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.

Ooh, I like that shower curtain!

Jesse, that pic cracks me up, because everyone (but the kids) is drinking Michelob

Seriously, every detail in that picture is classic.

Cookies are done, laundry is in the dryer! Hooray.

Must clean house. Really. My butt seems to be stuck to the comfy chair.

My slow-cooker carnitas are:

Rub a pork putt with whatever carnitas-type spices you like (chili powder, cumin, salt, anything else that strikes your fancy), let sit overnight in the fridge.

Put the pork butt in the crock pot, dump a jar of salsa verde over it. Cook forever. (8+ hours)

Before serving, crank up the broiler on high. Pull the pork butt and spread it out on a sheet pan. Put it under the boiler and let it get crispy. NOMS.

Survived Dylan's G&T testing this afternoon. Feel like I'm going to need a few G&Ts to get through a snowed-in weekend with these kids.

Somehow I let Dylan talk me into putting in Phantom Menace. I knew it was bad, but I'd honestly blocked out just how bad.

Busy day here so far. I have an internet connection, a new television system I need to figure out, a working refrigerator (-t and Juliana, it fit!), a washing machine that was installed, a dryer that wasn't but will hopefully be soon, the gardener came and mowed my lawn, and the alarm company is making a second attempt at installing the security system. Once that is done, I need to make a grocery store run, but after that, I don't think I am doing anything, except maybe a little unpacking.

Yay! And I think all of us who have moved understand that the internet is the most important.

You have a gardener, Lee! NICE!

Thanks for passing on the news about Stephanie, amych. I've been thinking about her.

I did go out to a yoga class and picked up some pants I had hemmed but, man, am I lazy today! I should at least go take a shower, I guess.

Hooray for the fridge that fits! I take it the washer and dryer fit okay, also? And which room is Dita's?
