It's just a phase, I'm sure! Apparently I was more hilarious prior to The Move. I think I'm still working through the Tauren abhorrence of upheaval and the loss of my ruts. Once I settle in here and find my place I'll return to my formerly jovial and amusing self!
I think I still am feeling that limbo sort of thing where I don't really belong here. Having a job helps; I'm talking to real live human beings again and a kid who listed "mt. biking and hiking" among his interests applied the other day. Maybe he'll get hired and I can bug him to show me some trails. Then I'll meet other bikers and get back that part of my life and feel even MORE settled.
At any rate, thanks to Shannon and David for their wonderful comments. To David, I must say that the "sad and sorry" comment applied to the quantity, NOT the quality of my posters. :) I know that my folks and my best friend read the Blog, but they never comment. Russell reads and comments from time to time, but NOT ENOUGH! My fellow Larp-er Chris in Dallas reads--or used to--but hasn't commented in some time. I think fellow WoW-er Brian might take a peek now that he knows I'm here, but so far has not said hello. So here's a message to all you lurkers: I KNOW YOU ARE OUT THERE! For the love of pete, just say "Hi" once in a while. It's not that difficult and it will do wonders for my ego--cos you all know how fragile and insecure I am! LOL!
In other news:
I have been given the task of making devliled eggs and perhaps a "jello salad" for Thanksgiving Dinner at my sister's. I had previously informed her that I love to bake and do some really good deserts--that I'd even do a veggie or fruit tray if needed. And the email I get today informs me that I've been given deviled eggs and/or jello salad. WTF? I think I can manage the eggs. Jello salad? Not only does it sound gross; I have no idea what it involves. I'm pretty sure it's the POLAR OPPOSITE of baking.

True, friends who read do not necessarily post. I see blogs as mostly one way communication. I am starting to think people have abandoned email/IM/text-messaging for comment posting on blogs. I guess I am old fashioned and stuck in 2003.
Devliled eggs? Jello salad? Is this a 60s, early 70s-themed Thanksgiving party? Those food items belong in the Gallery of Regrettable Food

I'll have you know that I STILL have that email/link to Regrettable Foods in my inbox. Funny funny stuff. Maybe I should refer back to that for my Jello Salad. Perhaps then I'll be exempt from bringing "edibles" to any more "family" functions (I use both terms very VERY loosely).
Glad to see you here :)
Baby,
You can ALWAYS bake for me. Infact, I think you are getting a bit rusty and need to practice some more.
1. Loaf cake
2. Pine Bark Cookies
3. Peppermints melts

[a. F. dessert (Estienne 1539) ‘removal of the dishes, dessert’, f. desservir to remove what has been served, to clear (the table), f. des-, L. dis- + servir to serve.]
"1600 W. VAUGHAN Direct. Health (1633) II. ix. 54 Such eating, which the French call desert, is unnaturall"
1626 W. SCLATER Exp. 2 Thess. (1629) 270 "Curre-megients, who scarcely know any other sentence of Scripture, yet..haue this of Paul in their mouthes; worke for your liuing."
The suggestion that the first syllable is cur, the dog, is perhaps worthy of note; but that of Dr. Johnson's 'unknown correspondent', cur méchant for F. méchant cur, 'evil or malicious heart', is noticeable only as an ingenious specimen of pre-scientific 'etymology', and as having been retailed by Ash in the form, 'from the French cur unknown, and mechant a correspondent'!
Dessert cur méchant? Have you cooked up some evil pudding? And are you going to tell us the story?
Or am I the evil correspondent, contriving such cruel stories about teh day's dishes?
happy post-t-day. :)
psssssst...hello?
