Sunday, April 22, 2012. Somethings Finally Blooming in ND! Links to this post. Labels: gardening and flowers. Thursday, April 19, 2012. I'm in love with my SB800! I've been working hard at understanding two new things to me: off camera flash, with my Nikon SB800, using the D300s as the "master", and the SB800 as the "slave", set on remote. One thing which has made a huge difference was picking up the "One Light" DVD by Zach Arias on eBay, and it is incredible! Like, whole sentences full! Anyway, here are...

http://mypixelatedoasis.blogspot.com/2013/04/and-now-we-interrupt-this-winter.html
Sunday, April 7, 2013. And Now, We Interrupt this Winter Weather Snit for a Disney Cruise! A month ago, we got back from one of the real treats of our life, getting to go on a Disney Cruise, in March! This anticipation of an escape from the winter doldrums keeps us going during the long November, December, January, February, March, April (and yes, often even May) months of winter. Not too long after unpacking in our cabin, it's time for the mandatory life boat drill. Strangely, we don't have to put t...

http://mypixelatedoasis.blogspot.com/2013/02/yogurt-specific-carbohydrate-diet.html
Friday, February 22, 2013. Yogurt: Specific Carbohydrate Diet. One of the staples on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet is home-made yogurt. Happily, this is a very satisfying thing to make. . . . and eat. The Specific Carbohydrate Diet™ is biologically correct because it is species appropriate. The allowed foods are mainly those that early man ate before agriculture began," (from Breaking the Vicious Cycle website. And besides, I get to eat some delicious yogurt! I wish I liked yogurt. I am glad to hear...

Saturday, March 31, 2012. Spring in D.C. Washington, DC sure does Spring prettier than North Dakota does Spring! Links to this post. Monday, March 19, 2012. A Toast to the Ex-Prez and St. Patti. After the most wonderful speech by President Clinton, my friend Ute, and I, and toast the Ex-Prez and St. Patti's Day. During Clinton's speech, he said that now that he's gotten "old and decrepit" he's learned that "Big beats little, tomorrow beats yesterday and renewal beats resentment.". Wouldn't that be nice?

My Pixelated Oasis: Husband Loses It over the Weather in North Dakota (understandably!)
http://mypixelatedoasis.blogspot.com/2013/04/husband-loses-it-over-weather-in-north.html
Saturday, April 6, 2013. Husband Loses It over the Weather in North Dakota (understandably! We're in the f*ing suckhole here! This is what my mild-mannered, sweet-natured good-humored husband said today. Because of our f*ing weather. I don't disagree with him in the slightest. Enough already! 30 degree weather, snow, and the ugliest, bleakest, greyest landscape you can imagine, while the rest of the state gets to have 50 degree weather. And Montana gets to have mid-60s, double our weather! Pat - 2009 POTD.

Tuesday, April 9, 2013. Disney Magic Western Carribean Cruise: First of Five Nights. I love how relaxed and tranquil Doug looks now! I don't think you can actually relax on a vacation until you've got all the logistics of getting there finally accomplished, and this is The Moment: (Maybe. Maybe it's still "Fine! Take the picture already! See all that white stuff on Miami Beach? The little pilot boat cracked me up! Impressed with the circle! Apparently, our usual weather curse took a vacation this trip!

My Pixelated Oasis: Some Poor MisGuided Souls LOVE Winter!

Saturday, February 23, 2013. Some Poor MisGuided Souls LOVE Winter! It's true; there are those who love this white stuff and relish the idea of bundling up and heading out into it. And even though this was considered a gloriously wonderful day in terms of the temperature (15 above; keep in mind that our windchills registered around 37 below this past week), I still can fill volumes listing the ways I hate winter. 4 The worse thing about filling your gas tank is NOT the price! Hum, what is a sun dog?
