How about this weather?

It's 70+ out here this morning!  No wonder the AC is cranking.  We had a fire in the fireplace Friday night.  Yeah, we are still in Texas.

Speaking of Texas, you know how we not me are about football here... well our High School had been #1 in the state last year, maybe even the year before, I don't keep up with it sometimes it's just shoved down my throat and I have to choke on it.  Well, they were in the playoffs yesterday and lost, boo who gives a shit hoo.

Evidently not our wayward daughter either.  I'd included one of those little red stretchy support bracelets that had the name of the team on it in Jolea's care package last week.  The color guard was selling them and since my co-worker's daughter is in the color guard and I had a dollar....  there goes my coffee and Blurberry bag, lol you know what I'm talking about.

Jolea had gotten her care package last Wednesday and she had been wearing the bracelet.  Last night I texted her to tell her that they'd lost their playoff game at Cowboy's stadium and she texted back "I just threw that bracelet across the bar LOL!" 

Oh my gosh,  that was the funniest response to a text I think I've gotten in a long time, well at least a week. 

Let's see... what else is going on....

This stuff turned out hard as a flipping rock.  If you make it be sure to eat it all as soon as you get it out of the oven.  It's like a biscotti!

I'm making Jeff a cap with the leftover yarn from Di's chemo cap. My $3K eyes are going to burst!


My herbs are going wild!!!!

I need to sweep the leaves off the porch or either make a sign that reads "Beware of snakes in these leaves" to keep the door-to-door solicitors away.  Maybe they'll think the bigger the pile, the bigger the snake.  It amazes me the amount of door-to-door sales we get in the hood.  I guess they think we don't have internet. 

That reminds me, Gracie took a snake into the house about an hour ago and I never saw her bring it back out.... I guess Jody hasn't found it, I haven't heard any little girl screaming.

Your herbs look great...especially, the basil. Ours is on it's way out. Unless we get a sudden turn of the weather. ;-) We seem to be having an early winter. But, since it's Southern California, it could easily turn and be warm again. We'll see. Have a great weekend! :-)

I took two huge sprigs of basil and a handful of oregano to my co-worker last week. She thought that someone had brought a plant for the office. Much colder today, I'm trying to think of a way to build a make-shift green house to keep them through the winter.
