A local Doctor sent out Thanksgiving cards to the rest of us. Picture it: an MD in his white lab coat, but with a snood and wattle* made of red construction paper. Okay, he's a turkey. Cute, right?

Thing is, he's also waving a foreign flag, which seemed totally random. But then, the light dawned and I realized that it's the flag of Turkey!

Geeky holiday puns FTW!

I just hope other people figure it out. I think the poor man is overestimating the general population's intelligence level...






*Confession: Yes, I posted this so I had an excuse to use the terms snood and wattle.

This takes a lot of nerve. And booze. I'm betting there was a lot of booze:

Tonight I tried making the Spaghetti with Pork Bolognese from this month's installment of Cooking Light. It's okay, I suppose, but seriously not worth the effort of prepping about 20 ingredients and simmering for the better part of 2 hours. *thumbs down*

Happily, as the recipe calls for wine, I now have an open bottle to console me. ;-P

I love the look on her face--priceless!

I'm heartbroken that you voted to repeal the law allowing same-sex marriage:

I simply expected better from you.

Some links are too good not to share:

"For example, most of the candy sold during this season has been dedicated and prayed over by witches."

No wonder Halloween candy is so fattening!  It's the curse!





(In all seriousness, taking things to this extreme scares the crap out of me.  This lady makes the people who ban Harry Potter books look tame in comparison.)

Welcome to Bellevue!  Watch your step around some of our crazier patients...


And yes, I am totally wearing this at work today.  If you can't beat 'em, join 'em, right?

Every time representatives from a certain company call, they tell me to have a blessed day.  Not something you hear often, especially from a corporate type of environment.  And it can be a wee bit startling when some of the more enthusiastic folks put a lot of feeling into it.   Imagine a hyper Pollyanna to get the idea of what I mean: 

HAVE A BLESSED DAY!!!

Did you know there is a wine called Firefly?!?  And, to make it even cooler, it's actually made by the Miranda family?!?

I stumbled across this in a local shop and simply HAD to bring home a bottle.

OMG, what a difference a good night of sleep can make.  I'm all happy and bubbly this morning!

*does so happy it's Friday dance*

Plus, the Highland Games are this weekend, which will be fun.  And, weather permitting, we'll take the canoe out again!
