Aww, thanks for checking in. I'm so glad all is well, despite your couple rough days.

I neglected to properly check back in after my own trip. It was wonderful in the Yellowstone area. I thoroughly enjoyed roaming the land of bear and eagle.

Today is my grandma's funeral. She passed away on the 12th. I'm going to miss her.

You and your family will be in my thoughts today, KC.

My sympathy for you and your family, KC. Know that your Chorrol family will be thinking of you.

Many sympathies KC... ...

I have seen the tremendous impact her loss has had on you, and know how hard it has been just to announce it. My heart will be with you today for strength to get through what you have to, for compassion and sympathy for you and your family. I am so sorry for the loss of someone who was so obviously dear to you. I am so sorry KC.

Being over here, I have no real idea of distances involved in these things...However I know some of you aren't all that far away from this Hurricane Isaac...

If you or anyone you know are affected by it...Well...Y'know...Hope all will be well with everything in the end... ...

Hey everyone!

Don't mean to just barge in here but I've been left feeling a little bit sad.

Now I don't really know him as I'm new here but I read Rihanae's latest Lissa update and I felt really sad for him

He's so young to be so sick and it's horrible. My mom had kinda the same thing with heart problems but she didnt get them until she was about 50.

GET WELL SOON RIHANAE!!!!

xxxx

EDIT: OMG I totally didnt see the posts above mine. Now I feel double horrible for going on about Rihanae when King Coin has suffered a loss

Love&Hugs King Coin!

xx

Aye, get well soon Rihanae... ...

Many bests...

And, just so you know...Athynae is also a bit under the weather too at the mo...A repiratory ailment that has her on 4 different meds for it...Now that can't be fun... ...

Hence her absence too... ...

Wishes of the best kind to anyone who's ill or just generally a bit down at the mo...

Rihanae - so sad to hear about your set back and warmest wishes for a speedy recovery.

Heather - Barging is totally acceptable and expected here! You'll always find a warm welcome and good coffee here. Even tea if that's your rather.

KC - I'm glad you're back from your grandmother's funeral. We're still thinkin' about you and wishing you well as you cope with her loss.

So Grits World has been busy lately. Last night was one of those times when there was no time to cook, no time to go out, not enough leftovers for everyone, and the kids needed the morale boost that comes from a real meal instead of cereal for dinner so that they would do their work in good cheer rather than moaning and subsequently being snapped at by me. So I ordered dinner from our favorite Italian place that delivers.

I ordered enough for two nights of family dinner plus a packed lunch, so the spread was pretty lavish. Spaghetti and meatballs were among the offerings, as well as chicken parmesan with a big tub of spaghetti. So I was surprised to see The Boy digging through the fridge for his second (if you don’t count the pizza he ate while cutting up his stromboli) course. By the time I could talk past my own huge bite of pizza, he was firing up the microwave.

What are you doing, I ask. (We had spaghetti with my sauce a few nights ago, and there was one bowl of it left in the fridge.)

“Getting some spaghetti.”

OK. I case you didn’t notice I got TWO KINDS of spaghetti, and these restaurant meatballs are the homemade kind of restaurant meatballs, not the gross frozen kind. Is there a problem?

“No. I just like your kind of spaghetti.”

I guess he can listen to NPR in the car as much as he wants now.

Aww! Sometimes being a parent has its rewards.

That is so sweet Grits! When my son was going to Iraq for the first time I told him I'd make him whatever he wanted for dinner the night before he PCS'd out - he asked for my homemade spaghetti, which is like a two day process, lol. He got it, but I got no sleep (and then didn't sleep for the next year till he was home again).

First, since when does Autumn Mix not have black cats and yellow moons in it? WTF Brach’s?! (Or am I thinking of something else with the cats and bats?)

The Girl and I went on a chicken run/Halloween scouting mission this morning. I scored a sweet pair of black gloves. Costume ones, not real ones that make your hands sweat at a party. But that’s not what I came here to share.

As we rolled past scenes of early autumn splendor with the AC cranked up in the truck to make it feel more seasonal, The Girl pointed out the window and said, “Oh look, a butterfly!” Then she turned to me and continued, “Don’t you want to snatch it out of the air and rip its wings off? ”

“That wasn’t me!” was my lame reply. “That was my character! She, uh… mumble mumble… ”

Yeah, I’m never going to live that down. Shouldn’t have let the animal lover watch me play Skyrim.
