halt stop forget relax

I realize I haven't written for awhile, like not since before Halloween, which is only a week ago but seems like longer. It's just that I haven't had anything to say. My brother brought over a homemade pumpkin pie on Halloween. I told him if he would do that I would give him some Johnsonville Brats that I had frozen, only to discover that they have MSG in them and so Lynn can't eat them. I was counting on her to cook them in a frittata for us, but finding that that wasn't going to happen I offered them to my brother in exchange for a pie. He makes a good pumpkin pie. So we were a little dessert heavy last week with the apple crisp and a pie to eat. They were both quite good, and now I'm wishing we had something else homemade and tasty to nosh on. Alas, there's nothing made, and nothing in the house to make anything with. We definitely need to go grocery shopping. I got a couple Land's End things I ordered: a mock turtleneck and a cotton cable knit cardig...

I can be such a dimwit. I do things to my computer that I KNOW I shouldn't do, but I see something and recognize the intrinsic cuteness of it, and then I remember that the Borg were right: Resistance is futile. Which was why, after I got a really cute E-mail from JC today telling me that I had won her "pay it forward" that I went on automatic pilot and said Gee, this is really cute! I want me some pretty e-mails like this, Here I'll just click this little ole "install" button and get me some. So I did. Then I remembered that I am no longer the brightest bulb on the tree and that when it comes to all things computer: Simple is Best. So, I decided to "uninstall" the cutest little e-mail program, and reverted to dimwit status. DH, however, came to my rescue, and I am happily back to my Mozilla Thunderbird program which works just fine, indeed. K.I.S.S. I have been working on re-learning to crochet, so I got out some old acrylic yarn to practice wit...
