I made the 7 Layer Brownie Bars off the Ghiradelli Brownie box and while it was toooo sweet for me, my favorite part was the pecans where some of the condensed milk had caramelized on them. So I decided I would try to make caramelized pecans. My first attempt isn’t a total failure, but I had too much condensed milk. I think next time I will mix the nuts with the milk in a bowl, giving them a thin coat and then bake them in the oven after straining them from the bulk of the sweetened condensed milk.
Tonight I am going to do a “mock grilled” pineapple. Our grill died, so I am going to use my little kitchen blow torch to brown & caramelize slices of pineapple. Hopefully it turns out ok.
You are The Moon
Hope, expectation, Bright promises.
The Moon is a card of magic and mystery – when prominent you know that nothing is as it seems, particularly when it concerns relationships. All logic is thrown out the window.
The Moon is all about visions and illusions, madness, genius and poetry. This is a card that has to do with sleep, and so with both dreams and nightmares. It is a scary card in that it warns that there might be hidden enemies, tricks and falsehoods. But it should also be remembered that this is a card of great creativity, of powerful magic, primal feelings and intuition. You may be going through a time of emotional and mental trial; if you have any past mental problems, you must be vigilant in taking your medication but avoid drugs or alcohol, as abuse of either will cause them irreparable damage. This time however, can also result in great creativity, psychic powers, visions and insight. You can and should trust your intuition.

It is already Sunday afternoon. I am not ready for the weekend to be over. I have been playing WoW and spring cleaned a bit. I deleted 2 characters I made but ended up not liking their names. This is the list for the SoE realm (all are Female):
Lumine – 51 Blood Elf Fire Mage – Tailoring/Enchanting
Amatine – 27 Blood Elf Holy Priest – Mining/Jewelcrafting
Malandra – 16 Blood Elf Affliction Warlock – Skinning/Mining
Innihta – 11 Orc Shaman – Skinning/Herbalism
Gleigga – 9 Dwarf Paladin – undecided (I wanted to play a Pali but I didn’t wanna do BE again)
Achlys – 9 Undead Rogue – Herbalism/Alchemy
Leyotahu – 15 Tauren Hunter – Skinning/Leatherworking – Pet: Ravager named Otaktay (Sioux name meaning “Kills Many”)
Marimuni – 1 Troll Warrior – undecided on playing/keeping this one. I don’t like dealing with the stances
and I am planning a Druid. I just have put it off because I started Ley Friday night and if I do a Druid I will have to do the Tauren area again.
I had a week off, things have settled a bit. I feel better. Russ’s mom meets with the pulmonary doctor today about her MRSA pneumonia. I realllly wanted to go but we would have had to leave an hour after I got to work and I can’t afford losing that much of a day.
Today I am tired. The phone kept ringing off the hook this morning. As a side note…never ever EVER do an online quote for health insurance unless it is through an official carrier like Blue Cross & Blue Shield. Thank goodness for caller ID.
We mailed out tax papers to the IRS. At this rate I may get my money by the end of the year.
My birthday is coming up. I have no idea what I want. Well there are lots of things I want, it is just a matter of finding a place to put them or having the money to buy them. I have to make a list. I hate trying to come up with a list lol.
Update lazy style cuz I dont feel like writing cohesive paragraphs
- Russ’s mom got out of the hospital May 29th
- She got readmitted May 31st dehydrated and with pneumonia
- we later found out it was MRSA pneumonia
- they put her on Vancomycin, it was working
- It stopped working
- They put her on Zyvox
- Her veins would no longer take an IV
- choice: pills or a PICC line — she chose pills
- Got to come home June 11th
- major drama – we wouldnt let her go home alone
- We start june $400 in hole because of gas and frequent hospital trips
- I work out a living right on the razor thin wire way to get us out of said hole
- today bad news from IRS – owe over $6000 on money I never got
- Filed my taxes the end of January but because of above I still dont have my return or our $600 stimulus payment
- all of above = me at end of my fucking rope
