Watching the news and wondering what movie will accompany my soon ready meal ...

I've been couponing most of the afternoon and evening.

In the Netherlands coffee and tea maker Douwe Egberts/Pickwick has points on the packages of their coffee, tea and chocolate milk. You can use them to buy or put towards purchases in their stores (500 points is worth €2.50). My mother has always saved those points, usually giving them away to family or friends if they want to buy something. Earlier this week I saw that they have a very nice tea caddy filled with various teas, so I spend today sorting, trimming, counting and bagging points. My mother just enough to get two tea caddies so my sister also gets one, too, which she doesn't know yet.

I've picked out several songs, mostly Christmas carols, to teach my Senior Citizens English Conversation class students. Unfortunately, I don't know how to play any of them so I have to figure out a good picking or strum pattern for each, as well as deciding which key to play them in so that I can play the melody and backing chords at the same time. It's a good thing Christmas is still a few weeks away... Practice, practice, practice....

About to get in the arms of Morpheus ...

I just got the new Dresden Files, Cold Days, so I'm happy.

First, though, I have to finish John Connolly's The White Road, which is also very good.

I'm making my list of what I need to do and trying to plan a dinner menu for this weekend. We have our annual Tree Trimming party and I haven't even started getting everything ready yet. Yikes!

I'm trying to decide if Japan took LSD or I did. This can be the only explanation for what I've been seeing in the mountains this year. I have NEVER seen colors as vivid as we are getting this year. I used to think Vermont had a lock of the Fall Foliage colors, but this year there is not doubt that Japan takes home the gold... and red... and green... and tan....and.... and... and.....
I used a polarizing filter, a graduated ND-3 filter to block the light from the upper half of the image, and a skylight filter to warm it all up, but all these do is make the camera see it the way my eyes see it. It really IS this vivid!

No, no. I think he truly resembles the remark. He also resembles dinner, although a rather meager one.

Is this the "chicken" thread now?

Only if you're eating chicken for dinner right now.
