17. Footie = Football (we call it soccer here)

I'm reading a book of short stories... scary stories. It's an old book... all the stories were written in the late 30s I think. It's all flowery language and idioms i'm not accustomed to.

I'm feeling so down and the night's barely started. I hate days like this. :hug:

I'm getting http://www.audrey-kawasaki.com/2007/galleries.php?g=1&p_id=57 combined as a half sleeve on my upper right arm.

25. Working. Two huge surveys spread out in my living room.

$250,000 (policy limit) claim. I gotta find the cheapest way out of it. It was the agent's fault. Moron.

It'll get easier as I work my way through a couple Coronas.

[lost-in-nj]

29. Gonna get my Coronas in a few!!!

are you an insurance adjuster????
Are you fair????

:)



lost

I know you are.... you are a kind soul

[flvegan]

36. Insurance, but not that kind.

I'm with a title insurance underwriter (real property or "dirt 'n buildings").

I'm in management, but I'm an ace examiner, so I get troubleshooting duty when it's big dollars. We're very fair, and folks will get paid (an error was made) but we have to fix the problem so everybody's property is free and clear.

Thanks for the compliment!

Gotta go grab another...

[lost-in-nj]

41. So you would be the

"go to guy" if I wanted to buy in Florida???
Fort Myers to be specific????

[flvegan]

54. You got that right.

I can set you up with a mtg broker if you need one, title company, etc.

32. Just got in from dinner and a walk

And right now, I'm fixing to rickroll somebody. :evilgrin:

Hope the snow doesn't bury you too deep :hi:

[lost-in-nj]

44. I HAVE BEEN RICKROLLED!!!!!!!!!!

lost

[no name no slogan]

50. glad you like teh rickrollll

I've got a 1.5 mile circuit I try to do every day. I also have a 1-mile roundtrip walk to/from my car at work, so I do that too. I still haven't got back into the gym thing like I was last spring/summer, but I'm working my way back to it. If it gets any colder I suppose I'll have to head back in there.

It's amazing how much things change when you quit the cancer sticks, huh? Your lungs don't want to jump out of your chest, you don't hack up a lung every morning... it's definitely worth the agony of quitting.

Thanks for the kind welcome back... it's good to see you again! :hug:

[otherlander]

37. Doing schoolwork

I made a salad w/ lots of Balsamic vinegar :9
And a veggieburger

I'm sitting here just contemplating... :shrug:

something we can help you with???

:hug:

[Flaxbee]

38. later, I'll make pancakes and watch Project Runway

;-) Weird combination, but it's become a ritual. I love breakfast food at night!

But now, I'm studying how to get more people to visit an affiliate website I have to crank up sales! Not terribly exciting, which is why I'm posting this right now instead of reading about the oh-so-fascinating world of marketing.

[lost-in-nj]

47. HEY

Breakfast for dinner was a favorite meal here

when everyone was home......

we made sausage to.......

what kind of sales???


enjoy


lost

[Flaxbee]

49. when I was a kid, still starving after dinner, my mom would

break out the Bisquick and we'd have pancakes and eggs. Delicious! Now pancakes are my comfort food & I've found a recipe I really like.

The site is for software sales, specifically graphics/3D/2D/photography stuff. It's just an affiliate program (you know, click thru to the advertiser's site, if someone buys, you get a percentage), but I set it up over the summer, then my sister's cancer came back and she had to have major surgery and I went out there for that, then her house almost burned in the SoCal fires, then my husband and I went to Russia, and then my niece got married and... I just haven't had time to promote it. Phew! Things have quieted down here recently so I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. I'm pretty clueless - seems like site promotion is really an art -- but I'm trying to learn because I'd like to set up a few other sites in the coming months.

[lost-in-nj]

53. youv'e had a hell of a year....

Is your sister ok????
Russia!!!! WOW

Bisquick is great

we used to make the coffee cake ALL the time

the pancakes are to die for...
add blueberries and lost is in heaven.......


lost

[Flaxbee]

57. oh, blueberries!

I spent a summer in Rhode Island and the blueberries were just heavenly. I put them in almost everything I could think of, and then I'd just get lazy and plop a boxful into some cereal and keep eating them. Sigh. Good stuff.

Sister's OK, had chemo before surgery, now going through her 3rd week (of 7 weeks) of radiation. Her husband is back home (he was in the Antarctic when she had her surgery - they're scientists who have to fulfill their contracts in order to get paid, so she told him to go ahead and go b/c I and another sister would be there for her) so she's got some good support. She's strong and positive, but resigned to the fact that she'll probably be dealing with this for the rest of her life - her doctors have told her that for her, cancer will probably just be chronic from now on. Periods when she's healthy, and periods when she's fighting it. So, just something I don't think about too deeply, you know? Otherwise it could be a real bummer.

Anyway - thank you for asking. Didn't mean to write a treatise on it!

Third trip to Russia; St. Petersburg is a spectacular city, and much, much easier to travel to/within than it was when I first went there 8 years ago. Lots of renovation, much more westernized - not that that's necessarily a good thing, but it does make getting around a bit easier.

46. Tired, angry, hungry...

Yeah, violated is the word for it. I'm just happy that my wallet and enclosed credit cards/subway pass/IDs are still with me. :)

We'll figure out something, not sure what yet. We've both had one of "those" days...

52. Living the life of the single parent

Mommy is working late so me and Josie went all over creation trying to find me a pair of slacks.

58. Pouting

I went to the store to get ingredients for fudge but forgot cream. I went to make it after putting on my PJs and then realized it. Once the PJs are on, I'm staying home. I'll pick some up tomorrow and make it then, I wasn't making it for tomorrow.

60. Five minutes away from heading out to a steak dinner...

...my attorney is treating me and another one of his friends. The place we're going to is well-known for high-quality, perfectly aged steaks. I'm also waiting to hear back from a friend regarding whether or not she owns a pair of stiletto heels.

Yes, it's a steak and stilettos kind of night.

:hi:

[Oddball]

74. yeah, I'm trying to ..

..follow this CSI plotline about one comedian murdering another and the attendant cynicism and psycho-pathology and socio-pathology of the character's material and along comes a dancing Viagra commercial.

Is Irony Possible.

I can't get smiles to work but I waved back :)

[Inchworm]

62. I am super.. but

I am not sure what happened today. I didnt drink. But, I think I was abducted by aliens. Twice, in fact, because there was an odd rift in the time continuum. 9am to 10am seemed like an hour, but so did the time from 10am to 4pm. 4 to 5 was again normal... then BAM! It's 8:30!

I do not feel violated in any way other than the theft of time.

I shall crack a beer soon and debate the possibilities in my mind.

I also miss someone. Hmm.. I can hope we were both abducted and used in some weird alien porno they had a fantasy about and then erased our brains. No evidence of this whatsoever.

Hubby's at his Holiday work party.

I got home a bit early after doing a workshop. Polished off the left-over cold sesame noodles. On my second cocktail.

Lurves lolcats. I submitted one of our girls a few months back. Didn't make the cut.

[fudge stripe cookays]

78. Crappy.

Tired, lonely, crabby.

I'm missing reprehensor terribly. Our house closes on the 20th, and although I was eager to leave, I'm getting homesick, and I'm beginning to miss Texas. I don't know if we did the right thing. At least when he's here we'll be together again. Although it won't be til after Christmas.

I'm stuck at a consulting gig I hate right now. If they can't backfill me, I'm stuck there for 6 months. And nearby friends have all been uncommunicative in general lately.

I'd be going to bed every night at 7 if I didn't have to walk the damned dog. I'm too depressed to do anything else.

[lost-in-nj]

82. I hear you

about missing someone.......
You are someone I remember when I lurked.....
I hope you have happy days...
I hope reprehansor can visit soon.......

when he gets there you will be

86. Sitting down for a much needed break

after mixing up and refrigerating two double batches of biscotti dough (orange-poppyseed and lemon-anise) and forming up the batch of dark-chocolate-rum ganache into 37 rolled bits, ready for coating. The coating chocolate is still a little too warm and my feet a little too sore ;) The first set is in the freezer so the coating chocolate will set faster and the second batch of extra-dark ganache (no added alcohol) is on the counter to warm up a little.

I made the mistake of trying to form the first batch into the little balls for truffles when it was too hard, so some of them are a little lumpy. Most people don't care so long as it's rich and delicious :9 I'll bake up the biscotti tomorrow night when the doughs are easier to handle and I can sit between bakings :D I will also add any decorations to the truffles with either the white or milk chocoates.

I think I'll try some of my Sabra (chocolate-orange liqueur) in a batch this weekend and see how that turns out...
