Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Sheesh, Suela, you need a break!

I really need the eyes to See All The Things today. I am in cleaning/decorating mode, but there are lots of invisible things. Like all the stuff piled up on the laundry machines. I can't see it, because to me it's in the laundry closet. Only the doors fell off of the laundry closet last summer, and it is open directly to the dining room where most of the guests will inevitably hang out.

We're doing pretty good, though, and the SO actually rescheduled his Tuesday lessons, so we'll have time tomorrow, too. That was a big relief, because I was planning on having to do all the day-of stuff myself. But if we can get mostly cleaned today, we can deal with food and stuff before the show, and it should be all fine.

Suela - I think you need a do-over for a couple of weeks.

That would be nice, except they finally did post the job announcement, and I wrote about 10,000 words of fiction in the last week, and I would hate to miss out on either of those.

Still, new sinuses would be great. And nobody call me: I sound like a frog.

MEGAN! I know you want to do the Madonna Inn, but if I may make a counter-proposal? Our friend C. has a season pass at a mountain about 90 minutes from us, and we've been thinking about renting a little cabin for a weekend for us all to go play sometime in the next couple of months. I'm just re-learning (last year was the first time I'd been in forever) and ND has never been, so it could be a blast!

I approve of this message.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

HANG IN THERE, MSBELLE!

I got to go to another department's Christmas party, and they were having a Yankee Swap/White Elephant thing, and I got to participate even though I hadn't brought anything! (Someone brought two things.) I ended up with a ridiculous reindeer cookie-jar-looking thing that turns out to have a pine-scented candle inside. I kind of like it.

Fuggly? or Not?

I think they'd look good being worn by Helen Hunt and Sarah Jessica Parker in 1985's Girls Just Want to Have Fun.

Liese -- nail a curtain or pretty sheet to inside of the laundry closet.

"Piggy pudding?!?"

"No, Figgy pudding. It's made with figs."

"Oh. Sorry!"

"And bacon."

"What?"
