Meeting the Bloggess

There we are. Jenny and me. The Bloggess meets the Recalcitrant Goddess. It was magical. And Furiously Happy.

A Mere 48 Hours From Now...

The Goddess meets the Bloggess. In Denver at The Tattered Cover Book Store. I just hope I don't squeal and babble on like the idiot fangirl that I am. Good thing Andrea will be there to keep me in line. Wait. She's a squealy babbling fangirl, too! This could be trouble. In the best possible way.

It's All You Need

La Batería Muerta

Well. It seems the nearly nine year old battery in my car is kaput. Not bad for original equipment. Considering South Dakota winters, I'd say this battery has done outstanding work. Though buying a car battery isn't nearly as much fun as buying shoes. If it was, that would be downright weird.

Weeds

I have entered the world of Nancy Botwin. Via a warp of some type in the space/time continuum. I don't really want to be here but it seems the only way out is through. Please send Cheetos. I prefer the fried to a crackly crunch variety. Carry on without me, I'll report in when I return. 

Coordinating Leftovers

This never happens. Or almost never. Basmati rice + creamy chicken mushroom soup + bacon. All of them in my refrigerator! When combined and heated have produced the most desirable and delicious of lunches possible in the universe. Making this Monday most tolerable.

Ten Things About October

1. I got kicked out of a bar for the first time since I was under age.

2. In reference to item 1, the bartender claimed he was on the phone calling the police as we exited.

3. I picked the last two vine-ripened cherry tomatoes whilst being pelted by large, sloppy snowflakes.

4. I have decided that shrimp tacos are my absolute favorite.

5. I have yet to meet an Octoberfest beer that I didn't like.

6. In reference to item 5, the proper zymurgical term for such beers is Marzen style.

7. Back in June it seemed like a perfectly reasonable thing to pack away all the winter coats and such as well as most of my sweaters.

8. Because of item 7, and the fact that it is now November, today I rooted around in the garage to locate boxes containing these items.

9. I need to sell this if I have any hopes of parking in the garage this winter.

10. Pretty excited about meeting the Bloggess!
