Not that I don’t adore the 2 people who do comment here regularly.
I’m… just checking something. Please humour me.

In Which Louise Is Spastic (again)
by Louise
That right there is a really poorly-taken photo of my belly. Plus a bit of my (blue, but in this photo for some reason, purple) underpants.
Can you see the incipient bruise? Look hard. See it now?
I made it myself. As I was dashing out the door this morning (late, as usual), I managed to somehow wack my belly/hipbone/fallopian tubes on the frickin doorknob. And, you know, I was going really fast. So I hit it really hard.
Clumsiness is one trait I would give up in a second, I swear.

The Right Stuff
November 26, 2007 by Louise
In a parallel universe, this would be me.
Yep, if thirteen-year-old me had gotten her way, *I* would be the one giving birth to seven-pound babies while my husband was on his Dancing With The Stars tour.
I actually think maybe I have the better deal here.

Once
November 25, 2007 by Louise
If you have a chance at all, AT ALL, go and see the movie “Once“.
It’s only in limited release, and I know that I only have three readers, but I want to spread the word. It is such, such a good movie. So good.
I couldn’t find any movie clips, but here are the two lead actors performing one of the songs that they perform in the film.(oops, a little more digging around youtube and here’s the scene from the movie!)

Some soup for you!
November 24, 2007 by Louise
I made beef barley soup tonight. I know, it ain’t quiche, but I love it and I am, once again, sharing the recipe with you.

Mario!
November 23, 2007 by Louise
When I was five, our babysitter’s daughters (8 and 10) got an Atari. I remember sitting for hours, watching them play Pac Man, Burgertime, Blasteroids, and Centipede. I was never allowed to play, but I sure did have fun watching.
Later, I guess when I was about 12 or 13, my brother bought himself a Super Nintendo (I think). The one that came with Duck Hunt and Mario Brothers. Again, I would sit and watch him play, but I never really played, myself, unless he wanted someone to trounce thoroughly at a racing game. I’m so bad at that kind of thing that I actually lean in the direction that I’m trying to point the car in. It’s pathetic really.
All through high school and university, friends of mine would have video games and I would watch them play and I would never play and I kind of suck at it all. Until my lovely husband came into my life.
So. Fast forward five years. We have all kinds of different games and game systems. I still don’t really play any of them… except for the DS, because I love a game called Harvest Moon. I’ll play that, or Scrabble, before going to sleep at night. But now! NOW!
Rob has brought into our house Super Mario Galaxy. I absolutely suck at this game, not having had the practice, in my youth, that so many of my contemporaries did with the controllers and jumping and such. But I’m plugging along, bit by bit. And I can’t stop. Every day, I spend like, half an hour waving my controllers around. I’m sure it’s making Rob wish there were addiction treatments for video gamers. Lucky for me, there are not, because I am loving running around and jumping from planet to planet.
I haven’t gotten over the habit of leaning in the direction I’m trying to send my ‘guy’, though.

Guess who’s up? Guess who’s up at 4 am?
ME!
I have been coughing all night long and I hate coughing. I’m afraid of coughing. Coughing scares the crap out of me (not literally) (I mean it’s scary but I can manage my own bowels just fine thanks).
I have my reasons for fearing the cough. Nothing a free royal caribbean cruise for two wouldn’t cure.
Okay so that wouldn’t really cure my coughing, but it would mean Rob and I would be on a cruise. According to experts*, coughing on a cruise is way better than coughing at home.

Happy Thanksgiving!
November 22, 2007 by Louise
It’s not Thanksgiving here, but those of you in the US, well, happy turkey day to you. I hope you have a great day before you go back to the treadmill tomorrow. Or not. You don’t have to. I’m not telling you to. God knows I haven’t exercised in months (and yet I complain about my ass? Heh.) even though I *do* intend to. Oh, the good intentions.
Anyway. This wasn’t meant to be an ‘oh I’m such a flab’ post. I wanted to share my delicious recipe for peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. Not exactly Thanksgiving fare, but then again I say on Thanksgiving you can eat whatever you want (it’s one of those Magical Holidays!). I have no clue where I got this recipe, but I’ve had it for years. It’s written on an index card, all stained up. I’ll transcribe the recipe here, and add my ‘adjustments’ to the written recipe. Trust me, these are delicious if you like Reese’s peanut butter cups or whatever.

Wait A Minute, Mister Postman
November 21, 2007 by Louise
I love getting mail. Real mail, I mean, not flyers and bills (sure, sure, bills are actually real mail, but… not really). This is why I am totally loving being a member of Swap-Bot. There’s nothing like getting a package in the mail and tearing it open to find stuff! Stuff for me! Hooray!
Alas, it looks as though I’ll have to hold on to my box cutters for awhile longer than I’d hoped when it comes to getting my new wig. I got an email last night from the company I’ve ordered it from. Although we ordered it a week and a half ago, and at the time of ordering, we were given a send date of… oh hey! Today!, they just now sent me an email to let me know it’s on backorder.
They are projecting a send date of December 22nd.While I am happy to know that my wig is popular (read: not ugly! finally I may have good taste), I am saddened by the fact that I am stuck with the frizzball stylelessness for another month.
ALSO: I am 100% completely jealous of Adelle’s new shoes, and covet them. Sadly I have ginormous feet and they don’t come in my size. Stupid size 10. Stupid feet.
