Been a long time.

I know I told you I'd post something.  This is the busiest month for us at work, which makes doing anything outside of work almost unthinkable.
Almost.  

• Have I cooked?...yes, lots.  Not much new though.  This is a time for fallback recipes...golden oldies, old faithfuls...and lots of scrambled eggs. 
• Have I made stuff?....surprisingly yes, but most of it is in preparation for Christmas so these things can't be posted until after they are gifted. 
• Has anything notable happened?...Yes.  
• We had a flood in our kitchen.  A valve exploded and we had about 15-20 gallons of water in the kitchen floor before we could get the water main shut off.  We spent more than an hour using every towel in our house sopping up and wringing out the water.  Fortunately the water didn't get further than the kitchen, and the floors are still livable.  Is there damage...yes, but it's not major. 
• We celebrated an anniversary, several birthdays, and homecoming.
• We decided it's okay for our dogs to sleep inside most nights so they'll stop barking at the crazy neighbors who stay up too late and get up too early.  They have their own room.  It's been nice.
• I'm sure there is more...but I can't remember.
