Mostly I've been cooking and baking. I intended to make banana muffins to use up the thousands of overripe bananas I have in the freezer, but I had ingredient!fail despite going to the grocery store today, and forgot brown sugar.

3. I should really pay more attention to the prices of things at the co-op, because I ended up with $18 laundry detergent. Ouch. It's supposedly good for the environment. Or less bad. whatever. It ( Read more... )

There was snow, I swear to god. Little tiny flakes.

The thermostat at work read 62 F this morning. It only got up to 64 by 3pm, so my boss sent us home. Now I'm curled up with a mug of chai and hoping I feel my feet sometime tonight.
