guess what i'm doing? yup. baking zucchini bread!! i keep finding monster zucchinis that i missed, hiding in the zucchini plant. cut out the seed and pithy middle, and get baking. Chris, dunno if the almond flour zucchini muffins freeze well or not. i generally eat them for breakfast every day...

oh, Sara. poor kid! poor Mom, too! it sounds like you need another pediatric dentist. this one obviously thinks she's on an assembly line. :rant:

hiya. making more zucchini bread this morning, since it's only 58 degrees outside and there's no chance of the house getting too hot with the oven on. as i'm doing this, i'm feeling so happy that i have a zucchini muffin recipe that i can eat that uses almond flour. just the SMELL of baking...

hi, Nancy! we posted at the same time. sounds like your trip has been wonderful!

'morning. the sun is shining and it's about 60 degrees here. going up to a whopping 73 degrees. my FAVoRITE kind of weather. now if you could just put the Rocky Mountains in the distance to be seen from my back yard, i'd be a happy girl. i've been making and freezing zucchini bread for days. i...

howdy. i wasn't up at 3:40 a.m.!! well, i was up at 2:52, but this morn i was able to fall back asleep, so it's all good. having a bit of a nausea adventure for some reason, but that'll pass. maybe i'm preggers! :pound: :rofl: Chris, the crab thing sounds fabulous. we went to one of those...

Sara, that second one is my "here, Piggy" bird. thanks! i thinks that's the chickadee.

http://www.soundboard.com/sb/Chickadee_bird_sound Chris, the first call is the "here, Piggy" one i was thinking of. is that your "cheeseburger" one? apparently chikadees make a ton of different sounds! we better consult Jean!

Chris, is the your "cheeseburger" bird? i always think of that call as, "here, Piggy," because i had a German Shepherd named Piggy. i never knew what bird i was hearing, but now i do! http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=l41nXK4ZdUA just be glad it isn't a chipping sparrow. when i have one of those...

Chris, sorry the Bun died. It was probably sick, and that's why it was just sitting there in the road. nature can be brutal. it's a pain to have cuts on your fingers. all those nerves there, so everything is amplified a hundred times. i'm pretty sure a person can die from the pain of a paper...

Trudy. HIIIIIIII!!!!!! hope you guys get some sleep soon. well, if misery loves company, i've been up since 3 a.m. for apparently NO reason, so at least you have a reason! and a CUTE reason, at that. eventually i guess they all start sleeping better. Grandman #1 was a pip, and he's ok now. but...

howdy. Chris, get rid of the wild rabbit. like NOW!! you have a wooded yard. put him out there and let him do his thing. it's the best and the right thing to do. these rabbits are not for home use. and in terms of bunnies in general, they will chew your wood and electric wires if you let them...

Chris, would it help if you painted over the bright stuff with primer first? more work, but at least there would be a better chance that the old bright colors wouldn't be seen through the light color she wants. either way, it sounds like a two coat job. erg....:faint2: how i hate painting, and i...

here's me in the dining room again. except today i can walk into the kitchen because the cement board is done. but Tile Guy is working in there, so i can't hang out in there. we're making progress, though. this floor should be finished on Monday. i'm still refinishing the kitchen cabinets, which...

EEEE!!! Sara, what a cutie!!

hiya. i find myself in the preposterous position of being marooned in my dining room. well, sort of. my tile guy is here starting on the kitchen floor, so i put the cat back in the library at one end of the kitchen. the family room is at the other end of the kitchen, and the dining room, living...

hi, Sara, Nancy. a low-key day for us, too. but, wow. our weather!! if you could imagine a perfect day, this is it. sunshine, blue skies, breezy and in the mid-70s. we NEVER get good weather for holidays. but we surely did today. the whole weekend is supposed to be ridiculously pleasant. Hubby...

yawn.... well, here's me, car-less for yet ANOTHER day. Chris, sorry about all your car confusion. at least my parts are still available and i don't have to BE anywhere. do be careful out there on the road. and remember to just STOP and take a few deep breaths during all this confusion. scream...

...and something BIT ME on the leg twice while i was asleep last night. :rant:

fly-by! fly-by! :plane: i am TOTALLY without a car. the mechanics were able to take the thing today. hopefully it gets FIXED today. in the meantime, i am hunkered down in the AC, cleaning my family room. ick. discovering dead spiders and stuff. damn the wood stove!! absolutely the route into my...
