Happy birthday to Gary! Hosting parties is another thing with added dimensions with a wee one running about.
The money was too good. I got stupid.

I just went through the to do list I pasted yesterday and it is mostly done.
My school paper is 98% donemail. Just needs to be proof read and maybe expand on the conclusion a bit...but that will have to wait until tonight.
Party prep is done, just need to lay out food and drinks in a couple of hours. For now, working on relaxing and my turn to take a shower.

Oh, man, my poor brother. He slipped & fell in the snow last week and tore his quadriceps tendons. And now he has to have surgery and will be immobilized for at least six weeks, with 6 months of PT. He says it's almost impossible to even put his pants on. So awful.

Your poor brother, Consuela. I hope surgery and recovery go well for him.
Today's been all about the baking for me. Gingerbread, linzer cookies, pecan puffs, and buckeyes. My apartment smells amazing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ahahaha, Market Basket?
Kee-rect.
Oh no, your poor brother, Consuela! That sounds awful. Even for a person as lazy as I am!
Went with my mother to get trees (although they were sold out of the table top size I wanted), got the tree upstairs, and then attempted to get it into the stand. The stand that promises to be super easy for one person to use! With a picture of a woman on the box! My mother kept saying, "...maybe we should call [male neighbor]?" I was like, "We are strong women who don't need no man!!!" We did eventually figure out what was wrong, so that's exciting. Will decorate later this week.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I just fumbled my iPad, grabbed it, and managed to end up catching it with the corner landing squarely on my surgical site.
owwwww.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Ow. Ow, ow, Dana!
And poor Consuela's brother!

Ow Dana!!
I made cookies with friends (and one friend made fudge and we helped make truffles) and then we went to a show...but it was with my other friend's exes. And then the not-ex friend posted us on FB. And now I feel bad my friend will see me hanging out with her exes and not with her. :(
