Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My cat is not feeling well today. She is uncharacteristically quiet and I am concerned. I hope it's just a passing thing. I have a cold myself today - I'm all stuffy and headachy.
And it was raining this morning. Not so much now - just misty and wet out.
Yay for almost home!
The SO is getting ready to give it another shot this morning. Last night the forecast said there would be a four hour break in the snow this morning, but today the forecast calls for snow showers all day. So we'll see.
I used my new kitchenaid for the first time, AIFG!! My stout cake is in the oven and the mix tasted great.
My sister texted and she won't be able to make it for NYE, for which I feel sneakily relieved. She's a good girl, and I would be happy to have her, but now I feel like I can relax a bit more and just party, and not be a Hostess, you know? Everyone else coming are all good, old friends, and they take care of themselves.
I WILL have 4 kids under 10 here, 3 of whom are staying the night. M is SO jazzed!
Yay, aren't they awesome? I love my kitchenaid, yes, I does.
I tried getting up several times this morning and it just didn't take. Did rake up my postage stamp and discover my downspout has indeed split a seam, damnit (I was certain it hadn't, this may be a recent development.) I can't imagine replacing it during the winter, but since several of my neighbors have done theirs recently, maybe I can get quotes now.
Motivating to go swim, since they close at 5:30 today.
Definitely am in the thick (hahah) of the headcold right now.
I am awake now, so should probably go greet my houseguests!!
Erin, I am glad you're living your KitchenAid mixer. I got mine for Christmas about 7 years ago and have used it twice. 2011 should involve a mixer-use goal for me.

Doesn't posting count? Morning!
Wow, Apple's tech support is kind of blowing.
Liese, I have become oddly invested in your SO's travails to get home to you. I think perhaps because I don't think I'll have my SO with me tonight. I just spoke with him and MiL has a resistant infection in her lungs. fie! I'm bummed because I suspect this means she'll be sick for a good while.
Happy New Year, Billytea!
The weather here is chilly and bright: it was 37 when we ran in the woods this morning. And now I have cleaning and cooking to do, because I spent all day yesterday reading Yuletide on the futon.
I'm having a quiet night in with a friend who lives around the corner, and I'm hoping I can talk her into watching Truly, Madly, Deeply, which a friend of my sister's found a dvd of used somewhere. Alan Rickman and Juliet Stevenson, yay!
Tomorrow I take my nieces out for dim sum before they go back to college: I expect the line to be very long.
