In a Minute

I made it through a year's worth of posts. Sometimes it was easy to think of what to type and other times I wanted to type about how I had nothing to type. Something always popped into my head in the end, even if I needed a day or two to reflect on it.

Happy new year!

Just In Case

Since I'm not sure I'll be home in the next day or two, I packed up some baking supplies in case I get the urge to bake something for New Year's Day dinner. The possible baked goods are: pecan butter cookies, gingerbread (since I didn't make any gingerbread cookies for X-Mas), a bundt cake (since I got a new pan for X-Mas) or chocolate chip cookies.

There and Back Again

I'm back at home after being stranded in Lorain. I hitched a ride with my godson and his mom tonight so that I could retrieve my car and collect the newspapers and mail that accumulated while I was away. Back for good? Who can say?

Spinderella

I got in the borrowed car this afternoon to get some lunch and the first left turn I had to take caused the car to spin almost 360 degrees. We went back home, adjusted the car's power switches, put it in second gear and took what we thought might be a safer route. On the left turn this time, the car spun into the oncoming traffic lane. We turned around and decided to eat leftovers at home.

Picture Me

I hate my camera more than usual. The battery is crap, it's bulky and I can't connect it to the computer very easily. I don't know whether I'll get a new camera or a new battery, but if I want to continue taking pictures I have to buy something new. Luckily, I got some cash and gift cards for Christmas.

End of Days?

I haven't decided whether I'm going to continue this daily blog into the new year. Probably not. I've been lazy in my posts for most of December, and I can't see getting better in January.

Serving Size

Holiday overeating is in full swing. I tend to eat what's in front of me and Christmas is all about endless supplies of cookies, casseroles and appetizers. The worst is being served a double-sized portion and eating the whole thing. How are you supposed to not finish a meal that someone else dished out for you?
