Tired lol, shopping all day today, eating all day yesterday XD; at least Im not doing anything sat or sunday XD

<3 aw so sweet :) Thankful for your friendship :D

Busy busy,came home for a moment and off to shop again XD;

Hmm this is weird! I thought each food fed to my pet raise its hunger by one point, but this filled basket I fed to my pet raised my pets hunger from 7 to 10! Is this normal?

oh, congratulations. That sounds like an excellent book and your expertise is completely on target for it! I'm sure it will be wonderful.

thank you for all the friendship too :D

a few foods raise satiation by more than 1. Most foods it's just 1.

Oh gotcha! thanks :)

Not exactly the book I had always envisioned. Lol

but a really cool book!

I am on 40,000 words and counting on my 'nanowrimo' story! It's not going to be an actual book, but it's the first thing I ever wrote this way that is this long, and mostly coherent, and has an adventure/thriller/urban fantasy like plot of a sort too...

Morning :)
I had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday (yeah I know a day late) with family and friends.
good convo, meal and then a game of Monopoly in which my 8 year old grandson won. He is so smart! He didn't need any help except if he had to add up large numbers. wow do I feel dumb


congrats on getting done.


she told the person who was getting voted out to get a vote at the end if she made it there and they found out.

haha, hope you to get lots of rest ;)

Glad you had a good turkey day, I am eatting stuffing for breakfast today XD

My plan was foiled last night when my stepmom decided we needed to clean the kitchen at 10pm last night -dies- however got to sleep in till 9:30 today :D

oh my, 10pm :O hope you slept really well after that

Hey hey!! I'm so sorry I took forever to reply, I haven't been on here much at all in the past 6 months or so. I'm trying to a least be more active for the holidays because I love how they're done on here. ^_^ How are you?? I love your HA!!

Do you know when the black Friday sale is supposed to start? Also, HI!! :)

Lol yeah we only ever eat the canned jelly cranberry sauce lol

I guess but it's all about how I'm going to see my family so :/

That's good, how are things?

Oh yes I did well sorta, my husband isnt home so not as well as normal but pretty hard none the less. Swept and mopped all the floors today, did dishes, cleaned my china cabinet, and did a ton of laundry. BREAK TIME XD;

now XD;;

yea, it depends how long hubby is gone on how well i sleep or not, the last time was nice, LOL

Yes, thank you xD I love your HA!! So fall festive.

things are good! I just bought a ton of sale items for Black Friday with the CSC I'd been saving for that purpose.

And look at this HA with piles of game and book junk all around and clutter. It's so me. :D

I'll be so happy if it actually happens!! My co-author is taking her family to Disney World in a few days so we'll be able to get more serious about it when she gets back. NaNoWriMo sounds very cool, but had to Google it to learn about what it is. It seems like it could possibly turn into a full length book too. I don't think I could be that disciplined to write a certain amount of words daily.

Oh yeah I do remember that, but missed why that made so many mad at her.

Hey you!! :-)

I grew up on canned too, but love making it myself. Although it always has a bit of a bitter taste no matter how much sweetner I add to it. lol

I've known about nanowrimo since it started, but this is the first time I've participated.

From looking it up online, three possibilities to make your cranberry sauce less bitter:

1. cook cranberries less long ("just until they pop" one source recommends)
2. leave out orange rind (or be very careful just to get the outer layer of zest, and reduce amount)
3. add more salt (this is my experience, that salting something removes bitterness - works on eggplant - at least one online source recommended it for cranberry sauce too)

One last possible solution, if it comes out bitter right after cooking, put in refrigerator for two days and taste again. Supposedly it's less bitter after sitting a while.

I hope your story turns out well. I would love to read it if possible.

Hmmm, I bet overcook them. I don't add orange as I have a sensitivity to citrus. I couldn't find my usual recipe but I added freshly grated ginger and blueberries and tons of stevia for cooking. I like it ok but no one else will touch it. lol

Yeah, I will probably sleep better tonight, my stepmom kept roaming around down stairs yesterday and kept waking me up

Thanks aaand now I changed it XDD
