Facebook that is.  Today, the New Oxford American Dictionary announced that the word of the year is “unfriend”. Defined as: “v. To remove someone as a ‘friend’ on a social networking site such as Facebook." The linguist in me finds this very interesting.  New words are intriguing BUT according to a spokesperson for the New Oxford American Dictionary “unfriend” was first used in the 1600’s in much the same way, just with a different modality.

I was listening to that story on the radio as I pulled up to a local produce market and saw this:

Part of the charm of the Milk Pail is it’s old world charm.  See?

Well, it’s on Facebook, consider yourself notified.  Lastly, Shaun turned on XBox Live and exclaimed “AWESOME! Facebook is on XBox now!”  Seriously-it’s taking over the world.

Why was at my local produce market you ask?  Picking up some more pumpkins.  The pumpkin butter was a failure :(  I’ve done some more research and I’m ready to tackle it again.  I’m Working From Home tomorrow so it’s a perfect day to try out my new and improved recipe.  I’m making it without refined sugar and it’s definitely taking some tweaking.  Elaina tried it today and said it was good and “she would eat it” but I want it to be GREAT.  I think I put too many spices in it last time and it took over the consistency. I really hope this batch turns out!

I came home to meat marinara in the crockpot. I only needed to boil some pasta and I used extra pizza dough from last night to make some breadsticks.  Shaun actually got home around 6:15 and we had dinner as a family-it was great!

Here’s my dinner:

I took a big bunch of spinach, put about 10 whole wheat penne pasta on top (I went light on the pasta so I could have breadstick), and topped that with the marinara and parmesan.  Lu ate about 1/4 of that breadstick.

Lu loves pasta and marinara and was too busy chowing down to smile for Mommy. So no cute pictures of her tonight.

With that I think I’m going to go watch some So You Think You Can Dance (dance…dance…dance…) with my hubby.  Tomorrow we get to go see the tour LIVE! How awesome is that?!?!?!
