I'm nuts. Or so I've been told. We're hosting cousins - one three, one 5 and a half, so tonite I'm going to have two three year olds and two five year olds. We're going to make Porcupine Meatballs and Home made Banana Milkshakes. Hubby's working tonite, so he'll miss most of the fun. And Teenager's going out two, so it will be me, the kidlies, and the Five Point Five's mom until she tries to leave. And, oh yes, the dog.

I'm still working on getting pics working, but I'll update with them as soon as I can. And I'll post the recipe once we know it works.

This is a list of movies and TV Shows I either own or want to own when I can afford them. Happy Viewing!!

This will be a constantly updated list of books that I recommend. Generally, sci-fi/fantasy, but other genres will be added as I find ones I think are worth buying new. All links point to amazon, with me as associate. Whether you purchase from amazon or not, I hope you will enjoy these books as I have. Happy Reading!

Dune

• Dune (Book 1)
• Dune Messiah (Book 2)
• Children of Dune (Book 3)

Valdemar

• Arrows of the Queen (Book 1)
• Arrow's Flight (Book 2)
• Arrow's Fall (Book 3)

Imagine, if you will, - oh wait. You probably won't get the reference. It's linked if you want to check it out. From my wild youth.

Anyhoo,  I had to entertain my littel gels and cousin holly yesterday, so we made a cake. Chocolate. Now, a five year old and two three year olds make for interesting cook's helpers. But it fended off boredom, and they loved helping, and licking the bowl. There were a few disagreements about who was hogging the remains, but they are girls, after all. Then after lunch and after teenager frosted the cake, they put sprinkles on it. LOTS of sprinkles.

UPDATE: Pics will be included as soon as I get the teenager to send them to me, and then I figure out how all this stuff works.

Test with dasBlog. I like the portal theme, with the left menu. And look ma, no database. Which makes it easy to move around. And, it uses FreeTextBox, not FCKeditor, which always looks profane to me. I will be converting all old entries from both blogger and my half-arsed attempt at writing my own system to dasBlog xml format as time permits. And I'll play with images, too.
