It's been nice the whole time I'm here

[cornerofmadness]

And the ONE day I had to go out there was so much snow I couldn't. I did get an appt later this week but it means a) I have to miss the big faculty meeting but you know what half the people dont' come anyhow. I made my excuses and whatever happens does b) had to reschedule my endocrinology appt. Sigh.

So I did boring things prepping for class and laundry and cleaning. Bah.

I stayed up late working on the fandom_stocking stuff and finished a little something for every stocking in need I was sent. I should start posting things here soon. if not, slap me.

And I did get more of the Snowflake challenge written up here

Here's a little author support here if anyone wants join me for that.

Since it was a dull day how about me finally dragging out the

But first here is the ivy wrap ring Mom got me that people wanted to see. Also the ring finger painted #pinkforleelah.



Of course many New Year's stories start here

I looked thrilled to be here

Ooooh, such gorgeous rings!

I had never heard of the pretzel bread/cake tradition. Hm.

Kanda actually sleeps in his cat bed? Wow! He does look cozy.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks.

I hadn't heard of it until recently and I lived in Pittsburgh a long time. It's more pastry than pretzel

Kanda loves his bed...now. He hated it when I first bought it

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

You have you're "I'm Stressed" smile on in your pictures.

Mmmm, pretzel bread. That looks yummy.

The ivy ring is very pretty.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

That's about my only smile any more.

It was yummy.

thanks. I'll tell mom everyone likes it

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

That's not good.

I want it now. Or a King Cake.

Do! :D

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

not it isn't and you can see it in the pictures from 1996 on.

king cake will be in a few weeks

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yeah...

I need a King Cake this year.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

mine will have to be krogers or wal mart because I doubt anyone else knows it where I'm at

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

You could make one.

But probably the same thing here.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i prefer not to bake

[wildrider.livejournal.com]

Order one from Cannata's. They're awesome. http://www.cannatasmarket.com/news/king-cakes/

Mmmm, pretzel bread... (the salty type, rather than sweet, but I doubt I'd turn this one down)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

And here comes you riding in with temptation. Sounds like Yum!

I prefer the salty bread myself but this was good, like a cinnamon roll

[wildrider.livejournal.com]

The package got a little squashed when I ordered mine, but it was REALLY GOOD. :)

I've been trying to find pretzel bread as good as they had at a little bakery that used to be here but shut down a few years ago... never have found the "perfect" pretzel bread...

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it looks fantastic

it's definitely not Kroger's. Their pretzel bread misses the mark

[0-mother-0.livejournal.com]

yay picspam! I love it - the rings, boozy fun, komfy kanda and hey you look a lot like your mom (I just noticed!)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks.

Actually I look a lot more like Dad but I'm getting Mom's body. I'm not sure either of us are happy with that. My brother looks just like Mom's father

[0-mother-0.livejournal.com]

I was seeing more expressions and features of the face, but you do look like her - not coloring, but... the important stuff. and lord help me I got my mom's body too (the body of that whole line of the family - no neck, and all the weight in gut and face. yippee :/ )

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

expressions yes, especially at how heavy I am and voice. we sound a little alike

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

*is LOVING the picspam*

Your rings are really pretty! And that pretzel bread looks YUMMY!! I had a good laugh at the "I'm pretending I'm not going to punch PG in the face" pic; that's awesome!! You look like you want to strangle her instead! ;p And Kanda reminds me of me this morning. I sooo did NOT want to get out of bed. XD

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks.

the pretzel bread is yummy

strangling her would have felt great.

i'm just smiling her and her hubby got Mom's flu

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

You're welcoem! :D

It definitely looks it! :D

:D

Yeah? *grins* I hear it's a pretty bad strain that the shot doesn't cover. XD

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it is. Mom's pretty well over it luckily

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

*nods* I'm glad to hear she is!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

me too

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

:D

[dragonydreams.livejournal.com]

Love the rings. My fingers are way too small to wear ones like that. The one on your pinky would go all the way to the nail on me.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I have long fingers and man-hands.

[dragonydreams.livejournal.com]

Whereas I have the hands of a 10 year old. You know those thin stretchy gloves that are supposed to stretch to fit your hand? There's usually extra room at the fingertips on me.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. That is small. I have to wear the large latex gloves...
