The roof drains are covered in ice and now it's going to rain heavily. There will be major flooding unless I get out on that roof and chop that ice away...ugh

California's Drought
 

This sucks big time. The government WILL NOT supply California's drought-ridden farmers with its water reserve this year. California produces more than 50% of the nation's fresh produce. Cherries, tomato, onion, melon, broccoli, celery and cauliflower crops are depleted. I don't get the government's lack of priorities at all. Prices will more than double and some farmers may be forced to hang it up after generations of farming.

California's Split 6
 

Just currently drooling over the mirror-chromed Hennessey Venom GT sports coupe...the fastest accelerating car in the world...with a top speed of 270.49 mph.


:tongue:

Finally!
 

The monumental decision to overturn the ban here in Texas of same sex marriage. I'm so happy that Texas is finally coming into a season of tolerance and acceptance of the LGBTQI culture.

WE are finally on the precipice of equality in this state!

:cheer:

There is not enough time in the day for anything including listing what is on my mind!

I have a lot more growing still to do... and a lot of things I thought I had dealt with that it appears I just buried... self growth is a never ending process.

What is on my mind?
 

Is this...

I want to make some home made chocolate chip cookies with toll house chocolate chips. Cause really what else would you use for chocolate chips?
Sadly toll house chocolate chips aren't sold in the supermarkets here in the, UK. I can buy em on-line for £4.99 ($8.34) plus £2.10 ($3.51) for deliver.
I love living here but times like this I don't!

I'd like to sell my house, buy a house in another city, move. After 30 years in the same home, the whole prospect seems overwhelming.

What is on my mind... I feel extremely unattractive tonight... despite all my efforts to accomplish the opposite.

I went to bed early...with a hot pack on my back...
woke up just a bit ago to find hot pack around my belly :|

It's very peacefully quiet inside and outside the house...
I'm so cozy nestled in my 2 fleeces and big heavy quilt...

but I'm craving something sweet from the kitchen ...
I wonder what kinda ice cream we have ?

I'm also craving a certain kind of attention ...
it's good to crave sometimes ....makes me appreciate what I have, knowing my needs will always be met.

Life is good and I'm gonna have a small bowl of ice cream to celebrate!!

Well, for starters, why would you use nasty american brown lumps of wax for your cookies when the best chocolate in the world is made in Europe?

Melt some, spread on parchment paper to cool, and when solid again, chop it up into bits. Easy.

I would kill for French dark chocolate right now.... a little red wine...oh ya

I just got another text from the OR. My mom's surgery is going well. She buried her husband of 60 years, my dad, on Saturday. She deserves more time; to recover from her loss, and to be happy again. She deserves some good news. I could use some as well.

Mom out of surgery now, and the outcome was very positive. On my mind ... how time is a gift.
