Do they go to the bathroom only outside and do their owners actually clean up after them just like we do dogs?  On thatContinue reading "Questions I’ve Always Wanted to Ask"

A Lili Sound Off

Can I bitch a little today and not harm myself? This is really what my talking to myself is like. Okay, North Carolina is getting pounded and flooding? I kind of saw that coming when everyone that evacuated Florida and South Carolina went north. Does no one remember Hurricane Katrina and the flooding of NewContinue reading "A Lili Sound Off"

Weekend Distractions No. 11

A HUGE distraction was the length of time it took to download and reinstall the operating system on my computer this yesterday. Unfortunately, it made the Photoshop Organizer 14 also inoperable. Sheesh. Now I have to reinstall all of it. 15 is out now. But it is $99 for the upgrade. It's never been thatContinue reading "Weekend Distractions No. 11"

Renovating 407: the Screened in Porch

My Geni can finally get outside by herself. My parents had to get a bigger doggie door for when my brother's Great Dane comes over. So I got the old door. They framed it in with 2x4s. I just have to caulk the gaps and finish caulking the porch. Oh, and frame the top backContinue reading "Renovating 407: the Screened in Porch"
