Afternoon

My computer is making me crazy I am going to see if the hubby can take a look at it. Hope everyone is doing well.

[bluets]

holy mountains! I forgot how flat southern Indiana is compared to eastern/southern Kentucky and Tennessee.

Yes, Maia - SE Wise Women is where I'll be, starting tomorrow. I've PM'ed you

And tomorrow is October!

Did I mention that I am ahead of Halloween this year? I've already made ds's Star Wars jawa cloak for him - now we just have to figure out what to do about the glowing eyes... and what to wear underneath.

The deer demolished my garden but I am apparently adept at growing squashes. I had some bizarre zucchini x winter squash hybrids, my first homegrown acorn squash, and various small pumpkins. Since I'm the only one who really likes winter squashes, I discovered a great way to eat it: bake it, then scrape out the inside and save. Use about 1/2 c. or so (I didn't measure) and 2 eggs. beat together. add some cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice or apple pie spice. maybe add some baking powder (I didn't but I will the next time). Make a BIG pancake in a frying pan. Let it cook on med heat. FLIP (this is the tricky part - it usually falls apart). Drench with maple syrup.

Now I'm hungry and the portable food I've got with me in this not-so-inexpensive-yet-cheap hotel in Knoxville is nowhere near as appealing as a winter squash pancake.

October, october, the beauty of.... OCTOBER!

I keep getting kicked off the computer today so I'm gonna keep this short... have a beautiful blessed and bountiful last bleepin' day of September. September 2010, you shall not be mourned.

Onward into glorious, healthy, financially solid, car starting joy, peace filled October. Wherever and whenever we all may be!

Oh, girlfriend, just wait'll you get here! I'm used to it now. But when I first came out here, I used to clutch the handle of the car door with my eyes closed, singing "We All Come From The Goddess" to myself to keep from freaking out
Hint: do NOT drive on the other side of the center line around the curves

i do have experience on curves driving in WV. but those are rounded lumpy hills compared to the mountains just north of knoxville.

Valerie - YAY!
[i have a new car too, but it's a rental and for that $16/day of "insurance", i can send it over a cliff in a pique of anger and not be charged for it.]

and for those who are being hard on themselves, i received an email from gardenplum.com today (weekly sales?), and it featured this thing on self love: http://tinyurl.com/2dlwg94
they have some lovely things there... maybe i'll wear something to the party on tuesday

AZ: mexican food. lol at least for me. lol ahh the spice!

ds#2 is 9 today. the backpack full of explorer goodies was a HUGE hit, he loved it. dh did it up real good. binoculars, magnifying glass, compass, canteen, field notebook, lantern, and i got him a bag of cool rocks. plus my folks got him a new scooter and we picked him up a "ghost hunter" computer game, a football and a new helmet. he was so happy. made homemade pizza, rootbeer floats and a triple chocolate cake. he was in heaven.
