Low-carb

I've completed my first low-carb weekend with little trouble. This morning, my head is pounding due to a sinus headache, though. I hate pollen. I hate allergies. I want to physically remove my sinuses from my head, but seeing as how sinuses are in fact open space, it's not possible. I shall pout instead.

Ick and Mo

Our friend Bunny lost her cat Mr. Mo. He fought hard through surgery but did not make it. I cried when I heard. I lost my cat, Iccus in January, and I still miss him dearly. I'm not the only one. Miss Yuki has had a difficult time adjusting. Sometimes she still walks the house looking for him. Sometimes I think I hear him, in the early mornings 5 seconds before I wake up.

Holidays Are Coming!

Today is November 14, and holiday season is starting to heat up big time! While driving back from Jacksonville yesterday, my mother and I took some time to plan our family's Thanksgiving meal. It's next week, you know! Tora and I are in charge of the idiot food: I get to prepare the green beans and he does the rolls. I think I'll saute the beans in butter before I boil them in mushroom juice and sugar water. That will make them superyum! All Tora has to do is pop the parkerhouse rolls in the oven to heat them. Christmas will be small this year. Mom and I have agreed (and she will spread the word through the family) that no one is to spend more than $10 on a gift this year. I'll be making cookie tins for everyone. I plan to make gingerbread cookies, almond cookies, a chocolate-pistachio phyllo roll cookie, and Tora's favorite, my oatmeal raisin cookies. I'll take off Christmas Eve from work, and with the weekend preparing the yummies, I should be able to present family with fresh goodies on Christmas Day.

Fracture

Penguin fractured his elbow. Penguin also slept through his alarm clock twice in a week. Penguin is tired. Penguin vows to not take the meds that make him sleepy.

Poor Penguin!

I added

I've added three new links. One is to my friend Sarah's blog. She's an artist. I love her work and her blog. Heck, I love her!

I next added Patience of Paper, my friend Amanda's blog. She love to write! She's also a cool, wicked little thing.

The third is for my partly new beauty blog, All the Pretty Little Things. I took the ThisNext list and converted it to a blogger format. I like its new digs. Very pretty and far more personalized.

Okay, okay!

Alright. I watered those little flowers yesterday, but I didn't get to the mowing. I'll do that tonight along with deadheading the flowers and roses. I'll have to pick the dead leaves off, too. Then clean the bathroom? The evening is beginning to fill up...

Inexplicably Tired

I have no clue why I woke up so tired this morning. My alarm went off at 6:15, and I just wasn't ready for it. I laid in bed for another 20 minutes, but I just didn't want to start the day. Lately I've been going to the gym to work out in the mornings. Not today. I've had a weird headache, too. Not that that's odd, I always get headaches, but there's usually a reason for them - stress, rain, etc. There isn't a reason to have one today.

Harumph!

Recipes!

The man and I received recipes galore from our jennyfriend, and boy do they look good! We're definitely trying some of them this weekend.

July and August in my neck of the woods is so hot and humid. I don't even want to go outside to water my flowers. As a result, they're dying. Southern Summers just zap the energy right out of people. I should water today though, and mow the back yard. Then shower and maybe a short nap...
