I'm cooking tomorrow. Grocery shopping. Hanging with Noah and Grace. Yoga with the baby. The usual sort of weekend.

Cool weekend, Kat.

I wrinkle my nose in distaste at my hot chocolate. It's chocolate syrup and hot milk. Which is too sweet. Doesn't anyone use cocoa anymore?

Jamaicans have some weird version of hot chocolate which I dearly love. Not sweet by default, and often bitter. When I was last there I asked for some at the breakfast buffet, and it turned out they were giving me the staff hot chocolate from in the back.

I'd like to cook this weekend. Maybe I'll get groceries on the way home.

But I probably won't. It'll be a win if I eat dinner period.

So what are people doing this weekend?

I'm spinstering it this weekend - DH is off to see his mom for her birthday. Tonight I'm gonna kick back with my leftover stew and a glass of wine and relax. Sunday I'm going to San Carlos for a travel fair of some sort. I'm not sure what that's all about, but I'm taking the train there and back, so that'll be fun. tomorrow, I don't know. Maybe cleaning the bathroom and unpacking some more. Maybe I will get my ass the synagogue I keep thinking of as "mine" even though I haven't actually been there.

I got myself a bathing suit and am debating where to try to swim. there's a Y a couple of miles from my house, but I don't know if I want to join if I'm only going to swim once a week, but maybe it would make me go more often? There's a public pool a little farther away, but I believe it is closed for the winter. And about half an hour away there's a gym I know of that has a pool and daily rate of something reasonable like $6. I should probably go check them out in person rather than speculating myself to death, huh?

I'm proud of you for singing the solo, Susan. I hope you enjoy it, since you love the song.

Today's special was pumpkin, sage, and chevre. It sounded yummy. I may have to try one this weekend. Possibly get some pho.

Also, I have a lot of cookies in my kitchen that I made last night and dont' want to eat by myself. Hrm.

Um. I'll be right up. Shirley there's a cheap Southworst flight with my name all over it.

Don't call me Shirley.

mm, I want pho. Only good place I know is across town, though. don't know if I feel like making the trek.

I just remembered I can get hot and sour soup on the corner, so add that to my weekend plans.

I just remembered I'm bussing home tonight, and that means I get off right by two Italian places...

But first I have to get through a meeting with the boss. Was supposed to be 4:30-5:30, but he had to delay by half an hour.

I'm so sleepy...

because of way earlier discussion here mac and I had waffles for dinner. They were the yum and I think we have enough for breakfast.

ION, Poor noodle got another note home, there was one last Friday also. Will not stay in his seat and doesn't pay attention well enough. I did not get mad and honestly it may be a losing battle - there is a bully in his class and he is one of two boys that are the targets of the bully. Not staying in his seat is often getting up from the carpet/mat to move away from the bully who comes to sit by him, BUT he is supposed to wait and raise his hand and only move once the teacher has called on him blah blah blah.

IOON, I have a slight fever and everything above my upper lip feels like it might detach from my body and explode. My ears keep closing up just sitting here. I think I might just take the night time meds before I read to mac so they will be in full force when my head hits the pillow.

I don't have any nighttime meds! I hope I sleep anyway. The main active ingredient in the old-school Nyquil was the booze anyway, right?

In other news, I have a new coworker who could give some of our wee members a run for their money -- she's 4'9"! But wears enormous heels all the time, apparently, because I thought she was just regular short.
