G-Man texted me from school yesterday. This was his very important message:
“Could you ask grandmother to get some nacho cheese?”
Apparently, nacho cheese is worth the risk of having your cell phone confiscated.
I recently discovered that driving through a shopping center with my zippy, little car in sport mode is a lot of fun.
Do you see the same cars over and over again on your drive to work in the morning? I do. I’m pleased to say that the college professor who drives the brand new Nissan 370ZX, grey with maroon interior, has FINALLY learned to shift gears! Gosh, that was painful to watch repeatedly.
The BBC TV show, Top Gear is extremely entertaining. On one episode, the hosts reviewed and discussed Porsches. They joked that Boxster is German for, “I can’t afford a 911.” One of my dream cars is the Panamera. Driving down the road one day, my Sweetie asked me, “Cayenne is German for what?” I replied, “I can’t have a Panamera because I have two kids and a Great Dane.” No, I don’t’ have a Cayenne. Nor would I ever turn one down.
For Thanksgiving this year I was asked by the boys to make my Yankee Cornbread Dressing again. The recipe is easy peasy. Make Paula Deen’s recipe for cornbread dressing with these substitutions: use cornbread mix from a box instead of making it from scratch, sauteé the veggies in olive oil instead of a stick of butter, and add apples and dried cranberries for that Yankee touch.
If given the choice, I would take pumpkin bread over pumpkin pie any day.
We’re going to my MIL’s house for Thanksgiving. It’s been eight years since I’ve cooked Thanksgiving dinner. I’m beginning to get a complex.
I’ve been tossing around the idea of getting a Kindle. I have a feeling that I would miss holding and reading an actual book. Thoughts?

J got an iPad. He loves is. He thought he would miss the feel of a book, but he does not. Do it. Get the Kindle. you will love it.
The nacho cheese thing made me laugh.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
We're off my family - a 10 hour drive. YEAH! OH NO---no internet at my parents. DRAT, I see my chances for that scarf fading......
As for the Kindle, I see you using that for your light reading, but once in a while, you'll want that ink on paper smell and feel, so it won't totally replace your books.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
I've always wanted a Lotus Esprit. Or a Mazda RX-8. Beautiful power curves on both their engines. Though I'd be perfectly happy with a Subaru WRX.
I thought about e-books, but until they're solar-powered and backlit with expandable memory, and e-books cost $1.99, I'm not going to bother. Used paperbacks are better.
Hi! I'm a totally random stranger who found your blog the strangest way. I was looking up the way to correctly spell stoic and Google had a link to your post "stoic = stupid". I clicked and liked the look of your blog...and started reading...and liked it!
So anyway, thanks for the help with spelling and definitely don't give in to Kindles. Holding books and turning pages and going to the library or even better, the "book mobile"...these are things that shouldn't be replaced with batteries!! (IMHO)
Happy Thanksgiving!
Love random bits. I would stick with paper books. Love all things digital...except my books. The smell and feel of them, and turning the pages, are all precious to me! NACHO CHEESE. I would risk confiscation for a Cheeto text.
the random things in life are what keep me going.
