Was this for Christmas with convicts on Death Row, or just a family gathering with relatives you really, really never want to spend another Christmas with?
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
It's supposed to be really, really good ... they do say it's cholesterol-intensive (possibly leading to intensive care). I got to the eight pounds of butter and my brain just stalled out.

Kat, what's a Beaver Moon smell like?
Cupcakes!! Or at least buttercream. It's really lovely enough to buy another vial or 2. I wish they'd make a scent with maple syrup.

Beaver Moon smells like Jilli minus the chocolate.
Gronk. WOO! ACTUAL SNOWPOCALYPSE.
As expected, I'm WAH again today. I connected at 7:30 before the Mad Rush.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Yesterday the Post ran their food section, including Christmas dinner menus. One involved cooking a pot roast in EIGHT POUNDS (!!!) of butter.
"More butter" is generally the reason restaurant food tastes better than the equivalent meal cooked at home.

At the Pork Store they don't mess around. Your pancakes come with an ice-cream scoop's worth of butter on them.

ooh yummy!
I really hope I get out early after potluck. I have way too much to do before next Tuesday! (Including scheduling a super shuttle. I don't think anyone's around to take me to the airport when I need to go and I don't want to park my car for that many days... Although if I have to take it back too it will be a wash. I should see if I can get a ride home from the airport on that Sunday I get back.)

The second 45-minute commute in one week. Dudes, why were you stupider this morning! We all just did this on Monday! Do you think you've gotten better at driving in snow? Idiot in a Camaro who spun out on the hill a quarter-mile from work. Makes everyone stop while Good Samaritans push you out of the snowbank.
