Merry Halloween Happy New Thanksgiving!

That should cover most everything for 2010 and the beginning of 2011 just in case it really is still June and I sleep for the next 6 months.  Group hug.

Busy.  (n)  from the Julispeak dictionary~

A 4 letter word that is too small to mean something so big, too indiscriminate to justify why I haven't had time to shower in a week* and too time consuming to explain.    And really, busy?  Izzy is a silly sound which makes you a silly word.   Now go fetch me a clean towel.

After slicing a couple of London Broils and marinating them overnight in my own Ancient Chinese Secret recipe I have spent the morning with my sense of smell being accosted by Beef Jerky.   If you make your own, you know what I'm saying.  It is taking every measure of self restraint to not open one of the dehydrators and snatch up a piece or 10.

I bought myself a couple of Christmas presents and they arrived today.

I've only just skimmed through,

but both are loaded with

beautifully inpsiring

eye candy

and what appear to be

excellent instructions.

I decided to split the $50 from my last post and send $25 to 2 people.  After reading so many emails from so many people in need it felt like the right thing to do.  I wish I could do more, but know that every single of one you is in my prayers and that you are loved.

*I kid.  It's been 2.
