1:42 pm - Ride to and from poly dinner?
|
Hello, all!
Joe is working (loud applause!) however, that means that I am without a way to get myself to Central Market for poly dinner. Is there anyone who might be willing to squire me there and/or back home?
I live near 183 at Peyton Gin, between MoPac and IH35.
Thank you!

I got an e-mail from Gloria that got me thinking about infused liquors to use in eggnog.
I like serving homemade eggnog at my holiday parties. Assuming I get my act together to actually do this, I think I'll make apple-infused bourbon and nutmeg-infused rum, and then set them out with the eggnog. I'd make the eggnog non-alcoholic so that guests can experiment with which liquor they like!
The apple-infused bourbon idea came out of the fact that I sometimes use calvados when I make eggnog, and sometimes peach schnapps. I'm much more fond of the apple flavor than the peach, so I thought about an apple bourbon. Cause, to me, it sounds somewhat better than apple rum. Or nutmeg bourbon.

3:22 pm - blood
|
Is anyone up for a trip to the blood center with me? With one thing and another, I haven't donated in months. I mean, months after I was eligible...!
They are critically low on my blood type. Because I am CMV negative, they mostly use my blood for infants and children under 1. Additionally, they are bringing some of the Fort Hood shooting victims here to Austin for treatment.
I'm driving Joe's car, which is a stick, which is contraindicated after giving blood.
How long it will take: the amount of time to drive there (15 or so minutes), probably 45 to do the donation, and the time to get back. So, I'd need to leave home by 4:00 at the latest.
I'm at 183 and Peyton Gin, for those who haven't been playing at home.
I know it's unlikely that someone can drive me on such short notice, but I thought I'd put it out there!

I am steeping chicken. I'm trying a new flavor combination: lime, garlic, bay leaf, black peppercorns. It smells good in my kitchen, mmmm!

6:09 pm - John Shelby Spong and why he rules the planet tonight
|
"I will no longer listen to that pious sentimentality that certain Christian leaders continue to employ, which suggests some version of that strange and overtly dishonest phrase that “we love the sinner but hate the sin.” That statement is, I have concluded, nothing more than a self-serving lie designed to cover the fact that these people hate homosexual persons and fear homosexuality itself, but somehow know that hatred is incompatible with the Christ they claim to profess, so they adopt this face-saving and absolutely false statement."
Ganked from Ragen.

I'm not sure who Grey Worldwide is, but I came across this cute video when I was looking for something extra to put in here for Kirby. I thought that it was so adorable!
Happy Birthday, Kirby!

I went to the doc on Friday and he diagnosed that I have the same lung inflammation that I did last year at this time.
It's called Reactive Airway Disorder. Asthma is a form of RAD but not all RADs are asthma.
I have a scrip for oral steroids and inhaled steroids. Let me tell you, those work *fast*.
I already feel so much better. Dan says that I have recovered my vivacity, and I certainly feel that way.
Yay for good docs!

So even my *Dad* thinks I should go to the doc tomorrow. So I probably will.
FYI, if it's the flu, there will NOT be a Voyagers party. I just don't want to risk people's health.
