Odds 'n ends
I've had lots of little thoughts that occurred to me I should share...snorts....but did I write them down? Nope. I have to say my brain is working much MUCH better these days - hell, I was working on a crossword and wasn't constantly stumped and/or referring to the answers! But mommy-brain is still pretty persistent and therefore lists are necessary.
I could explain about me and puzzles. I've been doing them since I was small. My mom always had Dell books around, and I started doing the easy puzzles before I was 12. Before that, I would attempt to draw the picture that they divided into a grid. I still have a problem with that one; frustration reigns, hehe. I moved on to Kriss Krosses for which you fill the words into an empty grid (NOT Diagramless crosswords, those give me a headache). Then to Cryptoquizzes; you figure out which letter stands for another in a group of related words. Now, my favorites are Cryptograms - quotes that you figure out the code - and Anacrostics, where you have to figure out clues, then put the letters into a grid for a quote and of course, hard and expert crosswords. Preferably with a theme. I learn new words, new quotes and new clues, hee. And it must be Dell. I find the other ones not as consistent. Games magazine is fun, too, but it has different kinds of games.
I found Storm's blanket that needs to be finished. Its crochet, and I really can't wait to get it done. 2.5 more skeins of yarn.
Ritz Chips in sour cream and onion are CRACK! I could not leave them alone! So, now they cannot come into the house. Or I will eat them until they are gone...crumbs and all! If you like Chicken in a Biscuit (hell, if you even know what they are!) you will probably enjoy these.
I wish the storm would get here; this weather makes me sleepy. I went to bed early, had a marvelous night's sleep (excepting the bizarre dream where my MIL (not my real one, just the one in my dream) was trying to either kill me, or drive me crazy because she wanted her son back) and woke up rested. I still want a nap right now. In the recliner, with my favorite afghan and a stupid movie on tv.
On that note, I'm going to open the curtains, and blinds, finish my coffee, and see what I can find on the boob tube.
Off to dreamland with me...for a bit!
