Festive Floof! Decorating the death shield!
Comments (17)A fog machine would be really neat! They are motion activated when someone enters. Do you seasonally decorate your home too? Hmm what about a Polar Express type scene? The portions could be windows in a train car? I don't think we've seen Easter or Valentines from our office! Nice smelling seasonal candles on a candle warmer instead of an open flame might works....See MoreFestive Floof/Vent Here!
Comments (38)I haven't been to a family holiday since my dad died in 1968. It used to always be at my mother's house, but after my dad died, she started going to my brother's, and my sister moved away, and back, and away, and unaccounted for sometimes. She didn't get along with very many people...so it was always just Jody and me, until Erin came along in 1980. She finished high school and moved to Houston for university and never moved back. So the concept of family or family celebrations or family getting together for the holidays is kind of foreign to me. Now my mother, brothers, sister, and all in laws, and most of my nieces and nephews, and Jody have passed away. It is just me. Erin spends holidays with her husband's family, which is good, because I am glad for her to be part of a family, although knowing her so well, she probably would rather just spend it with her husband. Of course, I miss Jody, but I don't mind being alone. I prefer it. I bought a turkey, but not sure if I will cook it before or after or on the day. Heck, I may just leave it in the freezer. I am expecting company after Thanksgiving....not particularly looking forward to that. I don't mind company but I am ready for them to leave after a couple of days, and I get a sense that he plans to stay awhile. (He is bringing his cat). I have sort of a routine and I like to keep to it, plus I have to be home a lot because a couple of the horses are fed four times a day. I do miss all the foods associated with holidays past, and I plan to make several of the ones I like best....probably not all at the same time. My company to-be has already sent his likes and dislikes in that department, and they aren't the same as mine....so we will see. He says we can eat out a lot. Great. Not....See MoreFestive Floof!

Comments (25)I'm on the verge of no father. He has a degenerative disease, that he wasn't supposed to live 6 months past, but he's been surviving well past. He started declining in December. He lost 20 lb in a month. His appetite is gone. The last two events I've attended with him, just walking from the car to the building he's as white as a ghost. There's absolutely no blood in his face. He's exhausted. His disorder is a breathing disorder, and he's able to carry his oxygen around, but not for much longer. He spent the last hour of today's interaction sitting on the couch sleeping while the rest of us were laughing and talking. He has a favorite book. He gave it to me, and I read it constantly. When he comes to visit me it's here on the shelf. He always picks it up and reads it when he's here. So I bought him a larger version with the actual illustrations that were in it first publication. I gave that to him yesterday. I'm going to miss him so much. I hope today brought him much joy, with all of his children, except one of the six, and many of the grandchildren, were there to see him. Doesn't happen often because there are so many of us and we are so far flung. He knows I love him. All I can hope for in his last days....See MoreFestive Food Floof! Hearts!

I bought these same rib eyes to have on VD again.
Been making this chocolate cake for DH for many years. It's small...only about 6"x6"...but has 4 layers. I used the same cake pans to make chocolate chip cookie hearts for our grandkids.

I decided to make heart shaped pizzas for dinner tonight. Why tonight? Well, a few reasons:
-SO likes pizza, but its not his favorite, so I thought I would make it tonight instead of tomorrow.
-I wanted pizza
-I may need my heart cake pans tommorow if all goes as planned. I plan on making a heart shaped cookies and cream mouse cake. But I have a set of 5 smaller ones too, so I may use those and make it 5 layer. Or is it 6? Anyway, i want options. So best to make pizza tonight so the pans will be available tommorow.
Tommorow I will either make heart shaped quesadillas or meatloaf. With heart shaped roasted or fried potatoes. Heart shaped pancakes for breakfast.
We are going in the morning to pick up the gifts he ordered for me, his gifts already arrived. I did go today and get him some other small things, a new charger cord for his phone, a ack of tank tops, some candy and some black and milds.
The pizzas....

Well my dinner plans didn't pan out. SO requested that I make this mishmash dish with no name. It is essentially yellow rice, shredded cheese and "mexican" chicken with peppers and onions. So, since I couldn't really make that heart shaped, I improvised. Tiny heart shaped casserole to the rescue! This tiny little dish was big enough for his portion,and I was satisfied that it was heart shaped.
Don't worry. I wasn't stingy with the cheese, there is more underneath the chicken.
