The Reprise of a Funny

Previously in blog land I wondered if how people express their amusement offered insight into their personality. My original answer still rings true. I'm a funny haha kind of person. However...

New to the scene is "hee." Amazingly cute, my boss says this to express her sheer sense of bliss with the given subject. Although this isn't used in terms of funny, but in terms of a passive "how cute!" I love it, though when I tried it on it didn't feel right. It felt a size too small... but I think I'll try to squeeze into it.
THe sizes of expression ...

Small - hee
Medium - heh
Large - ha
Xlarge - haha
XXlarge - hohoho (heh. or maybe I'll upgrade that to a "ha" - it's a santa joke. now that's funny.)

Pretty in pink.. or honeysuckle!

Pantone has released its 2011 Color of the Year. Behold... Honeysuckle. Love it.

First Snow

Today was the first snow of the season! Christmas lights are out and glowing, and the snow was gently falling. Not enough to amount to anything, but it was my first sighting. The holidays have begun!

Turkey leftovers

Leftover caramels from our non-existent caramel apples at Halloween and leftover sweettart bones made the perfect turkey drumstick dessert for Thanksgiving. I came up with this one on my own, and I'm quite proud.

Simply score the corner of the carmel with a knife to make an opening to stick in the candy bone. Then press the carmel around it and shape it by molding in the corners (pressing it against a plate was a quick solution).

Cute!
