Picnic Lunch Tuesday

Today Jer and I met for a picnic lunch at the park above the beach in Santa Monica. It was a beautiful day, and a very nice lunch.

The Mist

Jer and I just got back from the movies. We saw "The Mist". It's the new Stephen King movie that "forces us to ask ourselves what we would do in an extraordinary situation" blah, blah, blah. I was mad for most of the movie because, as usual, Christians are portrayed as crazy- yelling about how "we have angered God by going to the moon, splitting His atoms, abortion, and stem cells"! They are not the same sort of thing! Going to the moon is not the same as abortion.
Anyway, its not the point of the film, and for the most part it is a good monster thriller. I bet the book is really good. Stephen King is pretty cynical (I really don't get it because he gets paid lots of money to tell stories) but I'm sure its a fun read.
So... I think I'd better push publish or this rant will never end, sorry, and thank you.

It Went Well

It looked good, it tasted good, and everyone had a nice time.


And now I have some cleaning to do. Fortunately I will have lots of help. Thanks Mom!

Thanksgiving Prep

This year Jer and I are hosting Thanksgiving at our new apartment. I started my prep yesterday by making a pie (like the one in the picture) and freezing it for Thursday. It's my first time freezing a pie so I'm not sure how well it will work.

Today I will make a pomegranate syrup (for the roast I will make tomorrow) then a pumpkin pie. Later today I'm gonna' brine the turkey. Tomorrow shouldn't be too busy because I will do most of the hard stuff today.

On Friday Jeremiah and I bought our first set of dinnerware. I love them! Till now we had been using the standard hand-me-down mismatched plates that most couples start with. Now we have the nicest set, and enough that everyone can have their own plate on Thanksgiving!

It's Almost Time

I am sooo excited about this, and I have been spending allot of time here. It is catty TV at its best.

Happy Again

Jeremiah is home and all is well. Yay!!!

Sad

Jeremiah is away till Sunday. This is not the first time we have been apart for more than a few hours, but for some reason I'm missing him more than I did the last few times he was away. I am sad, and I'm not looking forward to going to bed. I don't think I'll sleep well tonight.

Excuses

Our camera broke.
I've been busy working.
Our Internet connection doesn't always work.

Okay, now that's out of the way.
I will post a picture of my new haircut when I have a picture.
