Tonight will be better because then early morning on xmas eve you can stretch, take a swig of coffee or tea, and smugly say to youself "You know where I don't have to go? TJs/Costplus/Godiva, that's where."

Excellent point! (and I agree, beth)

It's possible that I would kill for a nap.

I went to Trader Joe's this afternoon, and literally got nothing I can eat. And I don't have much for dinner. I think it's going to be oatmeal. Or popcorn. Or both. Healthy!

Make kettle corn! Oh, wait, that`s not the solution to healthy. I was going to make kettle corn and cookies for goodie bags, but then my mom sent eight billion cookies so I used those instead, but I have residual kettle corn desire. I was thwarted in my kettle cornness. But hey, more for me when I do make it, right?

I may need to have some popcorn for dinner.

I wish I had popcorn.

I do have edamame.

What is it with me and doubleposting this week?

But hey, more for me when I do make it, right?

Well, exactly.

I am hoping to have leftovers from the cheese and crackers I just bought for the choir, unlike the excellent spread I made for my boss's party, which she kept to serve at another party! Tack-eee.

Well, edamame is pretty important.
 
While we were at the folks` place for Thanksgiving, my mom was super stressing out over wht the grandkids would eat. The older one has bad table issues, particularly exacerbated by her dad`s random discipline enforcement thus resulting in constant dinnertime battles which drives my dad nuts. So mom`s goal for the holiday was all food they would like so there weren`t fights.It`s a bit hard to predict since they`re half-Japanese kids raised in Africa.
 
Anyway, we get to dinner one day and there`s a giant bowl of edamame. Mom mentions it`s because my niece and nephew like it. My niece pipes up, "No, Grandma, we don`t like edamame,.." long dramatic pause, "we LOVE edamame." Hee.

Very cute.
