Tired Tuesday(the day thread)
« on: January 15, 2008, 06:17:01 AM »
Good morning, cave dwellers...ooh, that makes us sound like primitives doesn't it :thatsright: :-)

I've got a full day ahead, as is the norm when I'm in the midst of school. Cleaning needs done. It is cold, cold, cold outside this morning. Maybe 20 degrees. Time is going fast this winter though so it will be over soon enough. That's one thing I hate about cold weather, I wish the time forward and faster--time I don't really want to lose. I think so much life is missed in this miserable, crappy weather though. Yeah, someone's got the gray sky winter blahs :shucks: :baby: I'll get a coffee to make it all better in a little bit and get the blood flowing with a walk or something.

TOTD: Favorite fruit pie and toppings if any. I need a light topic today...hopefully I'm not the only one.

I love apple pie with the crumbly stuff on top. When I need some real comfort food, I'll get that for a desert for everyone, put vanilla bean ice cream on it and a quick dash of caramel on top. It's very sweet though so that's a rarity that I do that.

The usual standard customary January day in the Sandhills of Nebraska, but one detects a slight microscopic fleeting sense that spring is coming.

I dunno about pies; I tend to like those with real fruit in them, and not the sugar-laden chemical stuff--that is to say, apple or cherry or rhubarb or pumpkin or &c., &c., &c.--they all fit the bill--but not "chocolate" "pudding" or "lemon" "custard" or somesuch teeth-decayers and waist fatteners.

If it's a pie, and it's made out of real fruit, it's good.

Tired Tuesday was definitely a good way to sum this day up for me.  Woke up a couple hours earlier then I wanted to, and had to struggle to stay awake the last couple hours of work.

A good day though.  Snowing pretty good right now, so there will probably be a few more inches of snow on the ground in the morning.  Work went smoothly, if a little slow.  Not much to complain about.

Tonight is dance and basketball.

I lead such an exciting existance!!

I'm glad you got that. I hate rushing through the time because of the weather. I hate wasting time and I feel like that is what winter is sometimes and it leaves you with a boatload of chores that can only be accomplished during the nicer times of the year.  :banghead:
I'm trying to get better at doing the bulk of my courseload for the year and 'inside organizing' during the winter, but I do miss the places where just about anytime of the year I could go out and know I could take a walk outside and be comfortable.  sigh...I better shut up before I go to the whiny zone

I love the real fruit ones too, Frank. If I remember correctly, you like them to where the fruit cooks all the way through?

My mother only made them from scratch so I do them the same way.

I stayed up too late last night reading, so I'm dragging this morning  :(  Work has been slow lately with a lot of non-urgent stuff, which isn't exactly the time of thing to motivate me to go it :p 

TOTD: Apple pie with crumbly topping. I love that stuff :-)  As an aside, I made my first really good pie crust from scratch at Christmas. Exciting stuff :p

Winter, like the Autumn before it, the Spring to follow, and the Summer around the bend, is a unique season to cherish.  Count your blessings as they come, one season at a time.  After all, there are poor children in Hawaii who get no seasons.

Pie:  I like fruit pies, too.  Unlike Frank, it's OK by me if you pit and de-stem the fruit and throw a little sugar on top.  :)

My all-time favorite pie is chess.  Not lemon-chess, but plain chess.  No one I know makes a good chess pie anymore.

Getting ready to go to a quilt shop with my Mom and a couple of friends.  It is quite a drive.  My husband is still sick, this is his 2nd day home.  I can't remember the last time he stayed home from work sick.

TOTD:  I love my Mom's Carmel Apple Pie.  Yum!

Sitting here, shivering to death is all I am doing right now.

TOTD:  I love pumpkin pie the most (made a home-made version recently that turned out quite well, given it's been awhile since I made one. )   I also love apple and cherry pie.

Well, ACC already said it...it is COLD here, although the sun is a shinin'.

I too am NOT a winter person as I cannot stand the cold, but as Undies pointed out, it is nice having 4 seasons (it was bizarre not to have them, living in Florida).

Woke up much earlier than normal (like at 4:15), and I couldn't get back to sleep, so I made a lasagna  :hyper: Now I am tired, and I'm taking the baby to her play class  :yawn:

I had quite a burst of energy yesterday and purged a lot of stuff from this house, filling up the SUV three times and taking it to Goodwill. That made me feel better  :-)

TOTD: Pie...mmmmm.....I love pie. In fact, I am not much of a cake eater, I prefer pie. Favortie one? Probably the strawberry one I make in the summer, but then there's pumpkin, key lime, lemon meringue, chocolate cream...... :rotf:

I got my cabin nailed down!  Negotiated a nice price and I have the thing from May 1st through the 31st.

SLIGHTLY less primitive then I had hoped for but at least it's fairly remote and it is a stones throw from Olympia National Forest and within easy driving range of the Pacific.  Right next door to Lake Cushman in Washington State.

I haven't read the thread -- I am just posting a "poor poor me" post.

I woke up this AM with a killer sore throat.  I went to work, but couldn't really operate without speaking -- so here I am at the hotel, telecommuting and resting a bit.

The posting here is part of the resting.
