I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

Punishingly Intricate

Do people have a brand of ready made pie crusts they like?

I think Pillsbury is actually pretty good. I haven't used it in a while though.

This weekend is a little insane.

Tonight -- local brother, wife, baby coming over then we are going to dinner and going to see the lights on 34ths st. Although in the car I guess if it's still raining like it is. Later I come home and make caramel frosting Jesse linked to for my cookies I'm making for cookie swap.

Saturday -- Running in morning, A million errands, Christmas and best friend birthday-party related, wrapping presents, making food for the party, partying.

Sunday -- Yoga I really, really hope, more Xmas shopping, more wrapping, making cookies for cookie swap, cleaning house for petsitter, going to cookie swap.

Monday -- Working, more cleaning, packing, meeting with petsitter to explain house and pets.

Tuesday -- Working and flying to Chicago for Midwest Christmas.

I hope to sleep sometime when I'm out there.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Today: SNOW DAY! Yay! I'm going to wrap presents and do laundry.

Saturday: Pack and get ready to travel. Buy one last present.

Sunday: Drive to Tennessee.

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

Thanks Lisa and Cashmere! Pillsbury it is.

Perkins, I've used the Trader Joe's one, and it's pretty good, too.

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

Saturday -- putting the finishing touches on my Secret Santa present and getting it shipped. It probably won't get there in time for Xmas, but close enough.

I'm not sure yet, but I just might be crazy/stupid enough to go on Sunday to American Girl Place for a present for my niece. I think if I get in and out early enough it should't be so too bad.

Tonight: Lazer Awesome Avatar & decorate tree

Saturday: Tae Kwan Do open house, grocery shop & errands, paint kitchen

Sunday: bake cookies, 2 Xmas parties

The new Muppet Christmas special that was on Wednesday past our bedtimes is up at Hulu, so we will probably watch that this weekend too. And I have to get started wrapping. I have one zillion things to wrap (many gifts were sent unwrapped.)

FYI, any of you wanting American Girl stuff, their headquarters and main manufacturing/shipping plant (along with Mattel) is here in Madison. If there's ever anything you want me to look for, let me know. Newer stuff, I doubt I can save you much, but older stuff I'm willing to bet I can find at discount at their outlet.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Perkins, I've tried Marie Callendar and they're pretty good.
