Feast One hundred sixty-seven

Appetizer
How much money do you plan to spend this upcoming holiday season?


Our budget is really tight this year, but was always pay cash for Christmas. See, Mom, I did learn something!

Soup
What was the last television show you watched, and was it good?

I watched The Unit online yesterday evening. Yes, it was very good.

Salad
If you had to paint the walls of your living room tomorrow, what color would you choose?

I would go with a nice sage. I have a thing from green these days. Alas, we are stuck with Dover White.

Main Course
Name something clever or practical you have thought of that should be invented, but hasn’t yet.

I had an idea for something the other day, but it has totally left me.

Dessert
List 3 things you would like to receive as gifts this upcoming holiday season.

1) The King Arthur Flour Whole Grains Baking cookbook. I checked it out from the library and am completely enamored of it. I looked for some of the recipes online, but no such luck.

2) Visits from family. Any family at all; we are not picky out here. There is simply not any money for trips East like we have done in the past. We will be lucky to even get back there once in the next year.

3) A wok. Flat bottom, high-carbon steel. I keep dropping hints to my Jonathan about how the cookware at restaurant supply stores is good and cheap... time will tell.


Ok, so today's post is something of a cop-out. My only excuse is that I am completely worn out and am going to Jon's gig on the hopes of seeing his Aunt and Uncle. Good night, all!

Dine with others here.

Hi Kelly! This is my first visit to your blog, and I knew as soon as I saw it that the design was by Susie of Bluebird Blogs. She did mine too, and I love it! Your blog is lovely in both looks and content.

Feast One Hundred Forty-six

Appetizer Name something you think is “the best.” Fisher's Popcorn is the best snack food. Ever. Soup On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 highest), how stressed are you today? Today was a 9.8 all the way. Fortunately, I have a super-understanding husband who lets me vent and gives me time to get over myself. Yay Jon! Salad What kind of cleanser do you use to wash your face? Until one week ago, when my eyelids swelled up, it was ProActiv . Now I am using Neutrogena . Anyone want some Proactiv? I have two unopened cleansers, and one each of the toner and repairing lotion. Ugh... Main Course Tonight is a blue moon ! What is something that you believe only happens “once in a blue moon.” Once in a blue moon I can get one over on my husband. Maybe. He's pretty quick-witted. Dessert When was the last time it rained where you live? I don't remember, but it has been a couple months. This is the Mojave, after all. We are actually coming up on our "monsoon season" in

I think most folks my age grew up in either a Star Trek house, or a Star Wars house.  I grew up in the former, with reruns of the original series (which my parents liked, but I couldn't stand) and my beloved TNG.  I'm pretty sure Wil Weaton's presence had at least a little something to do with my enjoyment of the show.  I love to ask Alexa for "tea, Earl Grey, hot," or instruct her to "make it so."  In case there was ever any doubt, I am a bit of a nerd.  Case in point, I researched which term to use: nerd, geek, or dork.  Dweeb also came in to the equation, and I found a really cool Venn diagram to help: So, here I sit in my nerdiness, thinking about the coming months and all that they bring.  Each year, I seek a new word to guide my thoughts and actions.  I pray and meditate on scripture during December to see what God has in store for me.  For 2017, the word was abide , which certainly summed up so much of our life with Imogen at home; 2016 was

7 Foods for 1 Entire Month?

On the recommendation of a friend, I just finished reading  7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess .  I may begin speaking to this friend sometime in the future...  Just kidding.  Really, though, this book has simply wrecked me. Wrecked me. I have been praying for some time about living a gentler life.  I am not, by nature, a gentle person, so this would have to be Kelly getting out of the way and allowing God to step in. Of course, I was also trying to control exactly what I would let Him have!  How typical. {sigh} Recent events have forced me to give up some control- specifically over changes at work.  I really wish that i did not need to learn lessons the hard way, but that simply is not the case for this girl.  Anyway, 7 has given me a starting point, a way to loosen the death grip of control I have on my life.  Here's the scoop: Jen Hatmaker (author, mother, Bible teacher, and all-around pretty-cool-sounding-chick) embarks on a seven month journey with her family.  In
