Oh! I did not know you were in the DC area, Cabin. Good to know! (I'm NoVa).
I shovelled the driveway, like all the way into the crappy parts where it meets the road. All clear now! And de-snowed the car. I am feeling quite virtuous.
Lunch time!
Hands! Hands in new places!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.
Umm, yeah. I'm surprised so many people remember me. I must be unforgettable!
Like a burr. Or an unwanted houseguest. Impossible to dislodge. ;)

Our wings are not tired.
CaBil, I know we met at some F2F, but I don't have a chance of remembering where.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The local furniture place that sells Stickley furniture is having a Stickley sale. Matilda wants a new chest for her room and I'm thinking of this: [link]
I love this detail: "The top two [drawers] are velvet lined, and the top-right drawer also features a sliding velvet jewelry tray."
Umm, yeah. I'm surprised so many people remember me. I must be unforgettable!
Pfft. You gave me and JZ a ride in your new Prowler at the DC F2F.

I love a sleigh bed, but I don't like it when the footboard is above the mattress (in any bed, ever), so that one is both lovely and structurally approved! Nicely scoped.
I have done our taxes. Ugh. I'm going to re- do with us filing separately to see if it makes a difference, but I don't think it will be a material difference. Blergh.
Now I think I will look at job listings. So I can pay my taxes.
I did make hot cocoa. Accidentally, six servings (I adjusted the recipe down in my head but I then put the full amount of unsweetened cocoa in, so... now there is extra hot cocoa waiting for later. Not a bad sitch, really.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Progress is being made.
Did the two hardest things: cleaning the guinea pig cage and vacuuming.
Got some dust up from under bedroom furniture.
Now I'm going to pay some bills then go get coffee and take a break before I do some cooking.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I’m off work, did the dishes and started coffee for tomorrow. I’ve got Bookclub at 7. I’m going to try to get taxes done before then.
