Oh, and the alcohol is supposed to burn off in the baking and you shouldn't notice any change in taste.

So, I wouldn't bank on people letting 1 oz. slide.

I find this really fucking annoying.

Also, just talked to my parents. They want to fly out for Christmas on December 14th. And then fly home after New Year.

... isn't there some kind of rule about how long your parents are supposed to stay with you?

Corwood, I'm so sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

If there isn't, there should be. Three weeks?!? Do you live in a palace? If not, I vote no.

OK. I did one part of the homework, but the next part is to write about how I'm awesome and then, per my notes, "take it up one level of awesomeness," and I just can't do it tonight. Maybe tomorrow.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Shit shit shit shit shit.

There's a major clusterfuck with the computers at work. I'll have to go into work later tonight.

Well, there's a good chance they'll be staying with my sister, as she has more room, but it's just stressful, frankly. They stayed with me for ten days in June and I was fit to be tied by day 3. Much of it has to do with my mother, who has multiple health issues and yet will not eat healthy, despite repeated directives from her doctors about whole grains, cutting back on dairy and fats, and so forth.

And now my sister's got a new very stressful job, with a lot of extra hours, so she's not going to be jazzed about having them stay for very long. I did tell them that three weeks may be too much, but they need to talk to her. Because I'm all about passing the buck.

Oh, ugh. That definitely sucks.

It sounds like it! Man, I love my parents and generally have a good time with my family, but I'm still coming back from Thanksgiving on Saturday because four days in a row is PLENTY.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I really want to try that CI pie crust. It's pretty close to my standby crust, proportionally (I do some amount of flour, half that of whatever fat I'm using and half that of water) though I think it's got sugar and I don't use any at all and all of that putting some in th efoood processor and then doing something else sounded awfully complicated. I do have a consistent problem with rolling out, so if the vodka helps with that I will be thrilled.

I'm at work now. This really blows.

This really blows.

And not in a good way, it sounds.
