And I had chocolate stuff fer breakfast. I'm gonna live forever...
Good morning!
By the way...this morning I made the mock danish and added a good sized amount of cocoa powder, and when it was almost done, sprinkled some almond slivers on top. I've been craving chocolate, and this turned out good!
I stayed up wayyy too late last night. I was on the modest clothing thread, and it got me thinking about vintage clothes, and I ended up browing here, looking at clothes I can't afford or fit into. ;-) But still fun to look!
Someday I'm going to get a nice evening gown, just to have. I wouldn't get a vintage gown, I don't think, though. I'd be too paranoid about it. But I love a lot of the styles!
'Morning!
Shouldn'ta put so much "Miracle Grow" on yer "maters"...
We didn't hear a thing, and we had the windows open!
Have sent my mugshot to you!! Hope it will work for the HHD website!!
Good! - ecurbh said he got it!
WN - can you check in with us ~on the thread~ this morning?
There! You're up!

We did too! We saw the previews for Riddick in the theater before seeing it. When I saw Dame Judi Dench in the preview I knew I had to see Riddick , and we figured it might be useful to see Pitch Black first. I like Vin Diesel, but then I just love action movies!
Dear WN.... I am sitting here waiting to hear from you before I do anything else. I have read your FRMail to ecurbh (our monitors are 3 feet apart) and I don't understand it. I don't understand hostility to him, or about of all things, our weather, but to be honest, I think you'll see on a re-read that we locals here, your hosts at this event, were all three getting a little fatigued last night about you seeming pretty impossible to please regarding the weather here.
But by seeing in your FRMail that you think you HAVE to wear shorts and be miserable because I demand that, I think we just have found the source of the big misunderstanding.
You can wear whatever you want, I thought I had made that very clear when I have said it's casual. I tried like heck to NOT have demands on anyone for what they wear, I just don't care! When I say 'casual dress allowed' and that shorts are OK, I certainly would also approve of long pants. If t-shirts are OK, then so is a sweater. To me it is obvious. I want you to wear what you want to wear for the day.... How this got pinned down to some unfair demand on my part that everyone wear shorts whether it is cold or not is beyond me.
Lets just take this as a big HUGH miscommunication, OK? I am really looking forward to you guys coming, I am really hoping for a nice day, but in packing for Western Washington, I would bring jeans, t-shirts, sweatshirts or a sweater, and indeed shorts if you want because sometime during that week you may see rain, sun, clouds and cool foggy mornings, and temperatures from 50-80.
As for what you wear to the ceremony, don't make that a big deal. Be comfortable. That is all I ever wanted. What I was aiming for here was that people didn't show up in heels and panty hose only to be told to stand on sand. That they dressed to sit on the beach in Washington... that they dressed for the weather we are given that day.
OK? - Pinging everyone coming just so that everyone understands what to bring, and we can talk about the other details that are a lot more fun, like just seeing each other again!
HA! It will be your fault when the image of naked dwarves watchin' the webcam crosses my mind right in the middle of the ceremony! ;~D ~snickering~
Just wait'll I post pictures on the thread...
Pleaaaase don't!
