lilpadfoot16: Congratulations on your OWL award!! I have missed you so much since you went off to school, and I've been worrying about my little sister growing up and being out there in the real world (as real as college life is). I never seem to catch you online, but I am going to one of these days. I love you!
ltlredhairdgirl: I love you so so much. You seriously make my life a better place. You're there to support me, in fandom and in real life. You supply me with crack bunnies. You call and leave me awesome rambly text messages. I can't believe that we haven't been friends forever. I seriously consider you one of my all-time closest friends (which is why you're the first one on my myspace friends, and why there's original fic out there that only you have read). I don't know what I'd do without you, and I never want to find out.
luahoana: I miss you!! *whines* I miss having you around to talk to, and I miss reading your rl posts, and I miss you writing smut to go along with my smut! I hope that you not being around as much on LJ means that your RL is going well. *snuggles*
lurkitty: Hi Kitty!! Um, what to say to you... I love your LJ. I read it even though I totally fail at commenting. I love how some of your posts are light and humorous and that you balance that with some of the most intelligent, thought-provoking posts I've come across. I love the attitude you have, the way you look at life, and I'm very very glad that we're friends.
macberly: I can't believe more that a year has passed and we still haven't managed to kidnap Orlando. I think we're the worst schemers EVER! We need to do something abou that. *g*
madamsnape: I cannot believe you have a tattoo with hp-speak on it. That is so awesome. Congratulations on being nominated for an OWL award! I hope you have a fantastic Valentine's Day!
maddykitty: I hate it when you disappear for long periods of time! You are so enthusiastic in your love of fandoms and fanfic, it always makes me smile. Your comments that are too long for just one comment box make me want to print them out and frame them. I am going to write that story for you, the one we were talking about over at your LJ recently. I just don't know when. I think we're planning on a truth-or-dare thread at the comment party, so be sure to come by! Or leave me drabble prompts any time, b/c I love your prompts. *hugs*
mimiheart: I feel really bad when I think about how long it's been since you and I actually talked. I can't even imagine how big K & K & D have gotten. I remember the night Kyle called me and left a message on my answering machine. *g* You have the most awesome kids. Oh, and Kahlan-speak, some of which I have written down in various places because I'm totally gonna use that someday! I hope you and the kids are doing well, other than the spider bite. Love you!
minnow_53: Puppies!! I'm pretty sure it had to have been our mutual love for Remus & Sirius that brought us together, but it could have just been my love for your stories. Puppies and crack, what more can a good fangirl ask for? Which reminds me, I so need to come catch up on your LJ...
misread_: Hey kiddo! I think we met in a comment party, didn't we? Maybe through bouncy? However we met, I'm so glad we did. I love your vids, and I love that you've been sucked into the awesomeness that is Supernatural. I'm hoping to put up a round-robin thread in the comment party next weekend, so you'll have to come play, because the last time you and I did that my awesome QaF story was spawned. *g* Love you, michie!
As with yesterday, this is part of the backstory to Just Add Tea but can be read on it's own as well. And I'm pretty sure this one is full of tense problems, so please overlook them.
Harry locked the door of his teashop and turned off the lights before settling into one of the large, comfy chairs. Having a grand opening on Valentine's Day had been a fantastic idea. Not only had he made a decent profit and (hopefully) earned a few customers, but he hadn't thought about Draco at all. Until now, of course, but the evening was always when Draco crept into his thoughts. It was a year ago today that he had left a sleeping Draco and gone off to defeat Tom Riddle -- Harry refused to even think about him as Voldemort, or as any type of Lord; he was nothing but a cowardly, psychotic half-blood who ruined the lives of decent wizards even after his death -- before disappearing from the wizarding world, and from Britain all together.
He had had no other choice. He knew that then and he knew it now. It didn't make the nights any easier though. He had no contacts left in his old life. The only ones he would have completely trusted were dead, and it was too risky to maintain contact with any of the others. He did have Fawkes, though, and he was sure that he would know when Lucius Malfoy was dead. Until then, he'd stay away.
He hadn't wanted to make the deal, but he had been forced into it. Tom Riddle was no more, and Draco was alive. Now if Harry could just forget about him...
Harry sighed and stood up to head back to his apartment. "Happy Valentine's Day to me, I guess."
Recipe of the Day:
Honey Oatmeal Pie
1 unbaked 9-in pie crust
1/3 c honey
1/3 c butter
2/3 c sugar
2 eggs
1 cup dry oatmeal
1/4 tsp salt
In a medium bowl, combine the honey, butter, sugar, and eggs. Beat very well. Add the oatmeal and salt. Mix again. Turn the filling into the pie crust. Bake at 375 for 45 minutes. It should be sort of solid when you give it a good shake on the oven rack. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool some. Serve warm (or rewarmed in the microwave) with ice cream or whipped topping.
This is an old fashioned southern recipe that resembles pecan pie, although it is much (MUCH!) cheaper to make. Some cooks add coconut to the recipe along with the oatmeal. Half a cup is enough for this recipe. This amount of filling makes a somewhat shallow pie, so there is plenty of room for the coconut and maybe 1/2 cup of raisins too.

I don't know. I've had my heart set on homeschooling forever, but at this point, it depends on Chris's job.

Date: 2007-02-08 05:45 am (UTC)Ah ok. Several of my cousins are homeschooled, b/c most of the school districts around here suck. Which is why my kids will always go to Salem, b/c they don't suck. Me and my brothers and sister all went there, and it's good schools. I'd never have the patience to homeschool.
You haven't poisoned Chris yet? :P

Date: 2007-02-08 05:50 am (UTC)I'm not ready for them to grow up. And am I crazy for wanting another one?
Yeah, the schools here suck too. I think we're 49/50 for best schools in the country.
And I don't plan on it, either. *cry*

Date: 2007-02-08 05:54 am (UTC)and only if i am. my life is completely in shambles still and I would LOVE to have another one. even though i really really can't.
stupid schools. I'm glad we're lucky enough to have the schools we do here.

Date: 2007-02-08 06:40 am (UTC)Anyway, I don't have class tomorrow so it doesn't really matter how off kilter my sleep schedule becomes. I was gonna go up and watch Family Guy DVDs when I saw your post and decided to DL more season two of SPN. I think the crackage may be a bipolar thing today, although I'm pretty sure mine's caused by the anxiety pill I took today to try to overcome the panic of my first stats test.

Date: 2007-02-08 06:46 am (UTC)We've had a wind chill btwn -5 and -10 for the last week or so. Our high today hit 23; it felt positively warm! Stupid winter. I want warm weather!!
Season 2 of SPN is more awesome than Family Guy!
I think it's possible that the antibiotics are affecting the way my meds are being absorbed or something.
Did the anxiety pills work? How do you think you did on your stats test?

Date: 2007-02-08 06:53 am (UTC)The niravam helped some, but it kinda put me on a pretty calm wave after the test was over. I was trying to do some harmless flirting with Doogie. It all started because I asked him to kick me if I fell asleep during the test. He said he had a branding iron he could heat up, and I told him I'd scratch him with my nails. But then he called me defenseless and I ended up telling him I was going to bite him and he said he thought he could handle that and in my mind it just went all downhill from there.
Definitely think I at least got a C on it, B at the highest.

I ended up telling him I was going to bite him and he said he thought he could handle that and in my mind it just went all downhill from there. you're so kinky and pervy :P
A C sounds good to me!

Date: 2007-02-08 07:03 am (UTC)I can't help it that I have friends like you! :P Something about him just ruffles my feathers. And when he said "Oh, I have plenty of tricks up my sleeve," I don't even know what the hell that could mean but it quite possibly made me blush. But seriously, who the hell says they're going to brand someone?

Date: 2007-02-08 09:24 am (UTC)I've been sucky about commenting lately as well - sometimes I just feel like I'm on the outside looking in.
Been enjoying the recipes and the RL stuff most of all. I learn a lot from people's lives.

Date: 2007-02-15 05:10 pm (UTC)I'm really looking forward to reading that fic -- I already know I'm gonna love it. *g* Also, I haven't been around for a while (again!), did I already miss the comment party?
And thanks for posting all these recipes. I am going to be moving soon to live closer to my parents because they are not well and need help. I'll be doing a lot of cooking for them, my grandmother, my brother and my sister, so I need all the simple recipes I can get!
no subject
Date: 2007-02-17 09:27 pm (UTC)And you obviously didn't miss the comment party since you're playing with me right now.
Lemme know what kind of recipes you want and I'll be happy to share some. I have oodles of simple recipes.
