- I'm working on a little 300 piece puzzle of a wood fairy. And it's kicking my ass.
- I opted not to condition my hair today because the humidity level in the house has been good the last couple of days. So of course it's dropped and I look uber-frizzy.
- For the first time EVER both Moxxie AND Nugget went three days without peeing or pooping in the house.
- They've more than made up for that today. I was fit to be tied.
- Moxxie is a digger and since we're having super warm weather (was 58°F today) she's again tracking mud through the house. (the snow melted and turned the ground into pure black mud)
- I've mopped my floors more today than I have in a month.
- Of the three kids I helped make, only one kind of favors me. The other two started out looking just like my sister. Now they look a lot like Mike.
- My glasses broke tonight.
- Speaking of unexpected expenses, Ancestry.com hit us up for $77.70 because Babygirl and I both thought the two week free trial was a month's worth.
- Ancestry.com, when I called them (in shock!), was kind enough to reverse the charges and cancel the subscription. All I had to do was ask. Once. That's customer service!
- I've decided since I can eat some fish now, I want to branch out and try scallops.
- I added some dried mushrooms to a creamy wild rice and mushroom soup tonight. The dried mushrooms were rubbery. I must have done it wrong.
- Bear's FB avatar used to be a picture of a cat wearing a bag on it's head (cut out to look like a helm) while commanding a dog to "Bring me a shubbery". Still cracks me up to think about it.
- I've been waiting for months now to play GuildWars because my son said he was going to get it and play with me. I'm ready to give up on him and reintroduce myself to my ranger.
- Moxxie loves the hell out of Nugget and cries loudly when he isn't with her. Nugget loves to clean her ears and will sleep with her, but is cowed to her when she plays. Because she bites his fat rolls.
- Also, she won't let him have toys or rawhides. I have to put him in my lap or beside me when he has one so she won't take it. It's become a huge problem. She's the sweetest bully you'll ever meet.
- Used to Nugget would run down to the basement when he needed a break from Moxxie. She's now figured out how to get down there with him. He's not happy.
- It's almost 4am and I haven't been to bed yet. My sleeping habits this year have been horrible.
- What's worse, I'm not resting when I do sleep.
- We switched to a cheaper brand of fish-oil pills a few months ago. I stopped taking them a week ago. Stomach pains (when I take my vitamins) have stopped. Completely. Go figure.
- And speaking of 'teresa is stupid' I went six out of seven days (in one weeks time) with stomach cramps and the runs. The one day I didn't was the one day I didn't make coffee. It was day eight that my sinuses finally cleared and I smelled the HORRIBLY RANCID milk I'd been putting in my coffee. I knew it didn't taste right, but .......
- Mike and Babygirl should be home some time this week. He has to deliver in MN by Friday so I'm assuming he'll come through the house. I can't wait! It's been far to quiet as she's been gone since Thursday? They left out (for a days trip that was blown out of the water once they were in Chicago) last Wednesday or Thursday. I forget. Feels like forever.
- I'm going to bed. And without checking this post for errors. 'Cause that's how I roll these days.

Scallops cook properly are delicious. Overcooked they're horrid.
ReplyDeleteI can't find Ranni Rambles, which I accidentally deleted instead of the old Cap'n Condi. Sent you an email, glad I found Quack This...thought you had given up this blog, too!
I didn't get the email. Thought I'd sent you one about moving everything back over to Quack This. I've got six years of blogging back under one roof so Ranni Rambles is here, too, as is Cap'n Condi. I was thinking about giving up on blogging because I don't feel compelled to do it daily or even weekly sometimes, but getting rid of Rambles (I did think to back it up) I decided to put Condi and Rambles here with Quack This and just blog if I feel like it.
ReplyDeleteWorking on categorizing it so I can find things easier, but MAN. That's a lot of work!
Read that you want to remove the scallops from the pan while the very center is still a bit translucent to keep from over cooking them. Will aim for that when I try them. Saw Pioneer Woman's recipe on the bacon wrapped ones ... don't want bacon wrapped anything but do want to give scallops a try. Supposed to be pretty good for you.
