Last Post For a While

December 1 -14, 2013

Less Reason
The main reason I started this blog was that I didn't post my main (Wordpress) blog posts onto G+, due to forgetting to do it.  Well, there was more to it than that, but it was mainly that.

However, on Saturday, that changed.  Wordpress started allowing publicizing on G+.

So, what now?

I'll be using this blog less.  I'll be using it for sharing/promoting any new projects I get out there.  Maybe even projects of friends.  However, regular blogging will cease over here.  Which means I'll have to change the blog's name.  (I just realized that this moment.)

However, before I go... I have two weeks worth of posts that I need to share and one last recipe.

Recipe Review
Orange Creamsicle Fudge

My son's favorite color and flavor is orange.  "Want a popsicle?" "Orange!"  "Want some soad?" "Orange!"  "What color folder should we buy?" "Orange!"  So, when I ran across this fudge recipe, I knew I had to try it.

It is exactly what it says it is.  It is fudge that tastes like an orange creamsicle.  Not hard to make, though not as simple as that peanut butter fudge as I post last time (though little is that easy).

I will advise anyone trying to take a shortcut by pouring the 1/3 into the pan first not to do that.  I tried that with batch 2.  It didn't spread as evenly.  It was still yum, but not as yum as followed-the-directions batch 1.

Finishing November

Deck the Halls!
November 24 - 30, 2013

Adjusting and Decorating
I got my hamster last weekend.  My husky is jealous of her.  "You put her in a ball!  You don't put me in balls!  Give me pets!"  We're all adjusting to the new member of our house and I'm slowly bonding with her.  Additionally, my house is now holiday-fied.  Artwork from holidays past is on the walls.  The tree is trimmed and the light of candy canes are in the yard.  I'm tempted to draw red and green lights with dry erase marker on Queenie's tank.  

My Main Blog Posts
Writing Music: Love Blossom - This video is made of the same old turned unexpected.  I also like this song a lot.

ROW80 11/27 Check-In: Queenie Rules My Mind - A bad week for goals, but no worries!  There was cute!  Check out the video of my new hamster in this post.

WIPpet Wednesday : Snotty - My main character, Lizzie, is going upstairs in messy not-glory.

A Morning in the Life of Me - Ever wonder about the morning routines of other writers?  Well, here's my morning.

Recipe of the Week
Thursdays are my new recipe day.  I'm American and live in Ohio, which means I was having turkey feast that day.  So, in preparation for the holidays, I want to share with you a recipe I made last year that was fast and super simple.
