It started snowing here about half an hour ago. I know because I was leaving a friend's house, and got to drive home with the first flakes swirling in my head lights. Very pretty. Not sticking yet.

The idea of setting it up in the midst of my morning routine (you know, when I have a routine) seems like I'd never actually do it

Not that I've used mine in forever, but I'd often assemble as much of the ingredients in the pot as possible at night and leave it in the fridge. Then I'd pour on the liquids, or whatever, and turn it on on my way out in the morning.

I would be very tempted by crockpot goodness smelling up my apartment. Luckily, I don't own one, and it is too snowy to go try to steal sarameg's.

Hello, Natterinos! I don't usually come in here, but then I'm also not usually at home on a Saturday night...

Does gloomcookie ever come in here? I saw this in the paper:

Hello Kitty, the cartoon cat with a cult-like following across much of Asia, has taken to the skies. Taiwanese Eva Airways recently teamed up with the Sanrio Company to offer a Hello Kitty themed Airbus A330-200 that flies from Taipei, Taiwan to Tokyo, Fukuoka and Narita, Japan. Everything from the plane's paint job to boarding passes to uniforms worn by the flight attendants feature the Kitty. Since adding the Hello Kitty plane, the airline says bookings on those routes have jumped as much as 13 percent

I'm also not usually at home on a Saturday night...

First you try to steal boys without having your papers in order, and now you're flaunting your usual life-havingness?

Sheesh, woman. You used to be nice...

Oh, right, I'm going out tonight. Still, I'm not poaching girls. And I won't be out that long anyway.

Aw, meara, it isn't that bad. Barely sticking to the roads. But still, it is a wee crockpot. I'd prefer a bigger one, where I could do a whole bird.

You know what crocking it is good to be home for? Applesauce.

Oh, please, it's EARLY there in LA. AAAAAAnd, there's no snow. Besides, I was all life-having earlier today. Date and all.

Besides, I don't want to STEAL him...I just...well, OK, steal him. But I"ll offer you a fine selection of people I won't steal, in return, how about that??

Ah, that seems much more doable.

It is crazy windy outside -- it's the wind that makes a blizzard, more than the amount of snow, right?

I drank a lot of cheap tequila both Thursday and Friday, so I'm good with being home tonight, but I wish I had gotten more school work done today.

I had an awesome day.

I overnight crockpot most of the time, doesn't bother me at all.

The snow is sticking here now and the wind has picked up a lot.

Alibelle had to cancel on the babysitting, which was a bummer but it worked out okay. MiL came over (not to babysit, but since she'd have been here we wouldn't have needed babysitting anyway) and she brought like 5 lbs of Sees candy with her.

I love my MiL.

Now babies are asleep and grading is being facilitated by candy and the Olympics. Er, that is grading *will* be facilitated once I begin doing it.
