Home is behind, the world ahead, |
Evening Corin - and so another season and year passes before our eyes...
Outside had 1 (one) wreath. Everything else was attached inside, like the candles in windows.
Significant progress was made inside today, accompanied by director and writer narration of the FOTR-EE and the first disc of TTT-EE.
Guess I'm among the few that waited until all the EEs were out to listen to the commentaries.
Evening Hair, our vet said that since our dogs have been walked so much around town, they develop a different type of toenail, blunter and thicker, and if we ever had them trimmed to tell the person doing it that the dogs walk on concrete. Haven't had to but it's kind of interesting how the nails would change.
Evening Winmag - great story. A restoration artist at work. My compliments.
I also cut out all trans fats, and use olive and canola oil in place of Crisco. I still eat butter and mayo, but just in more modest amounts. I use the oils instead of the butter for my cooking and save the butter for where I actually want the taste. Like on popcorn. I don't eat cheap peanut butter...I prefer to make almond butter (raw almonds ground with canola oil added. I spread it on high-fiber low-carb bread. mmmm!)
I monitor saturated fats, but eat the other things to offset them when I do eat them. The blueberries, black tea, raw almonds and yes, the wine. I eat a dose of at least two of these things a day.
I haven't had a chance to rub it in my doc's nose yet...can't wait to go back. The local blood bank checks total cholesterol gratis when you donate. My last total cholesterol was 170.
Anyway, I read that red Zinfandel lowers cholesterol so I drink 4 ounces an evening as a dose. I sip it slowly though, because I really am a lightweight and may end up swinging from the chandalier if I'm not careful! Makes me sleep like a log, though! Still, I had that headache before I drank it last night...it knocked me out but a couple of hours later I woke up and felt like a jack hammer was being used in my brain. Drank my aspirin (Alka Seltzer) and Steve sat up with me till five AM! Finally got back to sleep and slept till 9am!
ACK! Mighta shoulda skipped the wine last night.
I gave that a lot of thought this afternoon...
seein' as we don't get that many passers by, I cain't see goin' thru much more'n that... mrsnad wants tuh hang a few strands of lights next year... I can deal with that...
Trees and indoor stuff comes down this week...
we still ain't listened tuh all the commentaries... and pro'ly never will...
I betchuh did...
We got most everything down and packed up. We're staring at the tree, the lights (all 1,100) of 'em are still on the tree. I've thought about boxing in a corner with door like Corin mentioned, and just wheeling it out next year. (Just need a spare corner)
We'll get the rest of the stuff down and packed in boxes this week. But next weekend, afore it goes back to storage, we're cleanin' out ~the attic~.
Jr's already said "I'll do the part over my room..."
he's not stupid...
And now the season is really over...
At least I have another almost-week here before heading back.
Yeah, that would make it kinda difficult for someone to chase you! ;o)
I haven't even watched the second disc yet, much less the commentaries!
Neither have I. But that's no reason to kilt the thread.
Dumm dee dumm dee dumm...what movie should I watch now?
I'm gonna go read the paper, the go to bed...
Decisions, decisions. Fellowship EE, Towers EE, King EE. Would that all decisions were that hard.
I might watch all three tomorrow.
