The Daily Alaska photo. A wordless Thursday.

(Really busy today. Turned 45 -- that's right, me and Elvis share the same birthday. Took the kids to the mall, since Zeke's going back to college tomorrow it was his last chance to get me to buy him stuff. He got two t shirts. He needs to work on his consumerism, I guess. The kids made banana bread and chocolate cake and I will make the chocolate glaze that is too too fabulous -- I will post the recipe again tomorrow!)

A BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you!!! I can't believe I forgot when it was on my mind last month. That is a great pic of the kids. They are really having a ball! Give me a call on my cell SOON, like this weekend!
Love and Hugs,
Vickie

One more thing, if you read this before Zach leaves, please have him bring me a copy of that photo. I really, really love it! The colors just jump out of the picture. Almost makes the snow covered trees look like a studio background.

Belated Happy Birthday.

Bye Zeke, do well at school.

and yummmm now I'm glad you are in Alaska, chocolate cake with chocolate glaze is one of the top 2 desserts in my world but it isn't on the diet.

Some day I'll post again.

You like me! You really really like me!

Or maybe you just find me horribly annoying and are about to let me know. Go ahead, I can deal.

So, whatever, you know, leave a message. Thanks!!!

Okay -- updating my profile because I never removed the guinea pigs from it, even though they have been elsewhere for months.

Um...new obsession (HA) the elliptical trainer in the garage. I hate the thing, but today I burned 395 calories. I know. I so wanted to burn 5 more to make it an even 400, but then I would be at 50 minutes and 19 seconds, so I would have to make that round out to an even 51 minutes, and then the mileage could be rounded up to a more even number, and then the calories would be just a few away from 450, but then I could do just a few more seconds, then another few hundredths of a mile, and so on until finally I would fall off, hit my head, end up in the hospital with another nasty concussion, and gain weight because I am bedridden. It was so much easier to just burn the 395 calories.

We moved from the Sonoran desert of southern Arizona to the almost Arctic of Anchorage. I like the winters of Anchorage better than the summers of Tucson, so far.

Still have three kids, the oldest one is a freshman at the U of Arizona (dang it, now I will have to edit this again in a few months), the other two live on Fort Richardson with me and the dogs and the husband.

Other obsessions...my camera, my IPod Touch, my sewing machine. Fabric. Definitely fabric. Dishes. It's a thing females in my family have, an obsession with dishes. Pottery, and earthenware. Silver, definitely. Not crystal and china though. I am not a big fan of the fussy and overly ornate, and both crystal and china tend to fall into those categories, to me. Plus if I have delicate dishware, then I can't have the kids wash the dishes or put it in the dishwasher.

Other than that, I weigh too much, sleep too little, am very liberal, rabidly pro-choice, find it insane this country does not have universal health care, and think the world may be a better place with Obama at the helm. Oh, yeah, and chocolate. Much much chocolate.
