The average human walks 900 miles per year and drinks 22 gallons of coffee.

This means that the average human gets approximately 41 miles per gallon.

As already stated, I'm not one to be bothered by something like that. My day was full o' matinee and other stuff, and I wasn't even online the rest of the day.

I'm here for just a short time now, because we got THAT WHITE STUFF and I need to go out soon and start working to clear it. The dreaded 7:30 a.m. rehearsal is now at 10:30 a.m. And so it goes.

last night No health issues last night, and then I slept very wwll, so that's pretty good, I think. My anxieties continue with grief last night from my co-writer about the CD release of Moonshine and Mistletoe, and I am not happy about the situation. I'm fighting the impulse to reply with inquiries on why there was no production this season after last year's success.

We got 2 to 3 inches, and I hope I got enough driveway cleared with the snowblower to get us all out for our various obligations this morning. It's supposed to get up to around 40 and maybe rain later, and I sure hope it does that in time to not freeze overnight.

I hope, I hope, I want, I want...

The mixing bowl is the one my mother always used for mixing everything.....she got it from her mother.....so I kind of like the history of using it.

The morning could have been a complete and utter disaster, but the weather gods gave us JUST as much as we could handle, and the school rehearsal was delayed JUST enough to allow me to get the cleanup done and myself cleaned up and get over there in time. A few other little things, too, happened just precisely in a way that got me through. So I finally am back home and I get to sit back and breathe...for the rest of the day, I hope.

Tomorrow the 7:30 a.m. rehearsal is on, but I can get my ASS up and get to that, it's not that big a deal. Not after today, when I had to get the ASS up and outside to do hard labor. Now it'll seem like a piece of cake.

Perspective. It's what's for lunch.

Unfortunately, Doug Haverty, who, as you know, does all the stuff for the Kritzerland site, has been in Florida with his wife much more than he was supposed to be - believe me, it's caused problems for him in other ways, but his wife had surgery and he had to be there for all of it and some of her recovery.

And because of the old software he uses for his site - he refuses to upgrade to the latest version because apparently they made lots of changes to it and he doesn't want to learn it, which is silly - and because that old software is only on his main computer here and because for whatever reason he can't get it on the laptop he uses in Florida, nor can he get it on a hard drive to use from there - he explained the reason, which made no sense to me - he can't do it until he's back in early January, when we WILL announce it. There are titles he has to take off-sale because we don't have anymore and he can't do that either - it's ridiculous and I told him he has to solve the problem. Will he? Doubtful.

Unfortunately, Doug Haverty, who, as you know, does all the stuff for the Kritzerland site, has been in Florida with his wife much more than he was supposed to be - believe me, it's caused problems for him in other ways, but his wife had surgery and he had to be there for all of it and some of her recovery.

I hope she is recovering well.

My anxieties continue with grief last night from my co-writer about the CD release of Moonshine and Mistletoe, and I am not happy about the situation. I'm fighting the impulse to reply with inquiries on why there was no production this season after last year's success.

Hopefully, all the issues can be resolved quickly!!

Now and then.....not so much now since I am watching my avoirdupois.....I used to make this.

I think 7-Up cake would be a lovely finish to a meatloaf meal.

And speaking of meatloafs, I have a folder on my computer where I save recipes (Word docs, PDFs, images, etc.), and found this recipe picture in the folder:

It looks pretty interesting.  I'd certainly try it...if not actually make it. ;)

It's been years since I've had it, but Costco used to have a really good soft, raison-less fruitcake.  It was very good, and not like the stereotypical hated fruitcake.

The reason for late notes was because I got a streaming screener for Wicked and watched all of that.

And by that I mean the meatloaf is in the oven and the mixing bowl in soaking in the sink......headed for the dishwasher in a bit.

The mixing bowl is the one my mother always used for mixing everything.....she got it from her mother.....so I kind of like the history of using it.

I shall probably give it to one of my sisters soon......

That's really cool to have an item used by three (and possibly four) generations!

Randy Rainbow has a new song. I see it in my recommendations, but I haven't listened to it yet.

Update: It's brilliant.

I totally agree!!
