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

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

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??

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.

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.

YOU'RE TAUNTING. THAT DOES NOT HELP YOUR CASE ANY.

Trying to decide what to wear to the brown belt celebration/co-teacher birthday party tonight. Black cap-sleeved top with pink flower over the breast and the dark green broomstick skirt, or the shorter, ragged-edged black skirt with an as-yet-undetermined top? Same new boots either way. Hmm.

CSI is messed up this week.

Unrelated to that show, I do love the gesture where you put your hand thumb down over someone's mouth to stop them from talking and then raise your index finger to your own lips in the "shush" position.

Okay, headache needs to go away so I can go out. It has an hour.

Dude! See, you have a life! You're having more of a life than me! I vote the ragged edge black skirt, it sounds hot.

You're having more of a life than me!

a) Not a date
b) I won't have a life unless the pain stops
c) I'll only have a life until the pain starts again

To which end, I think I'ma have a lie down.

The ragged edge skirt does rock. I'm just not sure I own the right top for it. I have that omission too often.

Point of information: What is a broomstick skirt? (I think I want one. I assume it's what one wears when one flys on a broomstick.)

Do you *need* to wear a top with it?
