Your weekend sounds a lot more interesting than mine!I miss handing out treats for Halloween because we don't get trick or treaters, either so that would be my vote.

It's not a lame excuse...heck...I stopped blogging for a lot longer than that. I was just making sure that everything was okay.

I love it!

I do make my own.

Now it's hard to get someone to commit your name to their facebook profile.What an interesting tidbit...thanks!

Hi!

AJ, I love your book reviews. I really do.But why don't you write about what's going on in your world anymore? Did I miss something? I miss hearing about you.But I do love the book reviews.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one shaken up by Randy's blog. I, too, found myself flooded with emotions I thought I had done away with a long time ago.

I was just thinking about Elfie the other day. I miss her, too.I get to have contact with Mary because of Facebook. Are you on facebook? Maybe somebody could look Elfie up...

Fingers crossed on the job front.

I love Judge Judy.

I've had those white spots on my throat. They're yucky and painful but usually nothing serious. I hope you feel better soon. Maybe some fake chicken noodle soup would help? I have some in my freezer.

My grandma used to call "playing possum" putting her Down's Syndrome face on. After years of defending herself to her criticizing family she found it to be her best defense.

I can't help but wonder what your father's perspective is in all of this...and what kind of father he thinks he is. But then, it doesn't really matter, does it? Because in the end, it is our own realities that shape us and your internalization of the criticism is the only one that matters...at least in this forum.

I wouldn't be for a confrontation in real life...I tried that with an extremely abusive boyfriend and only ended up more hurt.

We don't have those here and I'm glad because that sounds super annoying.Actually, on the news the other night they were reporting on American campaign ads...we don't rip candidates down as much.

Lucky you with plants still blooming.

I haven't had a decent night's sleep in what feels like forever so I feel that pain.

I am forever deciding to move furniture around only to get halfway through and wonder why the hell I decided to start!But a re-arranged room is always fun.

Absolutely outstanding.

I lovebrussel sprouts. I have never had them canned... that sounds pretty gross. I think maybe people don't like them because they've only had them boiled. I roast them or saute them or pan fry them. Okay, now I'm really hungry for brussel sprouts.

What a beautiful post.I won't say anything more for fear I ruin the mood.
