I don't think I've been on here in a year, and it's been a busy one. Things that happened during that time... my ex got a job, so we didn't have to sell the house and move (yay!), one of the older kids graduated from high...

Kelli M Yeah, the death of the dog was hard on us for sure. We knew he was getting older, but thought there would be more time.

With Halloween literally right around the corner, I figured it would be a good time to talk about some "haunted" places. I may keep this series going after Halloween, or I may shelve it until next Halloween. Only time will tell....

Kelli M @Tina30219 Some find it kind of weird, but I like it a lot. It's like a spicy gingerbread.

I am sore and am calling myself done for the day--unless I get an extra boost of energy this afternoon. Right. I tried to clean the area around the right side of my computer desk, and found myself mostly pulling...

Please note--I am not asking who you are voting for! I was curious as to how many people have voted early, or plan to, this week. I did vote early. My reasoning in it was a bit strange but...it was better than not voting at all....

The Bay Area is an odd place to live. We have the Pacific Ocean, redwood forests, live oak forests, Mt. Diablo, Golden Gate Park, and Tilden Park. You can fish, kayak, hike, and swim here. All in the same day if you're so...

As you all know, I bring home free things from work when they're being discarded from inventory. Recently I found several bags of ground coffee in the discards area, but this was no ordinary coffee -- it was organic Peruvian...

Kelli M @much2say You could probably add a few spoonfuls to your coffee grounds in the brewing basket.

Kelli M @TheHorse This is the teen who decided to homeschool this year and is taking a mail-order cooking course, so I think they're really excited about their new cooking and plating skills this year.

Kelli M @TheHorse At least there's a couple of Eddie Bauer stores in the area, or at least there are some outlet stores. I miss when they used to have huge Eddie Bauer outlet sales at the Cow Palace.

Kelli M @much2say I've heard that dried chaga mushrooms taste very similar to coffee, but I haven't tested that out. You could always give it a try!

Kelli M @TheHorse I kinda wish LL Bean had a brick-and-mortar store around here, as I prefer to try my stuff on rather than ordering and hoping for the best. They make clothes that last forever!

Kelli M Oh, are the Browns playing today? I should put on my jersey! Truthfully, I don't keep up much with sports at all, but somehow I have 2 Cleveland Browns jerseys, a white one and a brown one.
