After another dumping of snow last weekend left me unwilling to leave the house, I was bit by the puzzle bug.  Okay, I did leave the house to purchase the puzzle, but it was totally worth it.

I finished this warm beach scene in a few days and wasn’t even sick of the whole thing at the end, so I’ll likely be going back for another.  I don’t know, I might even bump it up to 1500 pieces.

Wearing my inauguration sneakers (you may remember them as my election sneakers), I watched the swearing in and ate my slice of Obama cake.  The Presidential seal frosting was a little chewy.  I watched on the big screen with a lot of other people from the school.  What did everyone else do?

It’s time I showed a dismal cooking failure here.  This is the second time I have tried to make this cinammon swirl bread.  It tastes delicious, but just won’t come out of my pan.  The recipe is in the trash for good this time.

In case you haven’t heard, Oliver is running around on his own two feet these days.

And lastly, I will accept my friends’ friend requests on Facebook. I see no reason not to. Perhaps I will even make an effort to participate in the Facebook madness.
