I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I always make hot cocoa with milk. Granted, I also use the powdered stuff, and mix in a couple of generous shakes of cinnamon, but I think it's nom!

William-Sonoma no longer carries Harney & Son's Tower of London blend for my dad. The regular stuff, but not the blend I need. Damn.

I managed to get out into the garden for about 45 minutes today, and it did me a world of good. It got to the high 70's today, and I cleared a ton of leaves from the front...garden-to-be, where the crocus and hyacinths are coming up. I have a LOT to do to make my yard semi-attractive this year, but it was nice to get out into the day.

Now I'm finishing up lesson plans. I've given myself a stern talking to, and my students can suck if if their papers are handed back longer than they would like. I am NOT going to be pulling regular 80 hour weeks anymore. 65 is my max.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesse, if I see any I'll pick some up for you. I didn't realize it was seasonal or I would have loaded up last time I saw it.

Thank you! It's the one in the round brown tin, right?

Square, but brown. Says "Sipping Chocolate" on the front.

I make it with cream because I am more likely to have cream at hand than milk at any given time and it takes the decadence up to eleven.

Ah, I think that's different. I'm looking for a non-peppermint version of this one: [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

This had better not change my user experience in any way. I have nowhere to run to. I've made an architectural commitment to the SIM card and the T Mobile Android platform.

Hm I haven't seen a non-peppermint round tin. This is what I've got: [link]

Yeah, googling makes it seem like it doesn't exist! Ah well. I just figured it would, and it looks so much like the Williams-Sonoma, I had high hopes.

The E. Guittard on this page might fit the bill: [link]

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

We use this--the center one, though I want to try the chai. I think some of you might like the axylotl one, though.
