Cough, Weez

Yes, I know I promised paczki pics here, and I did get two boxes of them(!) at the wonderful Copernicus deli here in Ann Arbor, (link goes to the Kitchen Chick review, as they don't have a web site yet) but my camera died at the moment I went to take the pics of them! I think it's just the battery, but the cam is kaput at the present time!

Things are getting difficult for me, and I'm struggling to not be thrown out of my house. Oddly, I did just do a gig that's good for a month's rent, but it takes a while to get paid...but they have more work coming, hopefully. I had a brief panic attack this afternoon and vented this on...folks I shouldn't have, and I apologize here.

Oh, wait! Kitchen Chick has a review (w/pic!) of the Copernicus paczkis here, and a recipe using them to boot!

No, I haven't forgotten you!

I've been a touch busy...with a bit of work to do, and some minor illnesses...No, I haven't forgotten the birthday pics either, which should be up shortly. Plus, Fat Tuesday is coming soon!

I love her Funny Face!

Well, well, well...Audrey is clearly ready to party...Tomorrow! Yeah, I'm happy too...

It's about time!

Good to see Sandy here... nice shoes!

Nothing subtle from Kristen!

Very nice, Kristen! But it is January...and wouldn't that be a bit cold?

Scarlett's not ready yet...

That's ok...we still have a few days. Happier Herr Dinners?

Staying in England...

Ms. Rigg has inquired as to whether she may join us...of course! It goes without asking.

Oh my goodness!

When you're lookin' good, you're lookin' good! And Nigella, you don't even need to cook for this event...just show up like that!

It's casual...but not that casual!

Geez, Parker could not look like you just left the DQ! Plus, you smell like a vanilla waffle cone... I'll get you Ginger's number, she should have something...

Ms. Lombard will take her time...

She's lazing about in LA now, but I'm hoping she'll make the party...Eh? Sure, bring Clark...

Why do I have to approve the outfits?

Ginger this will be fine...

A week? No, a bit more than that...

But hopefully Christina will be there for the birthday soiree...

We Double Down!

On Drummer Fred!

For my drummer homies!

January Blahs

I have indeed been writing, but just not here very much! It's a slow time and I'm concentrating on book ideas that I've had for awhile. The Birthday is coming up at the end of the month, and I will hopefully get as many people as I can to come to it. If you are reading this and want to know...just email me!

The New Year

Unlike years past, this really does feel like a new year to me. Perhaps almost dying makes you appreciate what you have better; it's funny that when people my age have that first brush with mortality it depresses them, but me its invigorated. Perhaps my natural contrariness will make me happier as all the body parts start falling off...sneaky of me isn't it?

I'm not much of a cook, but if I could drag every blogfriend I have here, we'd cook and chat...and cook some more. Come August, I'll get the chance to do just that! It's exciting!

Somehow I feel good things will happen this year, even though I don't know why I'm as optimistic as I am.

I send much love and hope to everyone who just happens to take a tic or two to sit and read my scribblings.

Babe Ruth says...Merry Christmas!

h/t to Alyssa Milano!

Merry Happy!

Scarlett and I wish you Merry Christmas...see, no Photoshopping! :)

This year's Christmas Music!

Flat on me back!

I have had some writing in mind, but my back has been bothering me, so I've been trying to take some stress out of it...and on top of that, my foot has been suffering as well! Jeez! Don't get old...
