Snow is Glistening ...
Sorry I didn't update yesterday. We had to spend the entire afternoon stuffing Holiday cards to be sent out by the Sorority. Plus, I had to get out the letters that kick out the non-working treasurers and scold those who aren't doing their job.
Anyway, not much happened on Tuesday evening. Oasis went well. It's the last one we'll have until January 9th so I'm really glad I got to go.
Last night was the Indy Knights Christmas party complete with the annual tradition of listening to the Christmas Album (which I used to own and still like a lot) and showing the Holiday Special (mmm, Wookie porn). We also had the usual gift exchange. This year was really great because I brought a really fantastic gift, the Star Wars Trivial Pursuit DVD game (on sale Black Friday for $10.00, regularly about $50.00) and beldar brought an okay gift, a stuffed Watto and a set of Star Wars pencils. It turns out we both got gifts in kind and the people who got our gifts loved them. Yea! The party was nice. The food was good and we all had a lot of fun.
Tonight is beldar's last class. They're having a party and serving food that would have been eaten in biblical times. We happened on a bunch of instant falafel mix a while back so we're making falafels for them. Meanwhile, I'll be hanging out at home and watching some TV (DVR's pretty full again).
The weather took the expected turn last night and I awoke to a lightly frosted world. Since the snow is dry and the winds are high, the roads weren't too bad. However, they were VERY slick. My typical 30 minute commute took about 60 minutes and I never made it above 45 (considering I usually get passed by when I'm driving 70-75, you can see how that went). I'm probably going to leave a little early this evening in order to get home okay (and make falafel).
I really wish I didn't have to work today. It would have been a great day to snuggle up in bed and around the house and play games. I really hope we can find the power cord quickly this weekend so that we could maybe spend next weekend doing just that.
Anyway, I guess that's about it for now. BTW, since my work gives us the days between Christmas and New Year's off, beldar & I will be going back to Arkansas for that week so updates during that period will likely be spotty. We are making plans to meet some of our LJ friends during that time so if you're one of my readers and you are interested in saying "Hi" and aren't on beldar's Ark filter, please let us know and you can get our schedule updates.
Also, if you'd like a Holiday card from myself (and/or beldar), please email me your address at the_dark_snack (at) yahoo.com . We will be sending out cards soon and would love for everyone to be on the list and get one.
Well, I guess that's about it for now. I will talk more tomorrow.
TTFN!
