The Hobbit Hole XXIV - Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...
Please see our Hobbit Hole Troop Support project blog! ^

Posted on 08/24/2005 9:50:25 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

Morning!

I stayed up a little too late reading and had freaky dreams. Yawn.

Make a drinking game out of the meeting.

Every time anyone says "team" you have to drink.

Can I make a drinking game out of my job? No? That'd be alcholism?

Ok, just caffeine. Every time I get an idjit to deal with, I take a swig. I will overdose by noon.

Every email I get asking "how do I do this thing that is clearly written down on our FAQ page", a sip.

Like I said, overdose by noon.

Joshua just called me over to look at his page of math he was working on...said "Mom, do you notice anything special about this page?"

"What?" I asked.

"It's page 42!" he replied!!

So then, he's learned all he needs to know?

Heh heh. Can you imagine him saying something like that to a public school teacher? I admit, it took me a second to figure out what he meant! But at least I have some context!

Good morning.

Last night Jr did something that made Luke angry (I have no idea what), but Luke said "I hate you Jr."

After explaining why it was wrong to say that he responded.

"I didn't want a brother."

LOL! Well, it's not unreasonable, if slightly illogical!

Mmmmm. Of course I'm hungry now. Thanks! :P

I made a yummy avacado salad the other day: chopped avacado, chopped green chiles, chevre cheese crumbles, and chopped tomaters. A little salt, a dash of lime. *swoon*

And now I'm super hungry. When's lunch?

I have to find interesting pork recipes. I got a big pack of pork chops on sale the other day and I will be eating pork for two weeks.

I'm looking for hot and quick...I am so busy...I have never been so busy!! I've had a bit of lea-way in the past with supper, but now Steve is coming home from work every evening and is happy when I have something cooked and waiting!

So I'm looking for crock pot ideas...something I can set up in the morning and cook all day and be hot in the evening.

Also, I still want to do that cook for a day, eat for a month thing...that would be good too...to just stick a frozen casserole in the oven an hour or so before he's supposed to get home.

I'm such a failure at this kind of thing and want to improve. Normally, he comes home and fixes supper (and never complains, because 1. he's good at it and enjoys it and 2. he knows I've fixed two meals already during the day.

But it's my desire and conviction to have supper on the table "most" of the time.
