Latest update... 10/15/2012
Now I'm posting using my MiFi device... whoopee!!!
I've been knitting a red hat for my own personal use. I hope I'll be able to get some yellow yarn to make a hat for Nicolas. I'll need larger needles, it will be fun.

Grrr... I am pissed.
It's time for me to sic the legal authorities on my ex! He owes me $1100 and has stopped paying.
I guess it's time to call the sheriff! My divorce decree says that he can pay me $100 a month until the whole $1500 is paid off. It also says he has to pay 12% interest.
I wish I had a lawyer! If I had had one to represent me when I got divorced, I would have fared better.

Just about jumped out of my skin!
I had this hanging picture in one of my windows. It was hung on one of those suction cup hangers... the darn suction cup lost suction and the wooden picture fell down onto the window sill!
That startled me so badly I nearly wet my pants!
Nothing is broken... I think I'll grab my book and head to bed now.
Goodnight!
Good morning!
Actually, it's closer to lunch time. I need more coffee creamer... they don't have anything suitable at the store across the street from my new place. They do have a cappuccino machine, though... hmmmmmm maybe I'll drink that tomorrow.

My biggest issue at the moment is that my washer and dryer don't fit in the area set aside for that stuff... it's set up for a stack-able set. Hmmmmmm... now I need to trade my old appliances for stuff that will fit. I guess I'll make a run to the laundromat until I get the new appliances.
Until next time....

Moving!
I am pissed off at my oldest son, who doesn't seem to take the necessity of getting boxes so we can move, seriously.

Almond-Oat Strawberry Shortcakes
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/3 cup slivered almonds
- 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, divided
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 cup chilled heavy cream, divided, plus more for brushing
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled, sliced
- 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier or other orange liqueur (optional)
Preparation
-
Preheat oven to 375°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pulse flour, oats, almonds, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt in a food processor until finely ground. Add butter; pulse until only pea-size pieces remain. Add 1/2 cup cream and 1 tsp. vanilla; pulse until large moist clumps form. Transfer to a work surface.
-
Knead until dough comes together, about 4 turns. Pat into a 4x6" rectangle. Halve lengthwise, then crosswise into thirds. Arrange on prepared baking sheet. Brush with cream; sprinkle with 1/2 Tbsp. sugar.
-
Bake, rotating sheet halfway through cooking, until golden brown around edges and a tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Set biscuits on a wire rack; let cool. DO AHEAD: Biscuits can be made 8 hours ahead. Store cooled biscuits airtight at room temperature.
-
Meanwhile, combine strawberries, 1 Tbsp. sugar, and Grand Marnier, if using, in a large bowl. Toss to coat. Let strawberries sit, tossing often, until juices release. Whisk 1/2 cup cream, 1/2 Tbsp. sugar, and 1/2 tsp. vanilla in a small bowl until peaks form.
-
Cut warm or room-temperature biscuits in half; place bottom halves on plates. Divide whipped cream and strawberries over. Top with remaining biscuit halves.

Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookies
Overwhelming sadness
That's all they are, dreams.
Longings put to pictures when I'm asleep,
Remembering those days in my childhood when I got to ride.
Maybe I was just teasing myself,
Adding fuel to the fire of things that won't become reality.
Remembering Kimmi
Born 13 months and 10 days after me,
Childhood playmate,
Teenage confidant,
Doting aunt to her nephews,
Shoulder to cry on.
You left me before I was ready to go at life without you.
I had thought that we would grow old together,
Our children would grow up knowing each other.
I might have been older... but I didn't expect you to leave my life while I was away.
I thought you'd still be there when I got back.

Footprints on the windshield
We start to make plans to explore other scenic places near where I live the next time he comes to visit. I love this area, it has so much to offer in a calm, sedate way. Away from the hustle and bustle of the larger cities, like the one where he lives. I like visiting the big cities from time to time, but I prefer the slower pace of life where I live.
