Bad News

Our uncommonly warm November just turned to friggin cold today. I had to very sadly turn off the cooler to the house, because our "high" temp was 71.
Yes, I know, all you midwesterners are saying "Boo Frikkity Hoo!!"

T day

While everyone else seems to be getting ready for their T day, my T day is turning out to be "Truck Day" because I'm hustling to get some very important things done for an upcoming truck show I'm producing.
I'm trying to get grant money from the city to help pay for advertising, and they've got me jumping thru hoops.
Have no fear, we'll still have a Thanksgiving dinner--it'll just be accompanied by lots of truck discussions.

I am The Birthday Queen

Even though it's not my Birthday, I must proclaim my throne. I've apparently figured out how to make a Birthday party exactly what it needs to be.
Steve's daughter's 16th b-day went off with very few snags, and she seemed to be really happy about it.
The chef at the restaurant put together a GORGEOUS cake that could have rivaled something from that Ace of Cakes show. Holy cow, I was expecting a plain old chocolate cake. He really went overboard. I wish I had a picture of it, but my camera was out of film by the time the cake came around. And since the cake was a little late (it was an hour after we'd finished dinner, and we were STILL waiting for them to bring it out) they kept giving me free Martinis. Never had a Martini before then. Kinda interesting. I had one called the "Whodunit" it had red rum and O.J. in it. GET IT??? Ahahahahaha!!!
