I want to make these cookies with walnuts, craisins, and chocolate chips, which means there is basically no point to bringing them either to my family or to work. I may decide to make different mini-batches with different additions for different people. Or I may say fuck it, and eat them all myself!

Carnitas, from the slow cooker, bitches!

bon bon, recipe, por favor?

Jesse, that pic cracks me up, because everyone (but the kids) is drinking Michelob. "Tonight is kinda special...Michelob!"

Do they even MAKE that beer anymore? (Not a beer drinker.)

I have a lot to do today; work, MUST GO TO GROCERY STORE, some cleaning and laundry, frame some stuff, put away from craft stuff from my Girly Craftsmas creation day last week and get some stuff ready to send at the post office Monday.

It snowed/sleeted here last night. The road and my walkway were clear this morning, though; everything's just wet. Ice remains on the wood stairs, as I almost discovered the hard way - foot slipped, but I didn't fall. The pine trees are iced and their limbs are drooping with the weight of it. It's so pretty.

Are they jingling in the breeze, like the world's biggest wind chime?

They might if there were enough of a breeze!

I was unable to find a shower curtain I'm really crazy about that didn't cost an arm and a leg, but browsing around at Target I did find this, which is at least quirky and goes with the decor and exposed brick in my bathroom.

OMG, when Sam Worthington says "Today is the day everything changes" I'm totally reminded of someone interesting saying something much like that. Who is it? Help my mouldering brain!

Jack Harkness in the Torchwood pilot? I can see how he might not immediately come to mind in connection with Sam Worthinzzzzzzz...

I'm failing in motivating. I really don't want to go out and see who has cleaned their sidewalks. I'm choosing to lounge.

Also: I don't believe that my landlord has cleaned the walk or the stoop of my building yet.

It's from the CI slow cooker book, which I recommend. I would type it in if I weren't leaving the house in 2 minutes.

YES. Thank you, Matt. I will have to track the Torchwood opening bit down and properly rewire my brain. I swear to god, Worthington. If you have any talent, so far, you're doing an ace job of hiding it.

I just spent half an hour fiddling around in my cables closet. No, I only have one digital audio cable. I've decided to separate out all the seriously?? cables from the bunch, but I still have a bunch of crap I'll never use that I'm keeping. All those *other* format of USB? I have about ten of those. Two devices that use them, and ten cables. I'm not sure where I accumulated those from.

But, dammit, I don't know if my audio bar is broken, or if it's my TV, or the cable. And I don't have the energy to go back to the store today.
