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!

Yummy! Thank you! Big'ol and I are both big fans of pecans so I'll have to try those pancakes in January.

[Lil'freeper]

I guess I should print out a new resume,

Indeed! That's wonderful news!

[SuziQ]

Check out the price at the King Arthur flour website. I got some almond meal from them last year, but I've never compared it to anyplace else. If you've seen it elsewhere, you'll be able to judge if the Baker's Catalogue has it at a better price.

[SuziQ]

I'm being referred for a computer support position. I should at least get an interview, if nothing else.

WooHoo!! So they didn't dump your info, after all!

[SuziQ]

Steve's work is going to lend me a pair of steel-toe, steel shank boots, a pair of heavy duty rubber gloves and a pair of leather gloves too.

Be sure to put identifying marks on those as well. It will be great to have such good quality 'tools' such as those.

[SuziQ]

I like the creche in the Hobbit Hole logo!

[SuziQ]

Even if he did squander it on a monkey movie :~D

Oh, it's gonna be SOME monkey movie! The visual effects in the preview were wonderful!

[SuziQ]

Coffee time funkle!

[JenB]

Mmm.... funkles...

[2Jedismom]

Mmmm! Coffee!

Ok!

[RosieCotton]

No...because I never turned down a referral.

Unfortunately, I'm out of the running for the admin assistant jobs because I didn't respond to one referral. Have to wait until they start a new applicant pool.

But if I get a computer support job...I guess that doesn't really matter, does it?

[ExGeeEye]

Thanx :)

Got a lot done today. You wouldn't know it by looking in my old apartment :/

Christmas tree's up at the new place though :) and mostly decorated courtesy of a little girl I know.

[Corin Stormhands]

Evenin'

Corin. Rope. End.

You know the drill.

[2Jedismom]

Corin. Rope. End. You know the drill.

I figure you are either at the end of your rope or you have something kinky planned...

[HairOfTheDog]

Did 2J just say that?

[Corin Stormhands]

I think so.

[HairOfTheDog]

[HairOfTheDog]

She seems so strait-laced most of the time! ;~D

[2Jedismom]

Got some of this stuff...strawberry flavored. Steve talked me in to it but then he never used any of it!

So I fixed supper and realized I had no soda, just a bunch of plain seltzer (Steve always drinks a lot of seltzer since he quit drinking beer all those years ago.) So I put a shot of this strawberry stuff in a glass of iced seltzer.

Mmmmm! Good stuff!
