Washington DC is one of those rare locations that should be considered “northern” but takes some lessons from those of us in the south. In addition to schools being closed when there is threat of bad weather, you will find that most stores are running low on bread, eggs, and milk. I would have thought that someone would have taken the time to brief you that there is a special French Toast Celebration that takes place randomly throughout the winter months.
I know that here in Georgia, this festive day will occur at least 3 times during the winter months. I suggest getting together with the person in charge of stocking the pantry and make sure you have a nice selection of syrups available at all times.
Yours truly,
Stepford Mom
I said I was going to make an effort to track everything I make this year and I am glad to say, I have 2 things done so far. I saw the Fishy pattern and had to make one. This was intended for the kid’s little brother, but unfortunately, he got to it first and I can’t get it off him. I’ll get another one underway this weekend, they’re quick and easy and a fun way to use up odd bits from the stash. I’m hoping that I’m going to run out of the orange/red/yellow that I’m making everything out of currently, but those are the colors that the kid asks for.
The other was a pair of socks for me.
There was another pair that I have finished and packed off to the sister in law, but I had one of those done a long time ago and had forgotten about them…
We were watching Mirrors last night, not a bad flick, some pretty graphic deaths but the suspense factor was much higher than the gore. There’s a scene where the mom has the daughter go hide in a closet as things are winding up and it stuck with me well after we went to bed.
Closets are big contradictions when it comes to scare factor. Most of the time, it’s what’s in the closet that we’re trying to escape. There are so many childhood rituals surrounding closets, keeping the light on inside, closing the door all the way, etc., and so why, when it all comes down to it, is that the place that we run to when we need to hide? It’s the safest place to get away from the things that are after us. Does having something out in the open negate all the freaky shit that goes on inside?
Discuss….
