rolanniWell! It looks like the Big Storm has veered out to sea, and won't dump lotsa snow on us here in Central Maine, after all. Speaking of your mixed blessings.
Today continued the theme of festive and unexpected.
On the unexpected side, I broke the last of my blue water glasses, damn it. And! We actually own several more tablecloths than I had supposed. I blame this last on the cats, who hide them, and then use them for their own Nefarious Purposes.
On the festive side, the tree is up! This year we have a modified Sun Tree -- orange and yellow, leavened with red. It's quite attractive. Steve and I made sugar cookies, which, let's see, give us three! different! sorts! Chocolate chip, gingerbread, and sugar. Plenty too much, and all of them of delicious.
Also on the festive side of things, Steve made chicken and veggie stir-fry for lunch, which was wonderful. Even more wonderful is that there are leftovers, so I can have a reprise for lunch tomorrow.
I'm pretty pleased with the weekend, actually, though naturally I wish there were more of it.
Only four more working days until Winter Break.
*cracks knuckles*
Hope everyone's weekend was pleasurable and just busy enough.
Progress on The Book Presently Known as George:
8,426 words/100,000 OR 8.43% complete
She had then recommended that he find a book or play a match game, but the books in the nursery library were boring, and the counterchance program had performed a disallowed move that placed him unjustly in peril, and besides that, it was bright and sunny outside.

Re: Off subject just a bit
