213/365 Leftover
I had a lot of fun messing with this one. The cookie is long gone, but the photos remain.
212/365 Jar
Have you ever bought food simply to get the container it’s in? Anyone know what to do with this stuff? Just curious.
Did you watch last night?
Mr. Al and I actually made an effort to watch part of the Olympics yesterday. It’s not really our thing, generally, but the skating stuff is fun and we got into the skiing, especially when a Montana boy made good. Did you bother to watch? Warning, this is just a TV promo video thing. I couldn’t find anything from last night yet.
Rocks
Here’s a quick and easy “recipe” for you. Or maybe a tutorial. You know that sugar cookie recipe from last Sunday? When you cut out the shapes you end up with dough between. The more you work that dough, clumping together and re-rolling, the tougher the cookies get. Rather than getting tough cookies or wasting the dough, loosely scrunch it together into rough balls and bake. Instant rocks.

A blue sheen off of a barrel shape in Drew’s hands caught her attention even faster than the angular shape of his oh-so-sexy and oh-so-naked rear. “What?” She lifted he head. “Shhhhhh!” Drew spoke without making a move. He hunched into the window, one […]
Lover’s Lane
Walking between two cars, Drew ignored the noisy love of a shallow woman. She screamed, she moaned, she panted in uneven rhythms matching the rocking of the car. Cheap diva. A furtive movement came from the other car, then a hand pressed against the glass followed by a suppressed moan. His every nerve lit up. The challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to write a story in exactly 55 words. Click on the badge to go to the […]
13 Ways to Tell He Loves You
1. He thinks your extra weight looks good on you. 2. When you totally lose your cool and spend half an hour ranting about the idiot neighbors who don’t know how to take care of their dog, all he does is smile and nod before pointing out they don’t know how to park either. 3. He does the dishes without your having to say a thing. 4. Though he grumbles, he will walk miles to fetch something for you just […]
Ah Maria, the Whole World is Against Her!
Queen Maria Theressa of Austria took over an empire already teetering on the brink of ruin. Her crown had hardly warmed to her head before Frederick of Spain decided to take a chomp out of her kingdom. This sweet young girl with no formal training had to face a bevy of enemies, including the ambassador from England. One remarkable fact began to impress it itself on everyone at the time of Sir Thomas Robinson’s meeting with Her Majesty; they weren’t […]
