I had a plan to be productive, but may have gotten sucked into one of my most favorite HGTV shows--"Income Property"! If they switch to House Hunters, I'll go do work. I need to do a bunch more cleaning of the apartment because I have a new roommate moving in tomorrow. Which is scary--I don't know her at all, she's a friend of a friend, but she said she likes Sherlock and Dr. Who, so I'm hoping she's good people.
Mal: Okay. She won't be winning any beauty contests anytime soon. But she is solid. Ship like this, be with ya 'til the day you die. Zoe: 'Cause it's a deathtrap.

I adore the Income Property guy. So cute.

Oh, and if anyone wants to be productive while chatting over facetime/facebook/gchat, I would love to...

Punishingly Intricate
Emergency cake is in the oven!!! It's this one, btw:
Our friend who was going to make it is gluten-free so this cake has the double benefit of not using flour and being made with a couple of the bday girl's fave ingredients. (Friend is also vegan but she was making a butter/egg-ception for this cake!)
Hope it turns out! And that the snow we're getting now doesn't screw up the evening's plans.

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

I can get on facebook chat. I'm doing a Udacity course, with sound, so video probably wouldn't be the best way now.

I'm checking in for my flight to NYC tomorrow. We got the snow fairy here in Chicago last night. I think I'm just going to assume that my flight will be delayed.

Hil, for me the voice is more the point--I want to be chit chatting with someone while my hands are doing productive things! ...so far I'm doing OK on my own but feel my energy for it ebbing as I create more and more bags of garbage that need to be hauled downstairs. But I found my Christmas ornaments! They were cleverly with the Christmas cookie cutters.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, Gray's. You have got to be kidding me.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Thanks, Jess, that makes me feel a bit better. Dropped off the car this morning, signed a form, was out of there in 5 minutes.

OK, it is 2pm. I have cleaned the pantry and fridge, eaten lunch, written all my Christmas cards, and taken out some trash (a product of cleaning). I have not, however, gotten my windshield replaced (oops, kinda forgot that was on the must-to-do), showered, done more laundry, or figured out if I'm going to a friend's Christmas shindig this afternoon. (I kinda feel like I need to, but it's far. And if I go out there, I should go to the dance/lesson nearby, since I'll be there. But I'm feeling kinda tired...and maybe like I should keep going while I"m on a roll, since the roommate moves in TOMORROW)
