Quick little bits...

American Idol: Woo hoo - Paris is off! I was honestly worried it was going to be Elliot. I should've had more faith in him!

Infinite Crisis: Yay - #7 DID come out today...haven't had a chance to read it yet...

KT Tunstall: You MUST watch this video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6989780587571054207&q=kt+tunstall&pl=true Very impressive performance where she keeps recording little snippets of her voice or an instrument, and then sets them to loop. REALLY cool! I'd totally see her in concert!

Protein bars: Thanks to my amazing personal trainer Julie for her yummy protein bars recipe. I'll post the recipe (with my tweaks) sometime real soon... (Hm, wonder how long I'll be picking flax seeds out of my teeth?) Oy, tomorrow's work out day (legs, butt and abs) with Julie, and then racquetball with Carolyn. Gonna be tired this time tomorrow nite!

Cookies: One of Brett's coworkers wants to place an order for two trays of cookies etc for his son's upcoming high school graduation party - basically the same stuff I fixed up at Christmas time. At Christmas I did a tray-for-pay, my first ever, and pretty much screwed myself over, so this time we're looking to be a bit smarter about it, investigating prices on bakery web sites, getting the price-per-measurement for the ingredients in each of the items I'll be fixing, and will hopefully come up with a price that's fair for me and doesn't intimidate Brett's coworker! Will be doing iced sugar cookies (without the Christmas theme), snickerdoodles, chocolate crinkles, fudge and peanut brittle.

Lambs: Sadly, another one of Farmgirl Susan's lambs was taken from her this week. Even with leaving lights on in the barn at nite, playing hard rock radio all nite, and having their guard dogs, something's been coming in and taking some of her babies. My thought's go out to Susan as she takes a breather from the blogging world while she recovers from her tragic loss.

That's all for tonite!
