I am at the laundromat. And I'm hungry, so I got Cheezits and an energy bar from the machine. Now to try and catch up on my volunteer stuff, oy.
That's my girl... That's my good girl.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Venison with brown goat cheese sauce and lingonberries, rutabaga with vanilla bean and rosemary. Also a green salad with shiitake vinegrette dressing, but that's not from the book.
That does sound of the yum. Daniel is at work, so it's just me and the cats. I had a red leaf lettuce salad with clementine sections, cashews, and red bell pepper. Just used a bottled creamy Italian dressing, but I loved it. Then I had portobello mushroom ravioli with a tomato-basil sauce. Finished up with a pear that I sliced up and shoved in the microwave with a handful of blueberries, brown sugar, cinnamon and a pat of butter. I felt feast-y for lunch.
And now, I shall have some restaurant leftovers for supper.

Grocery store and Target accomplished. Pity; I could use a good fight.
DINNER AT CALLI'S TONIGHT!
Darn it; I'm making one of those Bertolli's frozen pasta things: the penne with shrimp and spinach. I brown butter, add garlic to the butter for 15 seconds, and fresh thyme to it, and serve with cheese sticks.
Then I gota get me some work done. No Downton Abbey for me tonight; I'll have catch up tomorrow. The first one of this season airs tonight, yes? Or have I missed it? HORROR!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I made tofu chimichurri -- marinated in a sauce made with parsley, cilantro, garlic, shallots, and a little vinegar -- plus mashed potatoes and cauliflower (I don't like the low-carb mashed cauliflower instead of potatoes, but a mixture of about half of each works well) with gravy.

Mom brought over leftover chicken marsala when she was here this week, so I defrosted that and made a ton of mashed potatoes with goat cheese for dinner.

I am running errands (actually managed to drag stuff to donate, exchanged soda stream, waiting on pants to be hemmed). But to wait while they were hemmed I thought I'd get a pedicure, an it was possibly the worst one I've had. Not coming back here. Humph.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I am finally getting my paper written, which is good since the panel is on Thursday. Oy! I feel like a total fraud right now, like I have nothing to say beyond the absolutely obvious.
smonster, you and StW look adorable together! Such a cute couple. (Which may be obvious, but it's the kind of thing that bears repeating.)
I have to do some grocery shopping tonight, but I can't decide which is the lesser of two evils, taking my kids to TJs at 5 pm to do some shopping, or waiting until they have gone to bed and trolling the barren aisles with the other laggards.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Erin, I think it's the 3rd Downton Abbey tonight. They are showing up on PBS.com as soon as they air, I heard.

Thank you, Burrell!! I think so, too. We're also pretty well matched in dorkdom - when I suggested a cheesy prom-style picture he was all for it.
Lord, I hate losing all that time to the laundromat. And I only folded a third or so of the laundry! I did talk to my brother for almost an hour, it was nice to catch up. But despite my snacking, I ended up at the grocery store hungry and bought 2.5 lbs of ground beef, among other things. I'm making burgers right now (STARVING), and I figure I'll do batches of chili and spaghetti sauce to eat and freeze.

Thrive to spite them
I was going to cook when I got home from work , but someone went home sick so I stayed until close (from 11:00-8:30 ish), so instead of cooking I went to the grocery store and stocked up on diet cokes and frozen dinner.
Tomorrow I'm cooking ...I'm not sure what it's going to be, but I'm going to roast some garlic, mix it with oil, saute kale in that, cook a chicken quarter and breast, add lemon juice and zest, and cook some rice.
And I'm cleaning tomorrow and staying in the house b/c FedEx is supposed to come by and I need to sign for it, and all the note said was it would be delivered before 7 pm. I'm also taping a note to the door - Dear FEDEX Driver. I am HERE!! Please knock loudly and give me time to get to the door. Thank you!
Because they came by on Thursday, and I heard knocking,b ut I thought it was for the neighbor and by the time I checked no one was there.
