Snow????

6:15 and running off to work
Work has totally blocked access to livejournal for me (as well as other 'social' sites). Every day they block more. I know, I know, I'm supposed to be working while I'm there, not browsing or reading. But, the nature of my work is that there are up times, and there are down times. If I have five free minutes, is that enough time to devote to a ( Read more... ) -

Yes, it's my birthday today. One more year, and I'll be ready to set off on my own adventure, But for now, I’ve got a little birthday present for the f-list. Sort of a mathom, sort of not. The little ficlet is new, but the recipes are passed down from the family. Hope you enjoy!
