It's not 3pm yet and I'm knackered. I've gone shopping with Matilda, and got stuff for stew and chili and cookies.

Came back and made a huge pot of the Jack Devine stew for Emmett and myself, and the Moroccan spiced veggie chili for JZ and Matilda.

I need to get out of the house. I think it's time to shoo everybody out.

Is Matilda vegetarian?

Is Matilda vegetarian?

No, but the chili is more bite size. The stew has big chunks of beef. Though she has quit on the chili now and is eating a banana.

She doesn't eat a lot of meat, though.

Gah! I inadvertently left the door to my apartment cracked, and my cat levered it open and went wandering. It's dark and there's a busy road at the end of the driveway. And I'm still clomping around on crutches, which puts a damper on my cat catching skills. Luckily smonster and amyth came out to help me look, and the little fugitive flirt of a feline went right up to smonster for easy catching. He's now sulking in the spare room, because I won't let him have any fun.

LJ is hating on me right now.

Yeah, me too.

I decided that I didn't need to go to the grocery store if I made blueberry pie. I had a nap instead.

We are under a snowfall warning tonight. Boo!

I'm back in DC now, and we've got wintry mix, which is just annoying.

Wintry mix the the worst. Since it's raining now, I'm sure there's some in my future.

I have to get ready to go to DH's company Christmas party, sans DH, who is in Vegas. I don't mind it so much since there are some cool people who work with him that I can hang out with. Plus, kid-free evening with free drinks!

this playdate today was ugh. they kept getting out of control. the boy over asked for food 3 times and he did something that knocked the tivo remote off a table and it busted open and one part went missing. he's gone home now and the remote is all back together and working after 3 tries.

I really really want to get the tree up tonight, and I want mac in bed early.
