Where's Batwrangler?

And guess who else is visiting Toad Woods tonight? That's right! I finally met the puppy.

Click for a larger pix, and couple more pictures of Fezzik and the woman who handles him so well.

Where's Batwrangler? Lap dog? Who's the lap dog? Fezzik at 11 months and 73 pounds or close to it.

Tree Report: In Process

Where's the Angel in a Star with a Heart in her Hand? She's not there yet, nor anywhere else on the tree. That's one sign I'm not done decorating it yet. Another sign is that there are still two bins, one large box, and half of a smaller box to go.

Looking good. I feel like I'm cheating, though. I'm fine with the convenience of my first artificial tree -- the ease of setting it up, the fact that the lights are already on it. But I wasn't prepared for just how much of an advantage being able to position the branches is. They stay where I put them, rather than bouncing back on their own and pushing ornaments aside in the process. It's utterly weird...and oh, so easy to decorate.

A public service announcement

For any and all who have ever had the occasion and opportunity to enjoy debgeisler's Sweet Rolls, I am both surprised and delighted to announce I have a new favorite flavor:

Cinnamon Raisin

I didn't think anything could replace apricot in my sweet roll affections, but OMG, cinnamon raisin. With vanilla-rich frosting. NomNomNomNomNom.

Thank goodness I've had a few folks to share this sweet roll with, and thank goodness I offered before tasting it. I can only hope I would have had the generosity and common sense to share it anyway, but if I'd tasted it first, I would have been way to tempted to bogart the whole thing, and that would have been, um, over the top and then some.

Deb's Cinnamon Raisin Sweet Roll. Fabulous.

I can haz outgoing email

Upgrading from the truly ancient Eudora 6.1 to the merely old'n'moldy Eudora 6.2.4 for the Mac restored my ability to send outgoing email from my email client.

Yay. Sighs of relief and All That Jazz...
