Oh, how I love my spam email! I was just now flipping thru my several email accounts, and in Yahoo, there was one that told me I could “Lose weight with Raspberry Keytones!!” What’s the natural key of raspberries? Is it a harmonic of strawberries? That sounds more like a band name: Raspberry and the Keytones, available for weddings and other events. 😃 ---

> [@FairyChatMom](#): > > I’ve already culled the waffle iron, and I’m pretty sure the ice cream maker is going also, as well as the old blender, since I’ve gotten a new one. There’s also a funky hand-held blender thingie that my MIL gave me some years back and I’ve never used it - out it goes! This is the same MIL who gave me a salad shooter. Seriously?? That’s long gone… You’re getting rid of this stuff so soon before the Kounterfest & Kitchen Appliance sale[sup]TM[/sup]? You got rid of the salad shooter??? That sounds so much better for a duel than a trout or mashed N.O.T.! 😛 (\<– sticks out tongue to lick up the dressing that was shot at me with the salad shooter.) ---

I’m offering everything to my daughter this afternoon when she comes by. What she doesn’t take will be available during CounterFest. That could make for some interesting party favors. 😃 The salad shooter wasn’t all that much fun. No range to speak of, and it was a pain in the patoot to clean afterwards. Plus everything was cut on a curve. By the time I got it out, put it together, cut my veggies, cleaned it up, and put it away, I could have hacked up twice as many veggies and only had a knife and a cutting board to clean. Guess everything is dry enough to be put away… ---

Shivery Blurf. Defeat has been admitted, and heating is on. Forecast says we might have heavy\* snow tonight and tomorrow- I hopes it does, ‘cos I don’t have to do anything tomorrow, and I wanna make snowmen 😃 You can all come have a snowball fight at mine if we get some! It’d go with the mumper food fights and stuff that have been goin’ on lately. 😉 \*By UK standards- I somehow doubt we’ll get more than a light sprinkling by real snow standards… I can hope though. ---

Hey guys! I’ve been busy weaning my kids off TV and computer time, so I haven’t been around much, but I’m trying to catch up! I got pretty scared when my 9yo told me she has no interests in life other than sitting around soaking up pixels. She’s doing more interesting stuff now that I’m on the case. Meanwhile, today is awesome because I’m having steak with chimichurri for dinner, and my blog totally blew up, breaking my previous views record by over 1,000 views!
