We are making five kinds of cookies today. Made the dough for two last night do they could chill. Mmm.
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Have ironed and hung (and/or rehung) more curtains, taken out recycling, cleaned the bathroom, showered, put away the laundry. Next I have to go out for a couple of Christmas things, but first lunch. Also hairdrying.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I should be cleaning. Or doing something productive with my unexpected day.
If you need a break, try this. Composer or Pasta? [link]

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Last-minute shopping is done, I have to wrap this pile of presents now. And I think I'm coming down with a chest cold. Urgg. Just want to go back to bed.

Because books.
Wow, I only got 13 right. There is both a lot of pasta and a lot of composers I've never heard of.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm on the road to NJ. Stopped at Denny's for lunch. Route 80 is so boring.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Today is present wrapping and pie-dough making day, although both may be slightly hindered by my taking a chunk out of my thumb while slicing potatoes for a gratin. The cut's not deep, but it's bleeding like whoa.
In other news, something that is unexpectedly delicious is the latte that the local coffee shop makes with a brown sugar and rosemary syrup.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
We are, Kat. Let's make a plan to get together at some point during the break.
That latte sounds delicious, Anne, and I'm not usually a latte drinker.

Ow, that sounds very painful, Anne!
Minor holdup in the cookie making--three kinds of dough done, one set of cornflake wreaths done, and THEN we discover my sister somehow only owns ONE COOKIES SHEET. Wtf, I ask. Brother in law has gone to purchase more.
