I've been bitten by the Domestic Goddess bug. Last night I cleaned out our bedroom closet, and this morning, I worked ahead on meals for the week. I finally got the new wreath made for the living room fireplace, and I've been working on a "to do" list for the coming month as we get ready for my step-daughter's wedding. I did all the little stuff that takes up so much of our time, watering newly planted seeds, starts from the nursery and houseplants, laundry, dishes, making the bed. It's amazing how many hours get frittered away in a day with stupid repetative chores! I love how my home looks when all the chores are done, but I sure hate having to do it again and again and again......
DH and I both had appointments at the eye doctor this afternoon. I was surprised to find that just my left eye prescription had to be tweaked. I always assumed that both eyes changed a little bit at the same time, not independently. Isn't it astounding what an exam and a pair of lenses can cost??
I've been dozey all afternoon, so it's going to be an early night, but I stopped in to read the blogs that T has linked for me. I saw Jet's comment about Desiree's blog, and went to visit. When I started reading the comments there were FIFTY-THREE of them. I haven't learned to create a link yet, so you'll have to go read JET's blog.
The subject matter there is pretty deep. It started out being singles who seek out married people to have an affair, and somehow morphed into marrieds having affairs with marrieds. And then it became a two way conversation. The important thing is.....I was reminded just how public blogs are. There are times when I'm tempted to say personal things, and this was a superb reminder of just how public this forum is. You can't assume that you are anonymous, or unread.
Sooooo, with that sobering though in mind, I'm gonna toddle down the hallway and grab some zzzzzzz's. Good night, all!

yes, it is public. And... the person that is so concerned about public first wrote about the affair in his blog... then, he thinks that the husband shouldn't have access to the blog? *shrug* can't figure him out.
I've never had so many comments to a post... too bad it strayed off to the direction it did. (oh... still didn't make the soup.)

Desiree, I suspect getting lots of mail is fun, when the subject matter is lighter. It wasn't even my mail, and I found it upsetting.
About the soup, girl...you better get going! What are you going to do when I post the next recipe???
Jamie.....Did I miss something here? Am I supposed to be waiting around for you to BITE ME?? What have I done now???

That's a start Desiree. :-) Let me know when you've made the soup. I'd like to know how you would change it to suit yourself.
This is good soup weather. Still chilly, and still rainy. I have to plant a HORDE of stuff this weekend, so a pot of soup would be great after all that work. Cheddar chowder, french onion, Navy bean, clam chowder, shrimp and corn chowder......which should I make???

Ummm.. very cold here today (but I made a casserole instead of a nice warming soup) ... I'd suggest (of the soups you mentioned) that you make the chedder chowder, yummm... sounds delightful! Then, tomorrow some French Onion would be wonderful.

That's a really good one, and it's easy to make. Too bad it's not a heart healthy soup. I make it once or twice in the winter, generally when we have someone to share it with, so we don't eat it all ourselves. I think Fred's fav is the French Onion. I like it baked with a crouton and cheese over the top. (See a trend here??) WHat casserole did you make?
