124 invoices entered today. I think it will take me longer than an hour to check them all for accuracy, so that will wait for tomorrow.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

And how do people feel about chocolate-covered raisins? Just curious.

A waste of good chocolate. Unless it's bad chocolate. Then it's a waste of bad chocolate, because all chocolate is better than raisins.

Wow.

ETA not meant as a criticism, I just wasn't prepared for such a forceful response

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In other food news, my cat just took a piece of sausage right off my plate! And then didn't even eat it!

Hunting for sport.

Hahaha I have jury duty tomorrow. Will I ever work a full week at the new job?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Back home now. Tired.

Ugh. Have no idea what I should do about Christmas. Sister and BIL are in the midst of moving, and don't know if they'll be settled or have space/extra beds/etc, but also probably won't have time/energy/money to come back to their old location/where my parents are, or only briefly. My dad has been in awful shape for months, and is dealing with hideous back pain and probably can't leave town. Staying with my parents would make me crazy, more than a couple days in a hotel would make my budget crazy. Also, don't want to spend my vacation in a random hotel in Indiana. But if I don't somehow go for Christmas my mother will guilt trip the hell out of me. What to do, what to do....

I like chocolate, but there are many places it does not belong. Macaroons, for example -drowns out the coconut. Also cheesecake for similar reasons. IMO of course. Your goat may vary.

A friend who used to own an Italian restaurant made an amazing triple layer chocolate turtle cheesecake with whipped cream and glazed cherries called Sin. I'm not normally a big fan of dessert, but I'd have crawled through barbed wire for a slice of that.
