Best Thanksgiving Dessert Ever*
Hopefully I don’t get in trouble for posting this since it’s my husband’s family tradition and not mine… but it’s the world’s best Thanksgiving Dessert!*
*According to my husband, and his sister, and his aunt, and pretty much every other person who’s ever eaten it.

Sometimes I really (really really) want to write things, but I don’t know if the words will hurt or embarrass someone I like. So, in lieu of reasonably interesting blogging, here is a photo.
Some Update Type Things
- My husband is having a pretty major dental procedure on Tuesday, and I’m so proud of him for finally doing it. He’s gonna have a nice new smile and I can’t wait to see it!
- I hit 240 days over at MFP! Things have been moving slower in the last few months, but I’ve lost 42.5lbs total to date. I have just over 20lbs to go, and I have a feeling it’s going to be a long crawl. I suppose it will help me develop better long term habits though, so I’m ok with it.
- Vacation planning is going pretty well, though I’m definitely driving Jon nuts. I’ve recently started looking for interesting Chicago restaurants. We may have to go to Ricobene’s. Oh, and I finally found the website for Kernel Popcorn’s Factory in Wisconsin Dells (after trying to remember the name of the place for the last 7 years)! We’re definitely stopping there to pick up goodies!
- I’m still having a great time in Rift, even though I only play a few hours a week. I found a guild of awesome people, which makes it even better. I love that they let me play my way (which is usually solo) but still make me feel like part of the group. My main character is an Eth rogue named Sorah. Here’s a screenshot of her in Meridian. This game is so freakin’ pretty!
Henna Party!
On Sunday I went to the 2011 Jawaahir Dance Company Henna Party! I convinced a couple of friends to join me and we had a great time. It was so fun having the chance to dance in a party setting, as opposed to dancing in the play on Saturday, which was highly nerve-wracking. I think I could handle dancing with a group, but I don’t see myself ever doing solo performances unless they are very, VERY low key.
It was also super fun to play with henna for the first time! I got to draw a robot on my friend Mara’s arm, and she drew a turkey on my right hand. I couldn’t get a good photo of it though because I’m right handed, but it’s hilarious. Gobble!
365 Photos
The ladies over at DayDreamz have influenced me to try a 365 project this year. These projects usually involve taking one photo per day for a year, or in some cases, one self-portrait per day for a year. I’m not quite that ambitious, so I’m just going to attempt to take and post 365 photos total during 2011. That way I can work ahead if I want, or catch up if I fall behind. Besides, sometimes it’s nice to do a series of shots that go together. It’ll still be a challenge though, considering I posted fewer than 200 shots last year.
Here’s my second photo for the year, of a handmade ornament from 1983. In the photo I’m roughly the same age as my niece is right now, 3 & 1/2. I was pretty cute, right? *grin*
If you’d like to keep an eye on my progress, I made a 365 in 2011 Set over at Flickr! Are you more of an RSS person? Grab the Set’s feed here!
