Catching up on my RSS reads - still. I’m sooo happy to have Bloglines up & running again. I {heart} Chrome! And I never thot I’d say that.
How does it always sneak up and be dinner time so soon? It’s time to make the meatloaf! ; )
We have about 3 inches of snow. The kids spent hours outside this morning. Now to do some house raising. : )
The last tray of everything is in the oven. I have gingerbread EVERYWHERE. It’s on every surface in the kitchen & dining room! lol
Rolling out & baking gingerbread houses. Having a blast. : D
IT’S SNOWING!!! All 2 dozen flakes. That still counts! lol Good thing I have the first double batch of gingerbread dough chilling.
Aawh what Mom’s do in the name of tradition. Hopefully the kids will be down from the sugar high by Christmas. ; )
It is 10:06. There is no snow. ; ) bwah ha ha ha… I’ll probably make dough anyhow. They’ve been waiting (?patiently?) since Nov 1. lol
I woke up this morning with a kid in my face informing me that the radar shows it’s supposed to be snowing by 10 am. Snow = Gbread Houses

Had a neat connecting day. Saw one of my favorite older ladies for tea and chatted with a Bible study friend that moved away. Nice
It seems my social life is either feast or famine. Anyone else find that?
I wonder what else is lurking on my bookshelf waiting for “such a time as this”…
I always find it curious how books I pick up “just because” end up being fresh & needed at some future time & I “just happen” to have them.
I started reading John Piper’s “Seeing and Savoring Jesus Christ”. This past year has left me needing more spiritual grounding & reminders.
Soy Boy tofu raviolis, oh how I love thee. Enjoy supper all!

I dislike FF, but I’m all over Chrome. I can read Bloglines again without begging the page to load in IE8!! {bliss} Good links coming soon!
Even though we give to the Salvation Army, I always feel guilty about NOT putting anything in the 9 million buckets out there in December.
Salvation Army Bucket Strategy: Now I get $15 in dimes. Every time I pass a Red Bucket, we toss in several dimes. No guilt, exact donation!
No blip for this one, but wow. It brought tears to my eyes: http://tinyurl.com/yzemhd7 Thanks @mandythompson
I’m currently uploading the 4 wrap skirt tutorial videos I did this summer. So sorry to those waiting. I forgot they were done. #sewing
It was one of those run, run, run exhausting days. I’m so glad to be home and have dinner almost on the table. Hello Miss Singer!

I went wild and downloaded Google Chrome. The jury’s still out. Let’s see what Twitter addons it supports… hmm
☼☼♥♥ I don’t know, for on the fly, BigTweet might not be so bad. hmm ♥♥☼☼ Obnoxious special characters are fun! ; )
I happily dejunked my sewing room yesterday & then finished the Edwardian style lace petticoat I started draping in July. {aaah} bliss!
Now to start on those flannel dresses I promised Ana two winters ago. :blush: Good thing the fabric is already prepped!!
It’s turkey rice soup for lunch!! : ) Anybody surprised?? lol
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Ours was just us with good food, great company & all my vintage dishes & silver. Sparkly. : )
Cleanin’ in my sewing area because I’ve got the itch to sew. I had some young sewers sewing and it looks like a bomb went off. : p
A Blessed Thanksgiving Everyone! {{hugs}}
We even managed to homeschool a bit. ; )
It’s been a big day. I baked 2 pies & a double batch of rolls, braved the grocery store & watched a movie with my hubby who came home early.
What Twitter search terms do you use to find good deals and frugal, money saving tips?
GOOD gluten free pie crust? Hard to believe, but Shauna’s recipes are amazing. (I’ll skip the lard & use butter.) http://tinyurl.com/yzlfe5z
lol Love this Muppet skit for Thanksgiving: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Qj8PhxSnhg hehehehehe
Here’s some yummy vintage inspiration for the day: http://www.vintageous.com/v5756.htm WOW!
I have fried TweetDeck’s brains by changing my username. Gotta love it.
Don’t forget to say thanks to your mail carrier - especially if they’re nice. I gave ours cookies yesterday & he swooned. : )
Please note I changed my Twitter username from JanelM to JanelMessenger.
Morning all. Actually I’ll tweet like a rockstar after a nap. ; ) Have a terrific day!
I just finished reading @AlliWorthington Twitter book. Worth the read. I shall now tweet like a rockstar… Tomorrow. Night!
