Project Me (3) a bit late~

I've had a horrible week, I really think the entire universe is out to kill me!  Included in this is most of my family, a lot of my friends, people that I thought I jammed in the skeleton closet years ago, work, NCAA football, NFL (Ok mostly the niners) and definitely Tony and Darian(grrrr).

It rained, several days so I didn't walk.  And then I didn't walk when it stopped.  I did buy a battery for my scale. Of course it's still on the Home Depot bag.  I barely read at all.  I did make a lot of pepper jam (yum)  and in honor of finishing the annotated Alice in Wonderland (including all the notes):



Color is actually a much brighter blue.  But the name of the polish is :

Alice in Wonderland!! 

Avast Mateys!

Aye, 'tis the day again! Have a grog then, and round up all those bilge rats that have been angering ye, and get them up on the plank Arrrghhh!

 And I'll share with ye all, the pirate that shivers me timbers !

Answer, Owls, Comedy

For those who read my post yesterday here is the answer (at least part 1) of what I'm doing with all those peppers:



2 different recipes of jalapeno pepper jelly and 2 of hot pepper jelly ( has some habeneros and jamaican gold peppers as well as jalapenos)  There are other peppers slated for home made hot sauce (haven't done that in YEARS, so we shall see.)

The Temple Owls beat UConn's Huskies today 30-16.  Angie went to the game (she's actually been to all three home games)  It was an important game for her, as UConn, made a serious attempt to get her to enroll there, but she chose Temple.  She is a real fan of their new coach Al Golden (I think his 2nd year?) Obviously the decision was not a sports based one (although Temple's fencing coaches have a great reputation, and UConn only has club fencing against local schools) but winning never hurts!

Your Inner Muse is Thalia

You are most like this playful muse of comedy. Life is all about laughter to you, and you're a natural comic. You make people laugh until their sides split. And you're always up for some play time!

So guess what I'm doing this weekend??

MMin & Grace are not allowed to guess - you guys already know!

 

Jalapenos



The little peppers are tabasco peppers, the bigger ones are hotter than habeneros!



Another bowl, with habeneros on top.

You Are High Strung and a Bit Wild

You are a dynamic, vibrant person. You aren't afraid to pursue your passions. When you're happiest, you are outgoing and expressive . You love celebrations, and you enjoy showing off a little. You embrace change. You love change. You see change as a rebirth. You find solitude to be the most comforting thing in the world. Being alone with your thoughts feels very peaceful. Your ideal day is active and full. You like to keep busy with your favorite things, and you appreciate a routine. You are nostalgic. You can't truly appreciate something until it has come and gone.

Thursday Thunks: Do Elephants Come With a GPS Installed?

The TT questions are brought to you by Berleen, the color of my kitchen table and the number 45.

10. What number blog post is this for you?  702

9. You are driving down a road and your GPS says turn right, but the road has a Dead End sign. You check your GPS and according tgro it's map, there is a road at the end of the Dead End road that you need to turn onto. Do you follow the GPS?I don't use a GPS.  My husband and daughter have them.  I use google maps and a printer.  ( my phone does have 3 different navigation apps loaded onto it already, so I guess I technically do have one, but I don't use it)

8. If you had a $2 bill, would you spend it? I got a 2 dollar bill a few years ago, I gave it to my daughter who still has it.

7. When there is nobody else around and you sneeze or cough, do you cover your mouth?Gross question, but yes!

6. You are a DJ at a radio station and your first guest is Bud... what is the first question you are going to ask him? WHy he didn't bring his lady?  ( I'd want to dish with her)

5. Have you ever stopped to help a stranger with a flat tire? No.  I did stop to help someone whose roof carrier had opened and their stuff was being blown around the road.  Have you noticed that there seem to be fewer flat tires in recent years than the 70's when I was growing up?  Are the tires better?  Do people change them more often (doubt that)?  Is it the north?  Was it the fact that I was in Texas & NC? are there more flats in the south?

4. You get on an airplane and you find that your seat neighbor is Kimber... what do you talk about or do you ignore her completely?  I don't think I know what Kimber looks like?  I think that the only two thunkers I might recognize would be Bud and Thom.  But in all seriousness.  I get on a plane, I put my i-pod on, I fall asleep.  As soon as we start descending I wake up ( I guess it's the altitude change?) SO really Kimber, if it was me - don't feel bad! I wasn't ignoring you on purpose!

3. Have you ever rode an elephant? Yes.  County fair.  Angie was 4 or 5. She wanted to ride the elephant, she was scared, Curt wouldn't ride the elephant.  Do I get good mom points for that?  I rode a camel that day too!

2. Time to bitch & moan! What is your biggest complaint about your current friends on Facebook?I have no friends on facebook.  I mean I know some of my friends are on facebook. I am not, will not, won't.  DOn't ask.  I am on twitter though.

1. School is back in session for all little girls and boys now. What, in your life, changes when kids go back to school? well this year Angie is living in a dorm a bit over 2 hours away.  SO I can run naked with scissors.  But it's been cold. And I have no where that I need to get scissors too very quickly...
