stay in my pj's all day and watch the Law & Order marathon.

I am avoiding the marathon like the plague. If I get into it, I'll never get out. It's like that drug spiral, it's an L&O Hole.

Bitches!!! Happy 2008!!!

How much do I love Teppy and The Boy together?

The Boy is working on cleaning out his closet so that I can hang up my hang-up-ables, but it's a slow process, because he keeps trying things on to show me. (It's totally adorkable, and I love him for it.)

So so much.

I'm still in my pjs. Didn't get home till 3:30. Braved the snow and went to Racine for a dinner party and had a great time. It had stopped snowing by the time I went home and the roads were mostly clear.

It's snowing more now, but it's also blowing snow, so I'm not sure how much is new snow. My apt. is on the 5th floor and I have snow drifts on my window sills because of all the wind. It's kinda cool.

vw, your neighbor is nosy but adorable. And the adorable wins out for me.

We're doing a Supernatural marathon over in that thread. I have jammies on, coffee and just ate some delicious breakfast. It's a good day.

Just got back from brunch with Hil. Torchwood Marathon via tape from Debet.

sighhhhhh

Oh! Got an earpiece for my phone for Christmas. I named it Capt. Jack Harkness since it's bluetooth and will connect with anything.

I have taken down and put away Christmas decorations and tidied up the house. I am now at work trying to learn how to format a ginormous Excel chart, so I can mail it out and leave.

I am constatly refreshed by looking at my desktop, which is this picture: [link] I used to have it up on my wall in college. I got the complete Boz for Xmas and it made me wonder if the cover still looked like Teh Sexay to me. Yup.

B&N gift card spent. I got a Regency romance by one of my author friends (Vanishing Viscountess by Diane Gaston) and two research books--Wellington in India by Jac Weller and Napoleon's Marshals by R.F. Delderfield. And in a few days I'll come home from work and find a box of goodies on my doorstep!

I'm such a geek.

I've finished the marmalade I started last night. Good balance of bitterness and sweetness, clearer than my Seville marmalades usually turn out. Have concluded it is the Perfect Marmalade.

MMMM. Marmalade. I'd say nom nom nom, but my tummy is very happy now.

Last night party was a lot of fun- I had no problems enjoying myself. the restaurant had dinner inside - the they cover the back patio and had heaters and another band ( that did more dancable stuff). Every time I went inside to listen to Matt play I ended up with more wine. But because of the amazing Duck that I had for dinner - never went over the edge. I think I kissed a billion people from midnight to 1230 I love living in a place where I know and like so many people.

this day is very social. first we had brunch( nom nom nom) at a neighbors ( with pimosas) and had to leave there to go to lunch with other friends - Indian food ( nom nom nom ) and now we are resting a bit so we can go to the silent movies tongiht. One of our neighbors rented the silent movie theater for a neighborhood party.

happy new year friends!

happy birthday Susan

I had the most boring New Year's Eve ever, as I had been fighting a migraine all day long, so bugged out of the party I had planned to attend. I vaguely heard some fireworks, but that was about it. On the bright side, I had no angst, no crankiness, and today the migraine is mostly gone. I'm still in my jammies, but I have made homemade soup (not black-eyed pea, but it smells good) and have done dishes. I need to do more dishes and work on cleaning up, as my mom is visiting on Sunday on her way to Arizona. Meep. I think I may eat some soup first.

And thanks for sharing the conversation with your neighbor, vw. It's just adorable.

eta: Happy Birthday, Susan! Saying that was actually the purpose of this post, but I appear to be easily distracted today.

For the first day back to school, I have a snow delay! Whoot!
