I just made a delish risotto with sugar snap peas. Yum. Tomorrow I want to make pumpkin pancakes for breakfast.
Also, discovered that those little bottles of crappy wine you can get 10 for ten bucks at the grocery store are perfect for having on hand to cook with without sacrificing a bottle (or hell, a glass) of wine I actually might want to drink.
Also for "You must buy the 100 tealights."
Best part of IKEA ever. I need like ten of those bags of tealights. Sadly it's financially ineffective to try and ship them. I sense a drive to Seattle in my future. Because those are fun for reasons other than tealights.
I just lit some candles... Mmm, tealights. Candle porn.
Ozzie is such a great kitty (when not suffering from Cat Rage). He's a big needy bowling ball of a cat. (I love Ozzie.)
I adore Ozzie too, actually. But I feel compelled for giving him shit for beating the crap out of me that one time.
Thank you so much! I'll let you know if we need to put a Rescue Allyson from O'Hare Plan into action.
I love Buffistas.
Big Family Christmas Party last night. It was wonderful.
I slept late today, ate, took a nap, ate some more. I think I may finally be recovered from the last three hell weeks at work.
We plan to spend New Year's Eve watching PBS. Huh.
I have not heard from Allyson but, from the looks of the United Flight Status page, it seems as if she made it to Chicago and might possibly be sitting on a plane bound for LA right now.
My plan for NYE is to watch a bunch of free OnDemand movies. It seems there's a whole new TCM section now. First up,
Gilda.
Fay's still in England, right? Bombs went off a little bit ago in Bangkok at their New Year's festivities.
Unplanned bombs? Yikes.
My plan for NYE is to watch a bunch of free OnDemand movies.
Ooh! I watched North By Northwest earlier, but otherwise, I can't seem to stop watching Law & Order. I feel like it's all I've done for two days, even though I can prove I've done other things as well.
Yikes
Very yikes. Fatalities, and the government's shut down the festivities.
Okay, just heard from Allyson. She is, indeed, in Chicago but is waitlisted for the already overbooked last flight out. She'll know in the next half hour if she's flying out tonight or not.
If she ends up stranded there, and since they would probably put her on the first flight out tomorrow morning, I think I've talked her into checking into the Hilton at the airport and running up a nice room service bill.
