I haven’t posted much here lately. Pownce seems to be a quicker, more interactive way to post the miscellany that normally would’ve went here.

As far as the personal stuff goes, things are great. The writing gig is going well (amazing how much one can make by writing about stupid shit), Tech Snark is taking a 2-week holiday vacation over Thanksgiving too.  We’ll have a Brit (the UK type, not a Spears type) in our house for a week the week after Thanksgiving and much partying at Dave & Busters for the Pink Ninja Meetup (details at the link).

That doesn’t mean that you, my friends, can’t come to the party as well – hell, the more the merrier!!  Let me know if you want to come!!

Every holiday, for at least 15+ years, I was responsible for bringing the crudités. Every get-together, every family event, Carolyn brought the crudités.

Last week, my mom calls me to let me know when we’re getting together for Thanksgiving and that I would be bringing dessert and that my brother Ron (who normally brings dessert) is bringing the crudités.

*blinks*

What?! I always bring the crudités!! This throws my holiday into a tailspin! Everything’s going dark!

Ok…maybe I’m being overly dramatic. But this poses a problem: I never make desserts. Ever.

So, I asked friends “what should I make!??!” and started looking through cookbooks for recipes for desserts that I can’t fuck up. Perhaps I should just botch the desserts so I don’t have to do them again … but I suppose I’d never hear the end of it. I still get shit for something I cooked when I was 12*.

So we’ll see how it goes!

Hope you have a great holiday!

* – I made a pizza where it called for a 1/2 cup of chopped onion. I used a 1/2 cup of dried chopped onion. Never will hear the end of it. And don’t get me started about the whole deviled egg fiasco from when I was 13. Sheesh.
