RevGals Friday 5

This is from the RevGalBlogPals ring.
So pull up a chair to the kitchen table and tell us all about your pancake preferences.
1. Scratch or mix? Buttermilk or plain?
I’m a fan of Krusteaz mixes. All of them. The buttermilk especially but also the blueberry. I think this comes from my years of camping. A “just add [...]

But do you recall…

Apparently, I’m not ready to go all change-the-world serious on here yet.

You Are Dancer

Carefree and fun, you always find reasons to do a happy dance.Why You’re Naughty: That dark stint you had as Santa’s private dancer.Why You’re Nice: You’re friendly. Very friendly. 
 

Which of Santa’s Reindeer Are You?
Is it just me, or does that Reindeer look [...]

identity crisis

why do I write here?

A couple of days ago, Teena in Toronto congratulated me on my Blogoversary. I got all confused and stuff and said thanks, but when I checked, I realized I didn’t actually start my blog on Nov 4, 2004. It was a couple of days later. November 7th to be precise. So today marks 4 years. [...]

Thursday Observations

Another random bullet list in a lifetime of random bullet lists:

Exercise – Assertion: Exercise makes you feel better physically. My question: If you have sore muscles 2-3 days after you take an exercise class and you take that class twice a week (on Monday and Friday) you have approximately 1/2 a day where you could [...]

Your result for The Who Would You Be in 1400 AD Test…
The Prioress
