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 ...

To the zit at the lower right corner of my mouth...

You are the very definition of perseverance, little guy. You have survived what no other blemish could. Through Neutrogena , Ten-O-Six , and Clinique; even Differin , Doxycycline , and Retin-A , you have fought the good fight. Now you are faced with a new enemy -- one which has felled all of your brothers. You are there, the lone pimple, keeping on. Sometimes, I think you are gone, starting to fade, but then-- there you are again! Strong as ever! Don't you think it is time to call it quits? I mean, really, the strain has got to be getting to you. In fact, I think you are looking a little dried out and tired around the edges. And with the arrival of the new white hand towels , your brief reprieve has ended. Tonight you will once again face the sulfur masque. It doesn't have to be this way-- the choice is yours. After the masque comes the glycolic acid, then, the piece de resitance -- the 5% benzoyl peroxide. That's right, I am playing hardball, just like Norah O...

Some thoughts on activism...

Yesterday, John got me thinking about activism with his very well put essay on Christian rehtoric. J and I were discussing some things last night as far as our own perceptions/ experiences with activism. My brother-in-law commented in the ensuing discussion the we could perhaps extend this reasoning to WTO protesters and Americans who complain about illegal immigration. I see his train of thought, but I think there are a couple ways the issues differ... No matter how frustrating Illegal immigration may be, it is not directly a life and death issue. War is just that. The people who die of exposure in the deserts of Arizona and other border states are ultimately there by their own choice*, whereas many victims of war are not. Chrisitan pacifists are claiming higher moral ground for their beliefs, and they may well be right. I'll wager that, come judgement day, God will have a laundry list for each of us, and whether we voted for hawks will be the LEAST of my transgressions. ...
