I published a poem. =)

And finally, I can tell the whole world! I own my own business now! =)

Hello dear world. My husband, Chris, who I love dearly, has lost my copy of CHOCOLATE AND ZUCCHINI. Now normally this would not matter that much, despite the fact that he lost it at the supermarket....

But the point of him being at the supermarket is that he purchased me three and a half pounds of beef, along with all the other ingredients needed to make the Beef Bourguignon recipe from the book. Which is substantially different from any other recipe for that online. And is not available online... and all the book stores are closed now....

And to wrap it up, I have three and a half pounds of beef, a bottle of red wine, and a desperate need for somebody who owns that book to tell me how to put the marinade together, so that I can let it soak overnight... and then go rebuy the book tomorrow morning.

Thank you in advance.

Hilarious! And oh, so true for Jews... =)

Ok, let's try this again, except with LIVE dragon eggs. The other ones died due to too many page views, too fast, so I'm putting these behind a cut. Only open the cut if you want to click on them. Thank you. =)

I completely and totally blame Elizabeth Bear for introducing me to this game. If you would be so kind as to click on my egg below, you can help it hatch. Thank you. =)

It's my birthday too today, but this is really for one of my good friends from high school, who shares the same birthday as me. Happy Birthday, all you wonderful babies of spring who get to be born on the vernal equinox! =)

We rock. We seriously do.

And as for my birthday, it has been largely allergy-filled, and I have a large craving for mozzarella sticks. This may be assuaged later today, after the husband gets home from work.
