Frances just put on a purple ski jacket with a fuzzy hood. She says she's dressed up as Snow Woman but I think she looks like Eskimo!Willow.
I'm a big girl. Just tell me.

Oh, dang, ita. My suggestion was of course, "isn't that what dinner delivery is for, so you don't starve?" but I don't have the dietary demands you do, either.
I'm about to go see "Whip It", which I'm hoping will be awesome. Possible minuses: it's closed-captioned (or is that close-captioned??) and it's a not-date with someone I don't really want to be going out with at all (someone rather persistent. Who I ended up suggesting a movie with on the thought that at least that way we don't have to interact much. And am suggesting via text to various friends that they join us, right now). Ergh.

Making the spaetzle from scratch is almost easier than using noodles. A couple of eggs and a sploosh of water, salt and flour so you have a sticky dough. Then you dump it in a collander and use a spoon to press it out through the holes into the bubbling soup.
I've never made it from scratch before, but I will never pay four something for a box of it again.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You guys! I have a sofa! In my apartment! My friend took me to Ikea, and I was all ready to buy a $500 loveseat and spend $100 to have it delivered tomorrow or Monday, when at the very end, we checked the as-is room. There was a different loveseat in there, that I had also liked (if not quite as much), but this one was half off! $219! But then it turned out that they don't deliver as-is furniture, but then! It turned out that it fit inside my friend's truck! So I called my parents and they came over, and among us, we got the sofa up to my 4th floor apartment! YAY! So much money saved. And I have it right now!
Wait, how come I'm not sitting on it?

“Not dead yet!”
YAY for new loveseats! Esp. bargain love seats!
My mother gave us a lovely, lovely, pre-housewarming gift today, buying us the new stoneware we wanted. [link]
Really, we should have waited until we moved, but I didn't want to risk missing out on the sale, seeing as it saved over $200 (She bought us 4 sets/16 place settings)

Indeed I am.
Now I have to figure out modem cords and crap.

YAY sofa!

Congrats on the sofa, Jesse, and the stoneware, Barb.
I've spent the day baking, as I'm providing the dessert part of a progressive dinner tomorrow. Venison mincemeat pie, Kahlua brownies, and cheesecake with cherry topping. My apartment smells wonderful.

Ooh, that sounds excellent, Calli.
