It's Jan 1 and my lilies out back are trying to push through. This weather has confused everything. My snapdragons in buckets are even trying to come back to life.
I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I do wish I had some juice, my champagne would be better in the form of mimosas, I suspect. I think the closest I could get right now is sprinkling some True Lime in the glass.
Christmas morning I took leftover prosecco and blood orange fancy soda from the day before and made a not-bad mimosa. I was glad I didn't just pour them both out!

Oh, that sounds nice! I'm having a champagne cocktail with True Lime right w and its not bad. The crystals revitalize the bubbles.
I'also having eggnog in my coffee because I don't know how I'm going to get through this quart of eggnog (store-bought, because I've never actually had store-bought eggnog before and wanted to try it this season).

I wish they would sell pints of eggnog! I've only had it at the work brunch [this year], because the whole quart is Too Much.

You can use the leftover for French toast or bread pudding.

That's a great way to use it, brenda. I had never thought of that.
So, I'm contemplating a big craft project - a fandom quilt, but the patterns I'm seeing are daunting. Must think more on this.

That's a good idea, brenda. I don't have bread at the moment, but that can be fixed.
I think the store-bought eggnog is just too milky for me, but that's probably okay if I use it as an ingredient. Hm, maybe I'll make pancakes!
Ooh, fandom quilt sounds nifty, Kat!

Mmmmm!
I was going to make ham and roasted potatoes for dinner, but the ham says to heat at 325 and I want to cook the potatoes at 500! Blast.

Roast the potatoes first and then stick 'em back in for the last 10 minutes or so of the ham?

Yeah, good one.
