Scribblings

I now officially live in a household in which no one… not the birds, the dogs or the human… want to get up before 10 AM. Of course, once the light returns, the birds will quickly revert to their early morning calls. But until then, I will enjoy just wallowing in bed for an ungodly amount of time!

The sky is grey. It feels like it’s been grey since early this autumn. It makes my spirit grey.

There is hardly any snow on the ground. It’s warming up and then it will freeze overnight and everything will be sheer ice. Welcome to one of those weeks when I wonder why I live in Alaska. Would one good snow storm this winter be asking too much?

Time for everyone to forget their annual Christmas charity and cheer and go back to life as usual. 

Just knowing how many Fox viewers that are annoyed whenever I say Happy Holidays makes my holiday merry.

As you are wrapping the last of the presents and spending the last of your money, please don’t forget Bird TLC. Go to birdtlc.net and make a donation to the birds. Remember, we’re the organization that puts the non in non-profit. We can use all the help we can get!

I know Stephen Colbert is coming back in May to replace Letterman. It’s the only thing that’s making Letterman’s retirement bearable. On the other hand, how do I survive between now and then without him? My heart aches. Maybe Prescott Pharmaceuticals has a pill for this…

Yesterday, my dogs attended a doggie birthday party at Happy Dog Day Camp. I supplied some snacks. They brought their unlimited enthusiasm. And as I drove away, I thought that probably my nonna, wherever she may be, is spinning madly in total disbelief.

How many times can you hear the same Christmas carols without wanting to run naked into the icy night to make the pain stop?

How can I be such an amazing chef for main meals but suck the big one when it comes to deserts? I am totally incapable of getting it right… ever!
