It's very rare I ever use that emoticon, but it sums things up nicely. I am doing better than yesterday, however. I have the most awesome friends in the world. *hugs to all*
I'm getting more RAM for my computer. I just went to my folks and essentially said 'look, this is what I need, this is why I need it, this is how much it is and this is where we get it'. So I'm adding 2GB of RAM, and Watari gets a second lease on life. I also found a completely packed but untouched pipe under my sink, so my emergency stash has been replenished. And as all I wanted last night was a way to fix my computer and my happy no-pain meds....
I was planning on baking and soaking in a nice bath today, but it looks like I'm heading back over to my sister's to watch the kids.
Anyway, I was pouring over my recipes and here's one of my favorites for a delicious cracker and spread platter. It's great for holidays, parties, tea parties, whatever, and it's remarkably simple.
Raspberry Cheese Spread and Cracker Platter
INGREDIENTS
* 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
* 1 cup mayonnaise
* 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
* 8 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
* 1 cup chopped pecans
* 1/4 cup seedless raspberry jam
* Assorted crackers - I tend to use Toll House.
DIRECTIONS
1. In a small mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and mayonnaise until blended. Beat in cheeses. Stir in pecans. Spread into a plastic wrap-lined 9-in. round dish. Refrigerate until set, about 1 hour.
2. Invert onto a serving plate; spread with jam. Serve with crackers.

Been catching up on RP. I always feel so badly when my characters are absolute jerks to other characters. I know it's IC, but I always feel badly. But hey, it makes for good plottage!And at least Valyn always apologizes after he's been a complete asshole.
SPEAKING OF RP!
So, some of you are familiar with CU, an IJ game I play at. Every so often there are these days where things go whacky. Coming up is Memory Theater Day, where characters will be broadcasting their strongest memories to other people. Maria and Henry are simple, but Dante....
What the hell would her strongest memories be? Any suggestions would be greatly, greatly appreciated from my FMA anime fan friends.
(Also, I love this day, because all three of my characters are fucked. Mostly Maria, though, as she's actively keeping secrets and her strong memories completely expose all of them. Seriously, the ending segment manages to lay everything she's been keeping a secret out in less than a minute. Oh, fun times!
