it can't be only five weeks till christmas
Seriously. I'm not even ready for Thanksgiving, though I made up my grocery list last night and spent like an hour on the bon appetit website trying to find this sweet potato recipe from the recent edition because I couldn't find the torn out page and swore it was from last month.
After giving up, I went through my stack of holiday recipes torn from magazines again and found it. It was from 2012. *sigh*
I also discovered that cwtv.com doesn't make you wait eight days to see a show, so I can catch up TVD since the last two weeks still aren't available here. I need to remember to switch my DVR so it records TVD and not Bones since someone is doing the naughty on the latter.
I'm not talking about the KU loss to Kentucky. As a friend of mine said, 'well, now we know what a college vs. pro team looks like'. The forum is all 95% doom and gloom and 5% sanity. I'm in the 5% sanity section, not calling for the coach's head or to have him kick players off the team, blah blah blah.
I did go from "noob" to "recruit" by going over one hundred posts in responding politely to the idiots.
Yesterday boss did not go away for half the day which wasn't really surprising since he'd just spent a week with the guy, but that meant I didn't get to goof off and post here for one thing. He does have court all morning and other attorney is out as well.
Or write that fic due today. I think I know what I'm going to do but it's a new pairing, one I don't even read. I'm still trying to figure out how the mods took my listing of pairings that are mostly the adults and all het or slash and assigned me someone who wants almost all femmeslash with the teenagers. At least I can write from the POV of a character I have written a lot.
Yesterday's happy was that Lisa is back in choir after finishing all her coursework for her PhD! And she's singing tenor which is good because we have so few and we have a surfeit of altos.
Jeez, now we're going to have thunderstorms and 60 degrees on Saturday. Could the stupid weather make up its mind? I'm not thrilled, as mom and I are going shopping in the morning and then lugging ten bags of stuff to Goodwill in the truck. Really don't want to do that in the rain but they're taking up a lot of space in the living room and that's really the only feasible day before the holidays to get rid of them.
But at least, for now, they've taken out the snow for next Friday, though it's going to very cold--31--with moderate north winds. Of course this will probably change half a dozen times between now and then. Mom and I are still planning to go downtown.
My legs don't itch anymore but are still ugly looking.
Hopefully today's happy will be the Chiefs beating the Raiders because, 1) the Chiefs, and 2) you don't want to be the first team to lose to a team that hasn't won yet this far into the season.
