Our wings are not tired.

There will be no pig consumed by me. I may prepare some for the family.

Still haven't had any Blue Mountain coffee, unless I drank it in Jamaica, which possible. Must put picking some up and consuming on the 2007 list.

msbelle, by all means make a sleeping plan, but also plan to make a new plan, and a new plan, and yes another plan. School should be wonderful for mac in many ways. The structure and schedule as well as the socialization. And you'll get handmade treasures to mount on the fridge!

How did that come about, Connie?

Nothing too fantabulous, just the fact that I'm here at work doing support on a holiday when no one thought to turn on the phones and the rest of the world is taking it easy. I'm on Just In Case mode and writing away.

Now tagless for your comfort.

msbelle, good luck with the sleep plan. It's probably tough on him--especially if he was used to sleeping with other people (or kids) in the same room. I'm not sure what sort of living situation he was in but I suspect there may have been other children in there with him. Switching to solo sleeping can be rough. I hope he can handle all the adjustments he's facing well, too.

Having slept entire nights sleeping sitting up with a kid sleeping on my chest or in my lap has taught me that some things just need to be at times.

We had a New Year's playdate this morning. I'm thinking of making a mimosa. Those two things may be related.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Happy New Year everyone!!! 2007 is...The Year of Pork, whatever that means.
BACON!

Can I cook bacon from frozen? And why did I freeze bacon in the first place?

Yikes. I was just getting ready to see Volver when I remembered I was invited to an open house today. I guess I'll take in the evening show of Volver.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You can totally cook bacon from frozen. I freeze mine and slice across the whole pack for auto-julienned bacon to include in other dishes. It's the tidiest.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Later, I will have sushi.

Okay, catching up on the Rose Parade.

OHMIGOD! The Star Wars Spectacular! The band?! Seriously?! OHMIGOD!

Also, who paid for the floats? Was that a lucas film thing? Seriously!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I freeze bacon in two-strip packages, and it's fucking great.

I have gotten things done today! Wrote a couple of thank-you notes, put all my receipts into my check register, and paid a bill. OK, it's not much, but it's definitely a start.
