Sorry It's Been Sooooo Long, but Real Life Takes Precedence

Real life, like there is such a thing:)

Anyhoo.

Life has been busy with work, talking to friends every night on the phone (J is abubblin' over with good stuff finally happening), talking to Mr. L every night via phone and seeing him on the weekends when he catches me up on my non-existent movie viewing , kitty-cat stuff, new projects bubbling up in my head begging to be made into reality (or as close as I can get them to reality, I always miss by a big margin), cooking, and yard work.

Movie watching: Mr. L is a zombie movie fan in addition to comedies. I've seen in the past two months:
Comedies: Heartbreak Kid, Anger Management, Just Friends, I Love You Man, Good Luck Chuck, Knocked Up, The Hebrew Hammer, Hot Fuzz, Run Fat Boy Run, How to Lose Friends and Alienate People.
Drama: No Country for Old Men (which can I tell you I was VERY upset at the end parts, so not what I expected and after all the dodging and running - all for naught and the creepy/disturbing guy gets to go on being creepy and disturbing which is fine but...).
Zombies: Shaun of the Dead, Fido, Zombieland ("Rule 1: Cardio" - this movie was very funny), I Sell the Dead, and last night I saw Dawn of the Dead (recent remake).

New out-of-my head recipe:
Chicken Slambo
Thin chicken breasts pounded even thinner with meat hammer.
Then dipped in melted butter and breaded with a mix of fine bread crumbs and Parm chz.
Then slices of maplebrownsugar ham and Swiss chz laid on the breasts.
Roll breasts up, secure with toothpick.
Bake until chicken is cooked thru.
About 10min before chkn is done, make Hollandaise sauce (I use the Knorr pkt, sooo good).
Pour Hollandaise sauce over chicken rolls - however much you crave.
EAT!
Side of roasted green beans works out very well.

Yard work - the entire yard has been raked, the landscaped beds have been as well so there should be less maple tree seedlings to weed out later, and all the branches have been put in their backyard pile. All the snowplow crap that ended up on my lawn is now back out in the street ready for the street sweeper (if that turns out not to come, I'll have to shovel it up).
