I'm getting frustrated with a knitting project, and nervous about a party I'm going to tomorrow.
Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm reading Yuletide fic until I hit a wall and then switching over to something expiring from Netflix Instant. This will continue until the wine makes me too sleepy.
BFF has gone to bed. I'm checking in on my work email to see if anything has exploded in my absence.
rsvps are at 11! for the come and go casual hootenanny at my place wed. good stuff, I can make all the foods. still 21 people plus families not responded, but whatever. the people who are coming are people who will totally get along and talk amongst themselves. YAY.
I'm flopped out on the couch with a cold, so my one beer is likely to go unfinished. As is any idea of NYE plans, which I'm actually totes okay with.
I am now working my way through Yuletide's Brooklyn Nine-Nine offerings. I require moar wine.
I'm drinking a gin toddy, all Christmas Carol-like.
In the last week I've exposed both of my children to the Firefly pilot.
Emmett's take: "There's only 13 episodes? Why?! This is good!"
Matilda's take: "Is that her [Inara's] boyfriend? [JZ tries to find an appropriate way to discuss a Companion]
Matilda: "So she has a lot of boyfriends?"
(Also, lesson learned. Matilda is not ready to watch Firefly.)
I had a glass of wine at dinner, but forgot to post. And then made sure kids were packed for quick NYE visit to HMB.
And then checked heads for lice. I have become the mom who checks her kids' heads for lice 2X a week. Because there's an outbreak every year, and it usually hits our house, and I'm tired of it. I do wonder if the cure is worse than the disease sometimes (usually the times when I decide we need to do a thorough combing instead of just a casual check).
I had a maple pecan porter. It was, as ever, not quite mapley enough.
That sounds fabulous, though.
