There&#8217;s a Pulse!"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Hi.<\/p>\n<p>I wrote this great post on religion and I still need to proofread it &amp; edit it, because it was in the midst of having some hideous short-lived bug attack me and give me stomach cramps that felt like being belted across the midriff with a baseball bat. Good TIMES! It&#8217;s just about gone.<\/p>\n<p>So, the snow! It&#8217;s practically all gone. But so fun to watch falling, and really not all that bad to drive in, of course, we have a joke at the house that I fight the urge to become SUV Bitch, ever since I got the Murano. And I try really, really hard not to be that beyotch, blowing by you, but I&#8217;m sorry. When the roads are only as wet as if it had rained? And all the snow on the road is melted? You DO NOT need to drive 15 mph on a major street.<\/p>\n<p>But there is still knitting. And yes. I&#8217;m behind on photos. So behind. Story of my life.<\/p>\n<p>Work? Busy. Lots going on. It&#8217;s good, there are parties and plans and all sorts of things, new things, new projects, all of it. I need to remember what day it is, on almost an hourly basis, and then when I realize what day it IS, in relationship to the holidays, I have a little special panic attack.<\/p>\n<p>Like a minute ago, I remembered the cookies. And that I need to make 72 cookies. So I&#8217;m going to sorta cheat, and make bars. Iowans, we love bars. And the recipe is even FOR bars, and I have the Largest Calphalon Pan Under The Sun, so I have confidence I can knock them out on Saturday. (That&#8217;s six dozen for those pondering at home. SEVENTY-TWO.)\u00a0 I&#8217;ll share the recipe &amp; pics once they&#8217;re made! The ingredients include caramel, cashews &amp; chocolate, so seriously, how can they not succeed? (OK, note to self, don&#8217;t burn them. That&#8217;s definitely one path to FAIL.)<\/p>\n<p>We Kansas City residents have the odious joy of daily ridiculousness, courtesy of our Mayor &amp; his wife; lawsuits, now ethics investigations, he continues to office from home because he refuses to work without her by his side, constantly &#8211; I definitely feel like an old lady, caught up in local civics, all frothing and irritated with the utter stupidity and ridiculousness of it all. At least Illinois&#8217; taking some of the heat off us now. But still. It just doesn&#8217;t end.<\/p>\n<p>OK. I&#8217;m guessing your plates are pretty full, too. At least put a cookie or two on it to sweeten the pile!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi.
