The only thing I have done for the party tomorrow is to soak the black beans (well and clean and bought alcohol). Not good. I need my back and head to give me a small break so that I can deal with this stuff. It would also help if it would stop snowing.
Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

if I ever get my ass off the couch, I will go find the menu in my luggage and post it, because it was so good!!
I've had Muriel's. It was amazing.
We used to sing there at Christmas, and a couple times afterward, they fed us. That was pretty awesome.
My friend's husband was the Sous Chef there. I wonder if it was one of his meals that fed y'all!
The pictures from the Jerusalem F2F were awesome. A perfect example of why I love this board, even if I don't post much. And Seska, I'm glad they are BEng nice to you. My stomach is a little in knots for you.
Ahhhhhhhhh. I feel so much better. KBD's recliner, stocking cap pulled down over eyes, heating pad on shoulder, cat on lap, and Tara Brach on my iPod. I feel like a wet noodle, as my mom would say. The absence of pain is a marvelous thing.
For anyone interested in Buddhism, meditation, or just non-judgmental awareness, I really recommend Tara Brach. Her free podcasts do amazing things for my anxiety.
And then we came back and the dog peed in the dining room. Not while we were gone; after we got back.
Well, of course. If he does it while you're out, how are you supposed to get the point? Whatever point his little dog brain thought he was making, that is. Because I'm sure it was something.
Umm, Gumbo Shop. I want to go back to NO. But my next vacation, wherever it is, I'm going to take my planning example from Nora and make sure it's a foodstravaganza.
You can bet I bookmarked Nora's post. If she's reccing a restaurant, I wanna go!
