“Not dead yet!”

So, it would appear I have a slight change of plans for tonight. Kids still have sleepover. We're still going to watch movies at home. But instead of bringing Italian in, we're going to one of the neighborhood bistros that we've been planning on going to, well, pretty much forever.

It all started with Lewis suggesting that we get into slightly nicer clothes and set the table for dinner, because he knows I value things like that on occasion. Which led to my suggesting, well, if we get dressed and we have to drop the kids off anyway, why not just go out for a meal and let someone else cope with clean up?

Plus, bonus! I get to wear new shoes! Because I'm shallow like that.

Those are some fabulous shoes, Barb.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Oooh, nice shoes.

Wow. The wind out there is howling. Kind of creepy.

Daaaang, those are some nice shoes, Barb. I envy your ability to wear heels.

I have new boots! That were on sale for a ridiculous amount off! [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well, my night didn't work out as planned. I was going to spend the night in the suburbs with friends, but pretty shortly after I got there, she got a call that her mother was in the ICU in Virginia (she was already in the hospital with pneumonia, and they were planning to drive down tomorrow), so she decided she really wanted to head down tonight, so now I'm back home with inside pants and cozy slippers. Also Triscuits and cheese spread, because it's a holiday!

And I agree that quinoa was the fad several years ago.

NYE is best enjoyed in indoor pants, IME.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

we are having WAFFLES for dinner! We have not done that in a long time. And Cinnamon Rolls for breakfast tomorrow. mmmm sugary carbs.

I am also going through the last of my LPs and trying to see what I can replace or already have digitally. Only 3 for sure to go so far, not great. Anyone know of a good place to list LPs for sale online - not really looking to make bucks, just find them a home.

That was the original plan, really, just elsewhere and with other people. And a big bottle of champagne! I have a beer.
