some memes and meanderings

Went to AuntS2's house today for a while, listened to her bitch about Prejudice Girl who was really up to some crap (PG is AuntS2's twin's daughter). We were also going to my other cousin's house but it started snowing. It's going to be a very hard visit because he's dying.

I spent yesterday watching 80's SF, Aliens, Robocop They are still pretty good movies. Yes, dated when it comes to the tech but I still really enjoy them. Sadly Robocop was cut to hell and back for violence and language.

I finished that short story sent in Wales. I'm hoping it works. If anyone wants to look it over let me know.

Made some killer ham and bean soup tonight. Yum.

( Tv Meme )

The talking meme - a2zmom asked me what was my favorite and least favorite desserts. Probably my all time favorite is baklava. I just love the layers of cinnamony phyllo dough and honey. I do substitute pecans when I make it. I like pie and cheesecake. OhI do love cheesecake. tiramisu is high up on the list as well as is flan.

However, I am not very fond of cake. I never have been. I'll eat it but I just don't care for it. Any more, I'm liking very sweet things less and less. It gives me headaches and of course I'm not supposed to have it in the first place.

Happy New Years

Here's to a prosperous and wonderful new year. I do have some resolutions but most of them are about my writing and you can find them here

I hope to lose weight and exercise more too but a resolution might be too much pressure when I fail like I know I will. I will try though.

And to finishing off that talking meme evil_little_dog asked for my five favorite memories and why. It's not a very easy thing to do.

1. Wales. I have always wanted to go. I loved almost every moment of being there, touching monuments of antiquity and being so far out of my home territory.

2. Graduating high school. I was going to be free of those bullies at last and I was one step closer to my goal of medical school.

3. Graduating Medical School. I had done it. I have done all the hard work and I was officially a doctor. I had the world at my feet, at least for a little while until I started my residency.

4. My brother's wedding. New beginnings are always so fun.

5. Selling my first novel Kept Tears. I know this will keep me smiling for years.


I'm off to drink, play games and watch movies (I never was one for going out). Hope you all have a wonderful new year.
