UPDATE: WORDPRESS ATE MY PICTURE. WTF?
I promised my faithful readers a final blog entry about my trip to Louisiana. It has taken me a couple of days to really gather my thoughts – a hard task when you’re coughing up a lung. Tonight, though, I thought I better write about it or I’ll never do [...]

Good-bye Blue Necklace. I hardly got to wear you.

I am home and will have real blog posts (and pictures) in the next few days. For now, you should know that I am a bit annoyed with freakin’ NWA. My necklace is now broken (it was ceramic) and I had that f*cker wrapped up pretty good. Plus, my bag of coffee was punctured somewhere [...]

It’s official. I am sick. I’m hot and sticky, hacking and drippy, and all around miserable. My friend D. has given me five packets of this stuff called “Emergen-C” which is like a mega-overload of Vitamin C and some kind of B vitamins. I’m on the second doze (the stuff tastes like baby aspirin), so [...]

(11:49 a.m.) Yes, I am sick. I’ve been here approximately 24 hours (give or take 15 minutes) and I’m already hacking and wheezing and dealing with drippy nose issues. Either I am getting a cold from riding on the plane with sick people or I am having the allergy attack from hell. I’m thinking it’s [...]
Travels with Disenchanted, Tropical Storm Style

Well, it’s been an interesting day. Got up at 4:45 a.m. because I needed to take a shower before The Coach took me to the airport for my 6~ish flight to Baton Rouge. Now, I am not a morning person, so this was quite the challenge for me. Luckily it was so cold that I [...]
Crap.

Well shit. I guess I better pack my barf bags and my umbrella. See that little thing called a tropical storm? Yeah, it’s going right under tomorrow morning’s flight path. Now, I know the pilots will fly high to avoid turbulence, but still flying in those little crap ass planes makes me slightly nervous to [...]
Behind, always behind.

How can I work so hard and be so far behind so soon? Yes, it’s been one of those days. I had grand plans to work on my R&R today … but now it’s almost 5 p.m. and I haven’t even started yet! WTF? I ended up prepping for my grad class which took until [...]
Adventures in Baking: Scones
Posted in The Foodie Files, tagged Foodie Files on September 3, 2007 | 3 Comments »
It’s Labor Day, so I decided to labor in my kitchen. No seriously – even though it’s hotter than hell outside, I decided that I wanted to give my new mixer a test drive. Plus, I’ve been thinking about making my own scones because *$ has gotten pretty damned pricey lately. I downloaded this recipe [...]
