I’m guessing that you mean *one of our newest members * is on your last nerve. Well, at least if you don’t mean that, I do. Enough is enough! (And yet still I keep reading) 
:dubious:

Equal parts butter and sugar. Mommy brain. Agh.
Zombie Cake with fresh mommy brains?
Mornin’, y’all. I have a few recipes to post from home tonight.
PieBabe, sorry 'bout the mess.
My eeeeevil little mind is at it again. Hot on the heels of all the mischief perpetrated with Operation Eat Me, I have a new quest, in which I am out to drive my closest neighbor crazy.
Neighbor Fred is about eleventy bazillion years old (well, 82), and he and his wife don’t have 2 dimes to rub together. They are salt of the earth types of people and good neighbors. Yesterday, the county published their list of naughty people who’ve not paid their property taxes for 2007. Fred’s name was listed, for the whopping, earth-shattering and show stopping sum of
$36.12
:rolleyes:
I saw that, and decided on the spot that I’ll pay it for him. Where does the eeeevil come in, with the intent to drive him crazy? I’m going to do it anonymously, and have the county send him the receipt showing paid in full. That will do it to him.
is your ultimate goal to insure you are written in the Book of Life? Because one of the highest forms of tzedakah (charity) is to help those in need anonymously.
eta IIRC, the highest form is to give anonymously and have no knowledge of the recipient(s).
eata: please don’t ask me where those thoughts came from - I took yesterday off to do my taxes and ended up sleeping the whole afternoon into night.
Well, I hope my name is already there, but I can’t pass up an opportunity for some good natured fun, sitting back and watching him try to figure out who did it.
Back when the dinosaurs roamed the earth, and I was still in Indianapolis, I managed to get in line at the local McDonald’s about 3 cars ahead of my back-fence neighbor. She went at the same time each night to buy cheeseburgers for her 2 Huskies. The booger that I was, I paid for her order and drove off. It took her a week to figure out I did it, and the entertainment value was priceless.
oooh- be mean to me, be mean to me!
Afternoon all. I am now officially no longer TB’s underling! I am FREEEEEEeeeeeeeeee!!!1!1!!!eleventy!!!
Okay, I better get changed and go pick the little booger up from MIL’s house! Ciao.
Up and caffeinating, off to work.
I was about to accuse you of LOTR blasphemy in the bitterest terms, and then I realized you said Eowyn, not Arwen.
(Still, no Ents? I…I don’t speak your language. What’s Two Towers without the cry of Entish Rage? A HOLLOW LIE, that’s what it is!)
Have a nice sore throat this morning thanks to Complicated Roommate and his smoking. Speaking of, last night’s bad movie was Dolemite. The final fight scene was so laughably bad I borrowed the DVD to show it to Complicated Roommate (a black belt in kung fu–it’s fun watching bad martial arts movies with him). The best part of the Final Fight was when a pimp was fighting a ho and she knocked his pimp hat off. Like Samson, he lost all his pimp powers and the ho kicked the crap out of him. 
Hooray for Free Dotty!
Will this include black leather?
Yay for freedom Dotty!
I used to think I wanted to live in a cabin. I think at this point in my life, though, I am most definitely a city girl. Give me smog and department stores or give me death!
Cloud Maiden still hasn’t paid her part of the rent. Apparently her mother is refusing to give her money. I’m stretching myself ridiculously thin and paying her back the $600 this month. I had to swallow my pride and ask my parents to lend me a bit of cash to tide me over til next Monday (payday). My dad and I fight over everything, but when I ask for $50 he always gives me $100 with no questions asked. And he won’t let me pay him back. I’m very grateful but in a weird way it makes it more difficult for me to ask him for stuff, if that makes sense. (I guess I am a spoiled Korean American brat! Who knew? )
In other news, I’ve started a semi-diet today. I hate dieting, but I also hate going back to Korea and feeling dumpy (which I know I will, if I go back in my present state). Another reason why I hate it there - anorexia is the norm.
I’ll be in my bunk.

: Lots of Laura Ingalls Wilder references bopping around here…
On my way to work this morning, I noticed that the flowers are starting to break through the ground. The long winter is at last ending. The mini-blue bells, tulips and daffodils are starting to bloom.
<mouse over>*Little House in the Big Woods * and The Long Winter are also Laura Ingalls Wilder Books. </mouse over>
For those of you that like Laura, have you read Caddie Woodlawn? It too is muy awesome. I read it about two months ago. 
Honey, he’s in Jawja, butter is the state spice!
I would love to add my sketti sauce recipe but my measurements would end up being “some” and “a lot.” Oh, well…
snowbunny, when I lived in Wilson, WY, I lived in a small cabin. It had the best wood burning stove. Does yours have an alternative heating source?
We are about to experience some weird weather. The high on Saturday will be 88 and the high on Sunday will be 71 (You Ass Degrees). This had better be the last of the cold fronts because we are itching for a good soak in the pool.
gt, I will probably try phoning them next Tuesday. I have an eye appt first thing in the morning so I can call from home before that.
More later.
Tupug
I will warn you that it’s not in the woods. There are some nice big trees around, but it’s not far off the highway (far enough that noise isn’t going to be a problem) but it’s not really That Cabin that we all want. But it’s by far the closest I’ve ever gotten a chance at!
yawn I didn’t sleep too well, for some reason. Today I need to figure out what I need to buy as far as extremely basic kitchen stuff I don’t have. Also I will need to get a chair, at least. Let’s hear it for thrift stores! For the inflatable bed, I think I will have to buy something new. But I know where to start on that one.
Yay for Dotty!
A ChiDopeFest on 5/31 would be too late for us. 
We’ll be there for Memorial Day Weekend, from late Thursday night, 5/22 through lunch on Monday 5/26.
I’ve got a great spinach salad recipe at home that I’ll have to post sometime. I make it for company or to take to various pot luck type dinners and it always gets rave reviews.
OK, these are the best brownies ever. And they’re really fast and really easy to make.
Fudgy Brownies
Ingredients
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
3 oz (3 squares) Baker’s unsweetened chocolate
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Directions
Preheat oven to 350.
Melt butter and chocolate together. (Recommendation: Put them both into a microwave safe bowl or cup. I like a 4 cup Pyrex measuring cup that I then use as the mixing bowl when I add the rest of the ingredients. Microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring after each session. After the first minute, go to 15 seconds at a time. Don’t burn the chocolate! This can also be done in a 2 qt saucepan on the stovetop on low and then use the pan as the mixing bowl. No point in dirtying two bowls!)
Stir in sugar.
Beat eggs in a separate bowl or cup until slightly frothy. Add to chocolate mixture and stir well.
Stir in vanilla.
Add in flour and mix until smooth.
Pour into a greased 8x8 pan.
Bake for ~20 minutes. The edges will pull away from the pan a bit, but don’t let them go until they get dry. The center will still be soft but a toothpick inserted in the middle should come out clean.
Let stand for at least 15 minutes to finish setting up. (You can remove them before this if you can’t stand the wait, but they’ll be really gooey and tend to fall apart before they’ve had a chance to cool a bit.)
Enjoy!
I love Caddie, although I feel like she hasn’t aged quite as well as Laura. Still a good comfort read though.
I can’t commit to a Chi-fest - I’ll be leaving in mid-June and life will be hectic between then and now. Especially if the fest is out in the 'burbs. I’ll do my darndest though.

I received a suggestion to also label my mumper’s names. I will go and do that this afternoon at work, unless someone objects.
Also, I gave the link to Ma since she wanted to know what I’ve been up to and I think she’s leaving comments on some of them. Anyway, if you see a comment from “Ma” you know who.
Now to go and start laundry and get ready for work.

They took my grandpa to the hospital this morning via ambulance because he was dizzy and coughing again. I just got a text from my dad saying that he seems ok and that they are in a room waiting for a doctor now.
