I seriously dislike that is starts getting dark so early at this time of year. Right now it's dark around 7 pm, in December it will be 5:30. It makes me feel weird when it gets dark so early and if I happen to go out in the early evening I feel like it's really late and all the stores and whatnot should be closed for the night.
Me too!  The best part of it is when people start hanging lights for Christmas.  After that I'd prefer more daylight please!  I'm a night person; but I still like my daylight!

That sweet potato recipe does sound good! I'm thawing a chuck roast for the crock pot tomorrow. Pot roast is one of my favorite foods.

My giggling at a movie made one of my cats mad. He got out of my lap and went to the couch and no joke, he glared at me. I should pull a cat move and go lay down on the couch now. :lol3:

Been a REALLY long time since I've actually gone OUT to see a movie. I've gotten so lazy, I just wait until it's out on DVD or online
  Good to know it was that good though. Will be looking to see it now.

All this babble about sweet potatoes and yummy food. I've just been reading about how to bake spaghetti squash too and I'm getting hungry.  That's not good, it's nearly 3 am here and what I NEED to do is get to bed and try to sleep for a bit. I was stupid and wrote some stuff for my CV tonight and now my brain is buzzing. Mouse is fed up and walking from me to the bedroom and back with a pathetic look on his face.  I'd best go.

I just got my computer fixed this evening, so I am free to babble again.  Today is my birthday and DH was going to take me to an ice cream parlor for breakfast. Then we were going to pick up a few pints of grape ice cream (the best ice cream in the world) to take home.  But DH got hurt at work last night and I was sick, so neither of us felt like going.  Maybe some other time.

Happy birthday Nurseangel! An ice cream parlor for breakfast? I love it! I hope your hubby is feeling better soon and you get your grape ice cream!

My 7 month old Toki is endlessly trying to play hunt/tackle/dominate my 3 month old Inky... who refuses each of his attempts with hissing and yelling! They've been together for two weeks, but the new baby is still scared of the big boy.  Nails are all trimmed and the Feliway is plugged in... Getting better with each day :)

Sweet potatoes are without a doubt my favorite food.  Been doing the primal/paleo diet with the boy and use partially hollowed out baked sweet potato halves as hot dog "buns."  I like the taste even better than bread :)

Thank you!  The ice cream parlor is Tony's in Gastonia, NC.  They have a window inside where you can order breakfast, then later in the day cheeseburgers, hotdogs and things like that.  The main counter is where the ice cream is sold.  They have all different kinds, but the grape is probably their most famous flavor. We are buying a new refrigerator soon and actually took Tony's ice cream into consideration when making our selection.  Our side-by-side isn't big enough to hold much ice cream.  I think we're going with a French door style, because it has so much freezer space.

@nurseangel We vacation in SC all the time. I think we will be making a side trip to Gastonia next time round!
I love the French door fridge! Our fridge is old, and I secretly keep hoping it dies so we can get a French door style. :)

I hope you visit the beach at Hilton Head! I'm an SC native, Hilton Head (cleanest beaches!) and Charleston (Spoleto festival!) are really the best.

Heading for bed now...11:30 pm here in Cleveland. Hoping will have decent night's sleep tonight. Hey, my predictive text just predicted that entire last sentence! Sometimes my smartphone is almost spooky! ;)

So tired today as the possums decided to play a game of footy (or whatever team game possums play) on the roof last night.. It's a tin roof.  The cats thought the giant boogeycat was coming to get them and dove under the blankets. 

I'm going to climb up there and sever their branch access.  That'll show them.

I'm totally picturing them in my head trembling under the covers hiding from the boogeycat! Poor things! LOL You'll be their hero severing that branch.

Happy birthday Angie!  I'm glad you got your computer fixed!

It's one am and Noodles has finally finished her craziness for the evening.  She was practically howling at me while everyone else is asleep!  I don't know what was up...but then she is a cat!

We've spent most of our time in Myrtle Beach and Pawleys Island.  We loved it so much, we got married there a couple of years ago :)   

We've never been to Hilton Head, but after your rave reviews, I think we will have to plan a trip there soon!

I just read about the Spoleto Festival.  I can't believe I never knew about this before!  (I would probably take in the festival while hubby golfs).

Everyone we've met in SC has been so warm and gracious.  I wish everyone in NY was half as nice :(  Maybe they all need little kitties.  Cat people seem nicer :)

So .... clearly I've babbled enough for the night.  Have a good night everyone!  See you in the morning!

Clearly I'm a liar.  So much for going to bed.
 

All I wanted to do was change my avatar, and I come back to the thread, and Mani is all peer-pressuring me into making post #500.

I couldn't resist!   Yay 500!  Great job everyone!!!

Ok, NOW I'm going to bed.  

Goodnight everyone! (again)
