Hey **taxi** , I’ve been wanting to change for awhile and I finally found something that I liked. Some people get a new car every couple years, I get a new name. 😃 It’s based on the book of the same name by Diane Mott Davidson. ---

Good morning everyone. I’m up and about for the second time today. I was going to go ahead into work, but felt pretty crappy, so I bagged that idea. I suppose I 'll need to pull out my work laptop out and try to get some of the stuff done that should be done on Mondays, but I’m not feeling it. Maybe in an hour or so. Congrats **Soapy**! Congrats **Shadow!** Congrats **Wally!** I’m going to go lie down for a bit again. ---

I have lunched, been to :eek: Wally\*World :eek:, been to the grocery store, napped and now have a chicken pot pie bakin’ away and chili coolin’ down to be put into containers and frozen.

> [@taxi78cab](#): > > Thanks for the link to the granola recipe, **gt** and **muppet**. I’ve been thinking about making my own granola but just haven’t gotten around to it yet. Maybe this is the incentive I need. Has anyone else tried [Claire Robinson’s trail mix](http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/claire-robinson/pumpkin-seed-dried-cherry-trail-mix-recipe/index.html)? Super easy and sooooooooooooo good. Addictively good. So much so that you’ll be cursing me for telling you about it. Dooooo eeeeet. Seriously, this stuff is like crack. It’s a good thing I’m at work, because if I was at home, I’d be sneaking over to the kitchen every five minutes to grab another handful of granola to munch on. 😛 (I basically made the recipe as written, but subbed pumpkin seeds for sunflower, apricots and cherries for the cranberries, and added a sprinkling of cinnamon because proper granola should have cinnamon in it). That trail mix looks pretty awesome. May have to give it a go sometime this week. Can’t believe I forgot to include \*\*Shadow \*\*in my previous congrats post.. so, an extra-special standalone YAY!!! for new jobs. Woot woot! 🙂 In other news, it’s snowing like a mofo outside. Stoopit weather.. doesn’t it know it’s supposed to be springish by now? :mad: ---

Never fear - I am here!! 😃 I had a crazy busy day, stopped and picked up my new specs, took daughter to Bad Chinese because I didn’t feel like cooking and she had class tonight in Leonardtown anyway, and now I’m home. It’s raining (YAY!) and chilly (ugh!) and my sweetie won’t be home till Thursday night (BOOOO!!) I have 2 days to finish my part of the Project from Hell - I may be putting in a few extra hours. Other than that, just another Monday in Paradise! Cheers and hugs to all with happy news. Chocolate for all the blurfers. Assorted smoochies and gropes for everybody. Is it Firday yet?? ---

Dindin at the good Eyetalian place was good. We have decided, however, that the Shrimp Skilletini does not need to be ordered again. That’s the first dish we have decided not to order again and we still have a bunch to try. I gotta admit this has been kinda fun just eatin’ our way through a restaurant’s menu. I’ve never done that before. So endeth my weekstart. It’s back to irk tomorrow. Le Sigh. Ima take me some knockout sinus stuff in a bit and lie upon the bed with the teevee on til it takes effect. Nitey Nite Y’all! ---

Bleh. Why am I constantly hungry the past few days? I haven’t been doing anything out of normal (except for the trip to the beach, but that was Saturday!) I’ve got three loads of laundry started and now I’m going to work on homework… which admittedly I was supposed to have started at noon. But better late than never, right? ---

Ugh. I’ve been everywhere this evening running errands and grocery shopping. I’m ready to go home but I ran into a snag. Sam’s didn’t have my medicine in stock so now I’m at another pharmacy waiting. **Swampy** , you’ll be happy to know that I bought a new vise and a large pair of pliers tonight. 😃 ---

Congratulations for all with the happy news! This is definitely an upbeat MMP. It’s about time we got happy! I had a rough day, but I’m home now and dinner is in the crockpot, smelling yummerific and waiting for me. I made pot roast. **Swampy** , I made individual chicken pot pies last night. They were good, but the crust stuck to my soup bowls (the kind with the handles, for French Onion soup.) Today Mr Rebo found some nonstick pot pie tins on Amazon. 🙂 Dipsey’s aunt stopped by to visit yesterday. (Turns out it’s her sister who owns him.) Sis has been out of town for what seems like forever, and Mom and L’il Sis are going to try and talk her into giving him up to us. He’s due for the vet (she had a reminder card from the same vet we use!) I told her we would take him to the vet for his shots, but only if he’s ours officially. He has spent the night for the last eleven nights, and we feed him, and don’t let him out to run the streets anymore. He’s a sweetie. (We took all three to the dog park Saturday!) I’m just rambling here… Have a good night, everyone, and may more good things keep happening to the Mumpers! ETA: I like your new name, **StickyBuns**! ---

Wow, all this happy news. All I can say is: Yay! and Congratulations! and Welcome Back! Good thoughts, though, for Irish Boyfriend and his family. Am home with freshly-cut hair and a new lunch box (yes, these were unrelated events). Also chocolate and bread. Need to get some de-cluttering done, then maybe I’ll knit or something.
