My mother-in-law picked up some FABOO vinyl fabric for me, today...can't wait to have it in my hot little hands, and do some creating with it.

Slightly off-topic...this isn't a documetary, but you should read "The Emperor Wears No Clothes," by Jack Herer. It's a real eye-opener. Back on topic, I saw a great nature documentary the other night, on YouTube. It was about birds of paradise, and it was hosted by David Attenborough. Here is the link: "Attenborough in Paradise."

..lives FAR AWAY.

Why (oh why) does the mixture of coffee, hazelnut-flavoured creamer, and whisky, have to be soooooo good?

That song has to have J.R.R. Tolkien spinning Hamill camels in his grave, each time it's played! Lordy be, that's bloody AWFUL!!!!

Especially since that doll looks to be about 13 years of age!

Agreed. I will admit to having had mild crushes on the characters Captain Harlock, "D," Howl, The Maxx, and Eric Draven...but some of these fan boys need their heads examined!

Can you say, "otaku"? Here's another example:

I LOVE that movie...just as much as I love "Roadhouse." P.S. Did you know that Anne Rice had originally wanted Rutger Hauer to portray Lestat, in the film version of "The Vampire Lestat"? By the time someone had written a screenplay, and the movie was funded, he was far too old, though..

Here's the recipe for my famous Swedish meatballs. Jynxxxie's Swedish Meatballs For the meatballs: 1 1/2 lbs. ground chuck 1 cup Contadina Italian breadcrumbs 1 pouch Lipton's onion soup mix 2 eggs, beaten 1/2 cup whole milk, or half and half 1/8 t. nutmeg 1/8 t. ground ginger 1/4 t. pepper 1/4 t. of baking powder about 2 T. of butter, heated with 1 T. vegetable oil, for frying Preparation: Combine the baking powder and spices with the bread crumbs (this will make your meatballs feather light). In a large bowl, add the ingredients in this order-- Meat Breadcrumbs Onion soup mix Eggs Milk Then, begin to mix the ingredients with a large fork. If the mixture seems too dry, add more milk. You will want the meat mixture to be just thick enough to form into small balls, and hold together while frying . Heat a large non-stick or cast iron skillet, with the butter and oil in it, to medium high heat. Fry the meatballs until just brown on the outside, remove from the hot fat, and reserve. They will be finished off the rest of the way, in the sauce. Dump the remaining oil/butter out of the pan, and wipe out the excess with a paper towel. For the sauce: 2 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced and sauteed in 1 t. butter (or 1 10 oz. tin of Borrelli brand mushrooms, drained) 2 T. grated or finely-chopped onion 1/2 cup butter 1/2 cup flour 2 T. sweet Pride of Szged Hungarian paprika 2 1/2 cups beef broth 1 10 oz. tin of Campbell's cream of mushroom soup 10 oz. Daisy sour cream Salt and pepper to taste Preparation: In the same large skillet, saute mushrooms andonion, in 1 t. butter, until tender. If you are using tinned mushrooms, saute only the onions, and leave them in the pan-- adding the well-drained mushrooms at the end. Melt the remaining butter in the skillet, with the mushrooms and onions, over low heat. Adjust the heat to medium, and add the paprika, then the flour. Stir with a wooden spoon, until they are incorporated with the mushroom/onion mirapois. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually stir in the beef broth and cream of mushroom soup, and cook until thick and bubbly. Remove from the heat. Stir in the sour cream, and add salt and pepper to taste (you probably won't need to do this, as the meatballs are highly-seasoned. Add the meatballs back into to the pan, and cook on low heat, for about 50 minutes. Stir gently, from time to time. Serve over egg noodles; buttered, mixed with chopped fresh parsley, and bread crumbs. Note: For best results, use all the product brands stated in the recipe. I cannot be held responsible for anyone using inferior brands. I'm one of those brand-particular people. I've been using the same brands for years, as a result of about 20 years' trial and error.

SURE! There's plenty, as usual. I always cook for an army!

Getting ready to make homemade Swedish meatballs, with mushroom and sour cream gravy...and buttered egg noodles, topped with breadcrumbs. 'Tis the season for fattening foods!

Probably the first (and last) time I'll ever say it, but I WISH IT WERE MONDAY, ALREADY!!! DAMN!

Holy cats...are those flipper shoes for real?!

Thinking about shagging my husband...finally, after five months of misery!!!

Worried that HW has slept in by accident. I wish he would text back!

Haben Sie einen angenehmen Geburtstag! *sings "Hoch soll er leben, hoch soll er leben, Dreimal hoch!"

Watching an animated movie, "Hellboy: Sword of Storms." Thinking about putting on some pants & socks, and getting some cleaning done.

Trying to go to bed before midnight is a lost cause. I always wake up at 12, right on the nose.

Driving down Interstate 470, and seeing the hills of Ohio turn into the mountains of West Virgina.

I am feeling very concerned about a friend's living arrangements, and how they are affecting this friend's life.

The way that the cold seems to just seep into the house on some days, more than others..
