Marksmanship

Does anyone know of a good way to use approximately 6 ounces of cranberries? I bought them a while back thinking they'd be a healthy snack, but have turned out to taste like sour crabapples.
And anyone who's been in the field behind my house knows all about crabapples.
So any recipes or ideas? I'm not opposed to meats with weird fruit sauces on them.

Oh my goodness. Did you hear that lady's laugh?
YIKES.
Like- you know that sound a balloon makes when you stretch the neck of it and let the air out of it slowly and painfully?
That's how this lady's laugh was.

This might be one of the most boring posts that I've had in a while, but every so often, I have to include one of these to make my other posts more outstanding. It's the same reason I listen to bad music sometimes. It makes the good music that much better.

True story.

On a scale of 1 to 11, this next part is probably one of the nerdiest things I've ever done.

"But Allie, you didn't use the scale."
Precisely.

Back story:
I don't like where I live anymore, so I'm going to be moving out soon.
Ish.
And apparently "ish" means 7 months.
My lease comes due in the summer, and then maybe I will be able to poop without an audience.
Too much information?
Too bad.
I'm tired of the fishy smells, the loud music, the armed robberies, and the irrational usage of toilet paper.

Moving out gives me something to look forward to- enough to make me giddy with glee. So I then proceeded to (here's the REALLY nerdy part) make an outline of the things I need to organize and how I'm going to go about organizing them so as to streamline moving out.

It's brilliant, right?

It's also four pages long.

So as a reference, I posted it as a separate "page" on my blog because Blogger was like, "Hey! You don't have any pages yet!"
And I was like, "Yeah? Well guess what I'm going to do today!"
And they were like, "What?"
And I was like, "Make a page."
And they were like, "Great! Do you want your pages to be up, down, all around town, or just link them manually?"
And I was like, "Link manually so that NO ONE ELSE CAN SEE THEM WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. MUAHAHAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Not really.
But almost.

And you'll get to appreciate my outline html skillz that I developed about an hour ago.
I really could not be a programmer.
Ever.

Anyway, the first part of the outline under "Buy" kind of counts as my Christmas wish list. It's just a list of a few simple devices I'd like to have for my move on to the next life.

Geez- I sound like I'm dying.

So, finally, here is the link:
Organs.
It will either inspire you, entertain you, or make you want to high five someone in the face with a chair.

And that someone would be me,

  1. Blend them up with strawberries and blueberries (frozen if need be) and milk and make a smoothie.

    Things that I hate during Benjamin's afternoon nap:
    1) motorcycles
    2) helicopters that shake the house
    3) trashtrucks

    You must have been REALLY bored to sit there and make that list. It looks like you have your work cut out.

  2. I am okay with Lisa Frank in the following contexts:
    1. Paperclips: yes
    2. Folders: probably not
    3. Envelopes: mebbe
    4. A blank book: nope
    5. Hangers: nah
    6. Umbrella: nope
    7. Recipe box: nah

    Does this answer your question?

    And a cranberry smoothie? Can I put turkey in there and have like a thanksgiving milkshake?
    Business idea #12.

  3. That would be the nastiest milkshake in the world.

    No, just use fruits. The idea is to mask the cranberry flavor. If nothing else, celery will.

  4. I can't tell you how afraid I was to click on that link.
    And I also can't tell you how excited, I too, am to be able to poop without an audience.
