Why oh why did I agree to a call with my financial guy this morning? I have no interest in thinking about anything right now!
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

Remember my father's semi-crazy super-low fat diet? I talked to him about it a few days ago, and he says he's dropped his cholesterol by 40 points since Sept. 1. He's following a 10% total fat diet. My stepmother is following along, my sense is somewhat unwillingly. I did not bring them any pumpkin bread. My father checked the fat levels on the Triscuits he fed my kids.

I had pancakes with maple syrup for breakfast. They were lovely, and that's enough maple sugar for the next few months.

Whew, I left my badge at work, apparently; it was on my desk when I got in (thanks to one of my co-workers I only ever see in the parking lot, hooray for nodding acquaintances!)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I had a McGriddle for breakfast. Those have maple syrup in them. Or maybe "maple" flavor.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I have work to do and zero motivation.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I started the process of rolling over my old-job retirement plan and paid a couple of bills, which seems like more than enough to have accomplished today. I kind of want to go to Target as well, but we'll see.
I talked to him about it a few days ago, and he says he's dropped his cholesterol by 40 points since Sept. 1. He's following a 10% total fat diet.
Wow. I mean, assuming he had a cholesterol problem, that does seem really effective! But also miserable.

I'm actually not too enamored of maple flavor.
How can this be? Maple is my one true flavor. I mean, after cheese and salt. Then maple.
I think I may make maple caramels today.

Mmm, maple.
Today I need to make bread. And maybe I'll do a double-batch and do sticky rolls as well. Sticky rolls are a good way to start the year, yeah?

We are in Dallas for the day, and spending NYE with the DH's 92 year old first cousin twice removed. We fly home tomorrow, and I am so looking forward to a few days there before going back to work on Monday.
