I waited until most of you have gone to sleep to whip out some of my favorite Christmas music. Who would've thought that an atheist like myself would prefer Christmas music about Jesus? That's the one that's the most fun to sing in a choir. T...

Sleepy, Part Deux

nobody@vox.com(Valerae) — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 07:44:15 -0500

I didn't make it to bed until 1:30 again last night. I know some people can handle it, but I can't. Getting up at 6:15 is brutal. Zombie girl. At least last night I was up making delicious cookies and cookie doughs. My vanilla bean cookie dou...

Monday Bloody Monday

It's back to work for this gal today. Vacation was half out of this world and half a bust. During my second week I ignored obligations, laundry and grocery-buying. I caught a cold and did a lot of sitting on my ass. Mondays are no fun. I am pa...

Looks like my Miss Mira is having the same weekend as me. Hang in there, toots, you'll feel better soon. Love, Aunt Val On a side note, did you notice her head's resting on the diaper? Looks like she's been hitting the bottle like me too!

Lousy but not Depressed!

nobody@vox.com(Valerae) — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 09:51:42 -0500

Yesterday's brush with depression has passed and now I only feel lousy physically. I'll take it! I wrote yesterday's sad Christmas post shortly after waking from a very depressing dream that really threw off my mood for most of the day. I had d...

Home for the Holidays

nobody@vox.com(Valerae) — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 09:13:32 -0500

Not really. It's tough, year after year, not ever spending the holidays with the people I'd really rather be with. I can completely sympathize with the grinchy attitude that has pervaded the neighborhood this year. I feel it every year. Oh, I...

Lame

nobody@vox.com(Valerae) — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 22:24:38 -0500

Had a fun night out with the gals but it's nearly an hour drive and it's always a sober affair. And that's ok, we have a lot of fun just chit chatting, it just eats up five hours to only get to hang for three. Ah well, it had been far to long si...

Hey, first some good news, have you tried going to vox.com to check out recent comments and updates? For well over a year it's barely loaded, but lately I'd say the page loads 90% of the time without having to reload. Ok, maybe that's an overly ...

Cold

nobody@vox.com(Valerae) — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 09:29:12 -0500

It's cold out. Butt ass cold out. It's 6 degrees with a -12 windchill. Hello Adirondack winter! I also seem to have a cold. It's pretty mild so far. Not one of those painful sore throat and nose scab sort of deals...just a slight sore throat ...

Good Luck to the Barley Mow

nobody@vox.com(Valerae) — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 11:20:23 -0500

What is the difference between soup and stew? Anyone know? I made a chicken barley soup/stew yesterday that was a variation on my chicken noodle soup and it was souper (oy) yummy. First I chopped some carrots and onions and minced a couple of c...
