This is great and all, but they need to shut down the mobile site too. I’m still able to get on via my iPhone.

paging aimee and noelle

i paused this in the middle to reblog

i can’t stop laughing

the best part is that two people took time out of their day to do this

they could have just slapped the actual song over it

but no

they had to sing it themselves

I

think my whole day is worth it now

Lilo is very sleepy today.

She is also pouting about being left out of Pancake Sunday.

We got our tree! It’s an eleven foot Noble. It smells magical. I’m pretty sure that certain smells DO connotate magic, so I’m expecting something awesome to happen once we get this tree decorated.

We found a great tree farm in Carnation. The farm there has been owned and operated by the same family for over a hundred years. Their farmhouse is on the National Historic Register. They have a bakery, a gift shop, Santa appearances, an espresso stand… I’m so in love with this place. They’re also dog friendly! I can’t wait to bring Lilo next year.

Our tree will stand in the garage for the next couple of days. I think we may trim it on Wednesday. I have to move my writing desk into the bedroom before we can get the tree into the house.

Also… spell check is telling me “connotates” is not a word. I know it is. It is from the Latin “connotare”. I looked it up. But, apparently, “connotate” was replaced by “connote” almost a century ago, so to say “connotate” instead of “connote” is pretty archaic. I, however, have said “connotate” all my life.

Am I archaic?

I hope so.

This also happened this holiday weekend.

Thanksgiving 2011 has come and gone. I’ve cooked the feast now several times, but always at my Mom’s house. This was my first year not only handling all the dishes, but hosting it in my home. 

I didn’t get time to snap any pictures of my sides, which included two kinds of mashed potatoes, yams, stuffing, brussel sprouts with red onion, bacon and pecans, and two kinds of green bean casseroles. 

The turkey is filled with carrots, garlic cloves, celery, apples, sage, thyme, and rosemary. It’s covered with wildflower honey, sea salt and cracked black pepper.

The pies are pumpkin, apple and sugar-free cherry (for my Dad).

Ditto.

I hope your Thanksgiving was amazing, Rae!

We also went and saw The Muppets, which was as pitch-perfect a movie as I’ve seen this entire year. It is as much for adults as it is for kids. I absolutely loved it. 

The best part of the day, of course, was just getting everyone together in Vasant and I’s place and serving them Thanksgiving dinner. I’ve waited so many years for this place to be finished. Last year, for various reasons, it didn’t work out for the dinner to be here, but this year it did. It was wonderful having everyone in the house, laughing and eating. 

Although, I have less and less of an appetite each successive year I cook this meal. You’d think working so hard I’d be famished, but all I want to do is nap by the time the ten hours of cooking reaches its end. 

I have an appetite tonight, though. It’s time for leftovers!

Loved having everyone over to our place. Sarah’s turkey is the best I’ve ever eaten.

Also, we had pie for breakfast this morning. This is what the holidays are all about…

Caramel Stuffed Apple Cider Cookies

itzjustmo:

I had to find this delicious recipe after Kit reblogged a mouth-watering photo of some of these cookies.  Had to share.

Mojo, you’re a genius.

I make these. They are pretty damn popular. People flip out for them, actually. Vasant calls them “Erin Cookies.” 

Erin cookies are the best!

ALSO. this.

Where’s Claire at?

This made my day. He graciously took part in my attempt to get my friends (Sarah and Vasant) to come to PAX. This is why Wil Wheaton is famous. It’s because he can have fun with normal people just like a normal person. 

Had to break my weekend Tumblr fast for this. Can’t believe Will (thedoctorb) did this. This is what qualifies you as a friend till death: whether or not you can get a celebrity to start a feud with us. 

Vasant and I are still freaking out about this. 

More to come later… (Seriously. More will come of this.)

So begins the preparation.
