Matt, Creation Cons are such a scam. If you really want to see Kavan Smith, find out which day he's going to be onstage the most, and then go the day of an buy a day-pass. It's much cheaper than any of Creation's package tickets and you won't feel so much like cattle. Of course, Mr. Smith will be treated like cattle by Creation, but there's not much you can do about that.

Bad snow here in Utah last night as well. Domino's sent their delivery drivers home (yes, we were going to make some poor schmoe deliver our dinner rather than go get it ourselves). We were actually quite impressed at the common sense of Domino's, not to risk their people. Hubby pointed out that it would be horrible press to have a Domino's vehicle involved in a wreck.

Just be safe, SO!

This! Yikes.

In more fun news, I won a prize from Tomato Nation's last donation drive!

In less fun news, I have been reorganizing my email. Which is possibly more boring than just sitting here.

I'm glad you're cozy and safe from the snow, Liese. Safe travels~ma to your SO.

I took the kids outside to jump around a bit, but it was way too fucking cold to stay out today. I'm not used to it being so seasonably cold in LA!

He made it in to the music store which is...not what I thought he was trying to do. His midafternoon lessons cancelled, so he's going to teach the first three and decide what to do after that. If it had been a normal day, he'd teach all day and then have rehearsal at night. But I think he may be safer staying in town tonight. If he had to at this point, he could crash at the store. But I don't want to tell him what to do, because he's seen the conditions and it's him driving. Of course I'd rather have him cancel and come safely home, but I can't tell if that's the right call or not.

In the meantime, I have watered All The Plants and brought in All The Firewood and I still have excess nervous energy to burn. What next, sweep All The Hearth?

Vegas, hmmm? I'm trying to make sure I spread out my PTO better this year.

AND early release! God, I love that my boss doesn't give a shit about her job anymore.

I have made it to the liquor store; I'm making sangria, but did not get Gran Marnier (too pricey; D's ex left a bottle behind and I gleefully used it last year) but I did get triple sec to soak the fruit in tonight, once I make it to the grocery store.

I got a bottle of Guinness, too, for the chocolate stout bundt cake I will be making. And Prosecco to ring in the new year!

We are having a small NYE party, about 15 people plus 2 8 year olds (upstairs). My sister and another couple are staying the night, and I am making waffles and bacon the next morning.

Ooh, that reminds me, I have to get cute tights when I make my grocery run tonight!

Oh, you can get individual bottles of Guinness? Excellent! I got what looks like a good recipe for Irish Stew from Penzey's catalog, and it calls for a bottle of the stuff, which I have never liked to drink by itself.
