    I am trying to imagine a world without the Internet. And when I do, the inner workings of my head scream the shrillest most disturbing screech. Without the Internet, there would and COULD actually be MORE human beings actually OUT farting and shopping. I just returned from a four hour shopping extravaganza. And I’m about…

    Last night I was opening a can of tuna when I realized it was filled with oil. Annoyed with myself, I thought, “You ALWAYS check this kind of thing, Michele. What the hell?” I turned to check on the other can of tuna I purchased at the same time. That tuna was submerged in water.…

    My amazing husband’s PHP5 book is finally on Amazon. How totally friggin cool is that? He’s in the thick of it now, and stressing pretty hard. But once it’s all over, I hope he looks back on all of this and thinks to himself, “I have a tech book for sale on Amazon.”

    The pie I made tonight looked uglier, yet it tasted better. The chocolate (even though it looked like human crap) was an added bonus. If I can make it look pretty, all will be good. However, tomorrow, I think I’ll make a peach pie.

    Today, I will be making a chocolate, mixed berry pie. I am going to wing the chocolate. And I worry a bit about how it will end up. I’m using baker’s chocolate and I’m going to add my own sweetener. You can witness the birth of yesterday’s blueberry pie by clicking here. For dinner, it’s…

    This weekend was lovely. We didn’t do much after a very long night out with friends on Friday. It began with a festive Chopping Block Christmas party at the Telephone Bar. We had drinks and ate dinner. It was great talking to Matthew again and meeting his new wife, Lorie. Rachel looks wonderful and her…

    Lately, I have been exploring “healthy” baking. Last week I made an apple cobbler. I used whole wheat flour, apples, a few tablespoons of Sugar In the Raw, two tablespoons of lite butter, cinnamon and nutmeg. The entire pie was about 700 calories. (That’s good, right?) Tonight, I wanted to try a blueberry pie. I…

    If anyone knows of any freelance and/or full time work in the tri-state area, I suddenly have some time on my hands. Today is even more bizarre than last week’s bizarre day. And here I thought it wasn’t possible. (Days like today, no, weeks like this, make me believe in God. Because this is entirely…

    At a rest stop in Texas, Toby and I pulled over to use the bathroom and buy some bottled water. Driving through the chimney top of Texas is like driving on a heavily-policed piece of brown cardboard. We had driven through Maryland, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Utah, California, Arizona,…

    Apparently, last year I kept deleting posts as well. But the year before I wrote about Xena. Good times.
