Eleventh Thread: Wedding Edition: The Hobbit Hole XI - No One Admitted Except on Wedding Business!
New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, |
Still round the corner there may wait |
Home is behind, the world ahead, |
mmmm! Donut!
Well, I just ground up the second to the last batch of habeneros. Honestly, and I'm not kiddin' one bit...one almost needs to wear a hazmat suit to deal with this stuff. I opened the top of the grinder and got hit with the airborne powder in the back of my throat and couldn't hardly breathe for a couple of minutes there.
It's gonna taste GREAT on breakfast tacos!!
Hmmm... on the one hand, you need a hazmat suit... on the other hand, you're eating it for breakfast... mixed messages here...
I'll never understand why this would be considered a ~good~ thing to ingest!
Well, eating it is one thing, breathing it, having it hit you in the eye, or accidently rubbing your nose with it on your hands is another thing completely.
I'm gonna try a half a teaspoon of it in OT's hotwing sauce soon...
And I thought my little "sriachi makes everything better" was weird.
On our first date, PE and I both had habaneros on our plate. I didn't know it was gonna be that hot and ate it whole. PE ate his just cuz I had one. We thought we were dying, LOL!
could it be a fuse?
The really weird thing is, I started off just literally eating a few grains of the dehydrated powder on my food...couldn't tolerate more than a very sparse sprinkle.
Now, I can eat a pretty good dash of the stuff! You really do build up a tolerance!
But wafting into your lungs isn't appropriate. LOL
Hmm...could be, I guess! It might be the transmission and a fuse.
Steve hasn't even looked at it yet...he took us to the birthday party on Sat. morning and a friend brought us home so he could go straight to a study group. Then after his study group that evening, we went to a Coburn victory party. Then on Sunday, he fixed the truck and went to the library to study. Then we went to church when he got home.
He's in his last weeks of school...I doubt I'll see him again except in passing for the rest of this semester! :-)
But at least you have more internet time...
LOL This is true!
Oh Jen, you should hear what I'm hearing! Joshua is reading! The curriculum is taped off the satellite, you know...and I am sitting here watching and listening to him sounding out the words and reading them aloud.
I told him just now "Wow, Joshua! You're doing GREAT!" and he replied "I love to read!"
What an absolute thrill.
Now that is good to hear! Phonics make all the difference, as far as I can tell. Reason number 523,633 why no kid of mine will see a goverment school... unless I'm dead first...
And when we first started hangin' out here, he was just a baby!
I want kids!
Sigh... let's not fret over this one again... you'll get me down too...
I gotta lotta years on you.
Ugh...writing this story is getting me down, though, because I'm giving her things I ain't got...but she's almost me. Frustrating.
In other news...I may try to look for another job around here sometime in the near future. I'm still not really making it, and I certainly can't move anywhere because I don't have enough to even cover gas for a trip. So...prayers on that, I guess.
Oh, dear... yes, sounds like that needs prayers. What else is in the area?
If you can get money for the trip, somehow, you can always crash with me as long as you need to. Unfortunately pets aren't allowed :-(
Considering I didn't have much luck when I was looking last time, I'm not really sure what's going to happen. I may just start keeping an eye out and hope for the best. But I don't like changes, which is why it takes more than a nudge to get *me* out the door to anything new.
I may look a little outside the area - northern NH - and assume that I'd have a longgggg commute until I could find a place and sell the house. But even that would make it tricky to have the dogs.
That's the main problem - the dogs. I can almost certainly find a place where I could have cats, but not too dogs. And honestly, they shouldn't be alone even as much as they are. But I also feel like it would be a horrible, horrible failure on my part if I let them go.
I'm just racked over all this. It's been a tough week, 'cause I'm working all this over in my mind.
And the other thing is, there's no way I'm gonna make Shootmoot, unfortunately, unless I *do* find something else, and quickly. Right now, I'm not sure how I'm going to get to Ben's wedding, and wishing I hadn't said I would be a bridesmaid just in case that doesn't happen.

It's so exciting! And he's only doing kindergarten! He starts first grade next year!
I really love this curriculum...we've done SO much better using this. We're already a third of the way through school! Just made my life (and the kids too) so much easier...
Matthew just finished his math assignment, sitting here with me in the kitchen, while I got a batch of bread baking in the machine!
Oh... dear... well, that certainly sounds worthy of prayer...
And we'll figure out a way to get you to ShootMoot if - if we have to make Suzi drive you out there!
