Public Announcement

Good Deale Bluegrass Festival
 My husband meets "Stinky" while waiting in line for Funnel Cake. Stinky wasn't really stinky at all.  Sportin' my Thrift store treasure--a monkey on a John Deere tractor! I thought it was appropriate headgear for a Bluegrass Concert. |

Thanksgiving Dinner Dissected
 Scott's Thanksgiving Dinner Scott's dinner from top clockwise-- 1)Biscuit. My dad and Scott had a biscuit bake-off where my dad shared the "great secret family recipe for perfect biscuits" with his son-in-law. No girls were allowed in the kitchen at the time. 2) WTF! I have no idea what this red congealed mess is! All I can say is I hope my husband didn't eat it! 3) Peas. No explanation needed. 4) Mashed potatoes. ALL NEW!! Now with almost 1/10th potato content from the family farm (aka our backyard garden). 5) Corn pudding. Looks gross tastes great! 6) NOT turkey! AHA fooled ya! This is Quorn roast! A vegan turkey substitute that tastes delish! 7) roasted potatoes and carrots. Baked alongside the quorn roast. 8) Yams. Yech! 9) Green Bean Casserole. Center. In Conclusion: My husband ate lots of potato products for Thanksgiving. With almost no ill effects...with very little ill effects...really I don't think his lack of enthusiasm at the 50 Christmas Craft Shows we visited the day after Thanksgiving could be blamed on "potato overload." For more pictures of the Thanksgiving weekend including pictures of the "largest train display in Southern Maryland" located in a Harley Davidson/Motorcycle repair shop visit my photos here |

Study Number 2: The Domesticated Housecat
A year ago a scene like this would have set me into a frenzy of photo-taking and calling the family to let them know "the boys" were on the same bed! ON THE SAME BED! Today this is pretty much old hat. (It still makes me grab my camera out of maternal love and adoration.)  Here was the scene a little less than a year ago--the one where Scott and I practically popped open a bottle of champagne and celebrated. It was a cold day and the house was so chilly we were all bundled up. We thought that it was the cold that drove these two together so we spent the next 2 weeks turning down the heat to barely tolerable levels to try and get these two together again. Yeah.....if you have a cat you know....they NEVER do what you want them to!  |

My Partner in Crime.
Happy 1st Anniversary my beloved husband. Thank you for making my heart light and and my life full of laughter.  For me every silly love song is about you. Love doesn't come in a minute, Sometimes it doesn't come at all I only know that when I'm in it It isnt silly, no, it isnt silly, love isnt silly at all. (Paul McCartney) |

Slippery Slope logic.
Irrefutable proof (via hard hitting newsblog "cuteoverload.com") that my husband is mistaken!!! We can indeed keep ducks in the backyard (as well as bunnies and llamas*)!! Another plus--it is a PROVEN FACT that ducks are hypo-allergenic.** Note: In the video the duck expert says clearly "Ducks DO make great pets." Also: Who wouldn't want to be greeted by ducks when they come home and open the fence gate? *How different could a tiny little bunny or a llama be from a duck? Well perhaps a mini-llama or an alpaca would be a more prudent choice given our low fence height. But still alpacas are about the same size as a Great Dane and I KNOW** we could keep a Great Dane very well. **I have actually no proof of these "facts" but I have strong suspicions they are true! Current Mood: ducktastic! |

"Current Music & Current Mood"
Some cracked up 4-year-old version of this sung in a sing-song voice: "I am slowly going crazy One two three four five six, switch! Crazy going slowly am I Six five four three two one, switch!" Instructions found on internet kids' site read: "Repeat it over and over and over until your head explodes, or somebody forces you to stop. " Um yep that's about right! I counter-attack by putting on a Scottish accent and calling her (my niece) PERRRRRR-Snickety. This makes her scream "I am NOT snickety!" This is met with a formidable combo of: the Spongebob Squarepants theme song and chatter about various kitty cats she knows and whether they have claws and whether or not they are nice and whether or not they can jump high. For the grand final I pretend I have gone deaf and make smacking noises on my lips. I am defeated by a tongue lololololol-ing and fingers in the ears. My husband will be lucky to find either of us sane by the end of the day. I hope he's ready to take us to Chuck-E-Cheese and spend ridiculous amounts of money for skee-ball games....oh and whatever games my niece wants to play.  |

It was a dark and stormy chicken...
It was raining and the fog was as thick as chicken soup. Scott thought he'd pop into the Chinese joint for an egg-roll and some egg drop soup but he wasn't alone. |

Happy birthday to....
....the only man I know who can do a zombie Jackie Gleason impersonation. ....a man who makes me pee my pants with laughter. ....a man who didn't jump through hoops but made me break down my own walls. ....a man who cries just because I'm crying. ....a man who makes pancakes for a girl on her birthday. ....a man who never lost his ability to be a big kid. ....a man who welcomed lots of wackiness in his life with relish. ....a man who thinks, explores and savors each new experience. ....a man who can find any excuse to celebrate when a girl wants to eat at a restaurant. ....a man who is humble. ....but terribly handsome inside and out. Happy birthday my husband. I love you dearly.  My husband doing his zombie Jackie Gleason. Current Mood:  loved |

 "No speed of wind or water rushing by But you have speed far greater. You can climb Back up a stream of radiance to the sky, And back through history up the stream of time. And you were given this swiftness, not for haste Nor chiefly that you may go where you will, But in the rush of everything to waste, That you may have the power of standing still-- Off any still or moving thing you say. Two such as you with such a master speed Cannot be parted nor be swept away From one another once you are agreed That life is only life forevermore Together wing to wing and oar to oar." The Master Speed--Robert Frost |

Happy girl.
 I'm getting married to Scott, a truly wonderful man, on October 25th. Our ceremony is going to be a very simple civil ceremony with parties afterward to celebrate. If you are going to be in the Florida area in October or the Maryland area in November please give me your email (or email your address) so I can issue an invite to you. If you can't come to the parties at least send me your contact info (allison4en6@aol.com) so I can update my address book and send you a little card. Thank you my friends.

Continuing in a vein...Covert Spy Camera Part 2.
 The interior view of the Fireworks and Virginia Ham Store on Route 301 (near the old rural road to Virginia Beach). Seen here is a table displaying both...fireworks and Virginia Ham. Because what would eatin' ham be without a fireworks display? |

Why I love the thrift store. (Covert Spy Camera Part 1)
 Presenting the "Bucktoothed One-Earred Ball" and the "Permed Poodle of Horror"! These and other tasteful home-made objects d'art can be purchased for mere dollars at the Value Village across from Andrews Air Force Base. Alas no Chumbawamba cd's today (sorry Graypumpkin)--but they did have an N'Sync lunch box that was marked up for kitsch value. I was tempted to buy it but I managed to pass. I really shouldn't talk because I went to a "Paint your own Pottery" store recently with a friend and painted a green jellyfish on a coffee mug that ended up looking like Cthulhu.
