In which it’s not much, but it’s what there was. Hitting Snooze I was scheduled to work a short noon-to-four shift today, which sucks because it’s too cold to walk and there’s no bus so I’d have to take two taxi rides. Which makes no sense if you’re only working four hours, because you’d spend […]
In which I’m a domestic goddess. When I got up this morning — and when I say ‘morning’ you should read ‘afternoon,’ because I didn’t get up until twelve-thirty — I already had dinner planned and was resolved to wash the bed linens. I stretched lightly in bed, then got up and did a few […]
In which I watch TV, cook, and hang out online. (WHAT IS NOT TO LOVE ABOUT THIS RIVETING CONTENT, I ASK YOU.) Hi. Welcome to my day off. It’s pleasantly sunny outside, although the high is still ONLY ZERO DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. I am wearing sweats. They’re grey. The hoodie sports the logo of Scott’s alma […]
In which it’s Friday for most, but Saturday for me. I slept until noon, because today is my day off. As I was slowly drifting awake, I planned my day. Here’s what happened. Intention: Get up, pee, do yoga. Make tea. Make the bed. Dress. Sit and meditate. Sort the laundry. Then have a spa […]
In which I LOVE THIS WEIRD BREAKFAST. This meal makes no sense. I mean, it’s basically bacon and eggs and toast, which is pretty normal, but then there’s tomato, mushrooms, and… beans? And the toast isn’t toasted, it’s fried. It makes no sense, at least, until you read some very, very old cookbooks and discover […]
In which there is no irony in this post. Happy Thanksgiving! Last night we stayed up late enjoying Christmas movies and adult beverages and this amazing hot spinach-artichoke dip we made somewhere around midnight. It was AMAZEBALLS. (Click the pic for a link to the recipe.) Then we slept and snuggled until well past noon […]
In which there are pictures. On Friday I worked for 6 hours and got a flu shot. Then I ate this adorable lunch. On the way home, I stopped and bought these flowers to go along with the orange lights and pumpkin that my beloved had already brought home. Autumnal! When Scott got home after […]
In which there’s a recipe for soup, because I want to know EXACTLY WHERE THIS IS and not have to read a dozen other recipes again the next time I decide to make soup for Scott. I haven’t eaten chicken noodle soup for a few decades, probably, but I remember the Campbell’s and Lipton versions: […]
In which I’m another year older. Yesterday was my birthday. My beloved bought me a laptop, I bought myself a skin for my Kindle Fire tablet so now it looks all burlwood and excellent, and my dad, who is in town for a week, bought dinner! I also chatted with a friend who just took […]
