Well, I am not that old yet. Heck, I am only in my 20's. I just like to complain like I just turned 40. What am I going to do when I actually do turn 40?!

Have a nice holiday.



Whoa. That is freaky! Next I'll drop a name and you'll say, "oh yeah, I went to high school with that person."

It's like the line from When Harry Met Sally:
"I'm going to be 40!"
"...in 8 years."


Now that I've passed the halfway-to-40 point, do I get special complaining rights? Can I wax poetic to younger people about the good ol' days? And how I had to trudge six miles through the snow to get to class every day...with wild dogs chasing me...

I definitely will have a nice holiday. Get to see my family and my dog and my friends and bust out of the "desperately poor college student" lifestyle for a little while. Good stuff!

I love that movie. It is one of my favorites. In fact, I think I have it on DVD as well.

"I love you."
"How do you expect me to respond to this?"

Not yet. I think to obtain the special complaining rights, you have to pass 30.

Yes, I remember visiting my family when I was in college and taking the opportunity to stuff myself silly. Hard to pass up large amounts of food.

It's a great movie. I'm a big Billy Crystal fan, shame you don't see him around much anymore.

Hm. Well, until I hit 30 I suppose I can complain about the fact that I'm not old enough to complain yet.

Sadly, we're (still) in the middle of re-doing our kitchen. (My dad is a he-man and doing it himself.) Which means I won't get many home-cooked meals. There's plenty of good restaurants around, and since I don't have to pay for any of it I can actually go to some. Honestly, as long as I get my mom's special better-than-sex chocolate birthday cake, I'm set.

Cool. I bet the kitchen will be very nice when it is completed. I love to cook so a nice kitchen is always a welcome thing. Chocolate cake, eh? I have a pretty good recipe for chocolate cake that I have not made in a long time. I hope it is everything you are hoping for it to be.

I love to cook, too. I miss doing it when I'm out here - no kitchen in my dorm suite. I miss it at home, too, nowadays. lol

What's your favorite thing to make?

I do not know. I like making lots of things. I particularly like to bake. I have this white chocolate cookie recipe I really like. I have a pretty good brownie recipe too.

How about you?

I like to bake, too. My family has sugar cookie and snickerdoodle recipes that have been passed down for generations and are delicious, plus my mom's killer chocolate cake recipe, and a lot of others.

My favorite is pancakes, though. At risk of sounding overly corny, making pancakes make me feel at home. I guess I have a lot of fond memories associated with pancake mornings.

Pancakes are good, though I rarely get them. I have a pretty good recipe for them, but nothing special. I signed up to take some cooking classes so hopefully I can improve upon some of my skills.

Oh, that's so cool! I am ridiculously jealous. I went through a period last year when I was really hating my school and dreaming about dropping out and going to culinary school instead...

Obviously I didn't, but I still think it would be amazing!
